    Hey Newkid Zebras don't like spending the whole week clinging to the fence...

    I actually alternate between fence sitting and early commitment, just to be mysterious. Er.... I can see it didn't work.

    Last time we had and Ashtons/Hipsters clash I voted early, and at the last Hipsters Cheshunt I voted late. Anyway this time I voted immediately, if you click on the voting numbers you can see that.

    What's with the 200 views and only 13 votes ? (maybe it's the Champs factor, or is everyone waiting for Adam to post? )

    I hope that fence is strong.

    Just proves the point that I'm not very good yet then

    Cheshunt is a great venue, but I found it hard work dance partner wise last time I must admit - just couldn't quite get into the evening somehow. Probably just me...

    Never been to Hipsters.

    So it probably be one or the other for me, but it's too early to say

    Sorry Guys,

    Still going to be not able to dance so definately the 'other' option. No idea yet what.

    I can only tempt/torture myself by turning up to nights when i know there's going to be lots of people to chat to.

    Good luck to all those competing - let us know who comes where please.

    M6, M74, M8 (or A74), follow the ring road round to the east of Edinburgh until you see signs for Musselburgh, follow signs until you find a 'welcome to Musselburgh' sign. There you will find Cheshunt (temporarily renamed Musselburgh). There ye shall find the finest dancers in the land on the 2nd.

    If only..... I have my neice's hen night on the Saturday, I have already incurred the wrath of the whole family by missing the wedding because od Southport

    I thought Cheshunt would be stretching it a bit but Musselburgh
    I definate maybe for next year though when I can dance better and get to know some of you crazy gang more You definately seem my kind of people

    OK, as a comparison of Hipsters and Cheshunt:

    • Hipsters has better dancers, Cheshunt has more space to dance in
    • Hipsters goes on later, Cheshunt starts earlier
    • Hipsters bar has a good range of soft drinks, Cheshunt has a proper bar (and free water!)
    • Hipsters (well, town hall) has salsa downstairs, but you have to pay twice (it's a separate organisation.
    • Good dance floor at both places
    • Hipsters is hot, Cheshunt is cool


    And finally, the music... this is a subjective (and indeed controversial area), so I'm probably taking my life in my own hands by expressing an opinion here. However:

    At Hipsters (DJ Jon Brett), there's a great variety of music played, pretty much to fit all tastes. There's possibly more of a Lindy tradition amongst the clientele than other influences, which is reflected in the music chosen. Whilst there are always some good tracks there, it's not always personally to my taste.

    At Cheshunt (DJ Robin), there seems to be more of a "smooth tunes" feel to it for me; there's a higher proportion of Latin and Blues music there, with more slow transitions between different music styles.

    But again, music is always very very very subjective - my advice is try both and make up your own mind...
