    If I am free on Sat 8th, I'm seriously temped to do these workshops. I take it that no previous WCS experience is required. Please note that I once tried Lindy and I was complete pants at it.
    One question David, I notice that your schedule has you in Blackpool this Saturday, then at Sunday 12.30pm you are in Kingston-Upon-Thames. Are you mad or just plain Bionic!

    I noticed that too Will....

    Still, leave Blackpool at 6am (after dancing until 2am of course). Should just about manage it. Robert isn't actually teaching until 2pm, so he does have the extra 90 minutes....

    Sounds like the sort of thing I'd do

    Re the workshop on the 8th. David and Lily are teaching a class in the morning for complete beginners. I'm sure that he'd advise you to go to that. I'm just getting in before him!!

    I went to Robert's class last night & had a great time. If you haven't been yet, and you have the opportunity to get to any of the remaining workshops, I really recommend that you do - he's a fantastic teacher.

    Thanks David & Lily for setting this up, and for coming down here yesterday. It was lovely to meet up with you. Thanks for the wonderful dances, David - and Lily, what can I say? The demo was amazing!
