    There is. But it's not right next to the town hall. It's a few doors up on the same side of the road, to the right of the TH as you face it (ie in the direction of Ealing Broadway tube).

    Have you all progressed so much that even lessons of this standard are dull to you?

    What gives? Do Tell.
    To enjoy a lesson takes one mood, to enjoy three hours of freestyle takes another. Sometimes people can take all this going to lessons, improving standards, becoming a better dancer, honing technique kick a leeetle bit too far. Occasionally it's nice to just go dance.

    Well, after some deep conversations last night, my choice is The Casbah (!) followed by Hipsters.

    See you there

    Tell me about it. I dance 4-5 nights a week but lessons like those at Hipsters crop up all too rarely. So when there is an opportunity for them then I really savour them. I can understand that if you are part of the West London hot house area and you have so many great teachers and dances that you could become a bit blasse about it all. But I am hearing of people that I know are driving great distances to get to this place, arriving in time for the lessons and then choosing to munch down at local eateries instead.

    Commis Chef remarked that apart from a few gems of leaders in the line up during the lessons there was a disturbingly high number of leaders who were incapable of an intermediate lesson let alone an advanced one (mostly because they don't seem to listen to a darn thing the teacher says from the stage). ChrisA has just said pretty much the same thing. I just wanted to hear more than one (commis chefs) view on the subject.

    So it seems that a lot of people could do, but won't do, lessons because of the hand mangling they are likely to recieve.

    For me, the going to lessons thing is just as important as the freestyle. I often look back at the last 6 months to year and ask myself "have I improved?" and "what should I be working on now?". If I were dancing (or anything else) for 20 years then I would like to have had 20 years of experience once rather than one year of experience 20 times.

    So, the reason why people avoid Hipsters lessons is intersting. A sensible solution to it just doesn't occur to me though.

    Hi Jon, curious to know why you haven't planned to work with the crowd before!

    As I'm only human like the rest of you I will now go into a little corner with my cd collection and cry and have no forumites at all to enjoy our music tonight ...

    Don't worry Tezi, the few of us who do prefer not to be elbow-room-only dancing will tell everyone next week how good you and Robin were

    (not that *my* judgement is to be trusted, after all, I rather like Amarillo)

    It isn't your music Tezi, you and Robin play fabulous sets!

    I just want the latest finish time possible!

    Anyone know of a venue that stays open till 4am?

    Re: Hipsters/Cheshunt or OTHER this Friday?

    I'm still sticking with Surbiton followed by the last hour at BFFF. I was really considering skipping the Surbiton bit, but Cat & Lee are teaching there tonight, and with all these hoards heading to Ealing, I'm happy to wait till it thins out a bit...

    Now, having had just just 3 hours, I just need to catch up on some sleep if I'm to be of any use to man or beast...

    Newkid and I will be there too! Not sure if we'll make the DWAS but we will be there. We're both hoping to get lots of dances throughout the night

    I am even fighting my way around the car park that is the M25 on a Friday night to be there!

    It was a really really tough decision . I am sure Robin and Tezi will play an
    excellent set tonight (and play to the crowd as they always do).

    Oh yes I'm up for that. I think I'm going to try mixing drinking and dancing tonight , just moderately OK
