See, you haven't run out of ideas just yet. If the dog turns fast enough inertia my bring the tail just close enough for it to catch it but you could always offer a helping handOriginally Posted by adss

Well then
Just back from a whirlwind tour of the home colonies, and some home cooked meals from mum in Sydney.
Taught 3 night for 3 MJ Companies in Aussie.
Was fun and a great learning experience for me also - very proud of the Aussies for continually pushing the limits. Its a humbling experience (in any country) to be privileged to teach talented people who can teach me at least as much as I teach them!
Advanced dancers? Hard to define I agree, but these are the people I continually learn from. Sometimes its a simple thing like making a basic move loook smoooooother. Or sometimes its a tricky thing, Like learning how to do a rotating dip from the likes of Adam Niland (Sydney) who can shift his partner several multiples of 180 degrees further than my best efforts, and she doesnt even feel like she has just been through several turns of the wringer (the guy is amazing - he lewt me film him for 25 minutes of non stop moves, new moves, varioations and combos!! Pure gold.).
Card System? Well, it still rocks!
I got to teach everything I ever dreamed of, at an "advanced" level, without fear of people complaining - on these nights, if a customer walks through the door, they KNOW its going to be as tough as I can make it. Dont like it? Go to a regular venue, where you can enjoy the intermediate classes, at a suitable pace. IA classes are for the discerning and accomplished customer who wants MORE. (They are not necessarily for the fast track beginner though... its not fair on the long timers who have earned their stripes with visible results... but thats another complex discussion on its own)
Just run the classes at the published level, and leave it to the customers to choose for themselves - and they do!
Bring on the Ceroc Storm weekend
See you all there
I am teaching a couple of tricks
Cheers
Simon

it was indeed great to have you hear Simon - and some of us even got to sample your classes twice.Originally Posted by Alice
And promise to make it to ISH when I am in London
No worries Simon, you are more than welcome I hope it helps! I am sorry I could not give you more but I could not think of more at the time. Next time you come back we can do it better and I will write them down so I remember all of them.Originally Posted by SimonSays
After you left all of these moves came to me which probably would have tripled your account. I am honoured to have you teach some of those moves and flattered that you liked them, you are truely an inspirational teacher and England is lucky to have you.

Will you be implementing a card system there, then?Originally Posted by SimonSays
Want to add my words that Simon, your teaching was fantastic and certainly some of the best that I've had since being in Melbourne.Originally Posted by SimonSays
Thanks for the work you put in, and I look forward to any other opportunities I'll get to learn from you (although I'm not fortunate enough to be travelling in your direction soon, so will have to be patient.
