    Re: Pure Freestyle Night during the week

    I'd love it if Friday nights at Chesham were purely freestyle every couple of weeks

    Totally agree. I was going to go there tomorrow, but it's an hours drive each way for such a short freestyle with the classes always running so late. Think I'll give it a miss.

    Personally I would love a weekday night of pure freestyle.

    Ideally at the MK venue with Marc as the DJ. Yeah that would be awesome .
    Being a MK local I havent ventured to Bletchley for a very long time...... but I would love what you are suggesting... it is a shame it clashes with WCS in Twickers.... these days I am far more tempted to travel further to get a more enjoyable evening, than suffer 'you know who's ''
    musical tastes... (which is just on my doorstep)

    The first couple of weeks numbers were ok as people came to test the water as it were,but the numbers have gone down quite surprisingly.Perhaps every week is to regular and maybe once a month would be more realistic.
    As from May 4th Ceroc are opening up in Norwich on aThursday as well as their other nights which now means that there will be the chance to dance every night of the week in Norwich.
    Over saturation or not?
    I would be interested to see how that turns out, especially as Ceroc now runs other nights at Beccles and Holt. Norfolk has always seemed to have a large number of MJ class nights considering the size of the catchment. But it's a considerable journey (especially from north of Norwich) to try other venues and other styles, so to somje extent the operators have a captive audience....

    When I read of the frequency and distance that people such as Cruella,Fletch and Zebra Woman undertake in their search for a good nights dancing I feel a bit a fraud when I complain about having to travel about 25/50 miles.And I'm getting paid to go!!!

    Re: Pure Freestyle Night during the week

    Years ago Friday was freestyle night, always a short class but then three hours of freestyle then to Garfunkels to refresh!

    The point of a short class is to define the start time, i.e. beginners please arrive for the class, others arrive during the class and be ready to dance immediately after.

    Without a class the freestyles can drift to a later and later start time with early arrivers leaving before late arrivers. Giving a high headcount but few dances

    Telford has just opened a new friday evening venue called Joshua's - Pure Freestyle every Friday 7.45pm 'til 11.15pm.
    I think you can only do it if you have a regular class night running in the area too (in this case Oakengates Theatre) as survival and growth depends heavily on a constant influx of new members.
    Pure freestyle nights are also great because you only need a door manager and a DJ - no teacher/demo/taxi dancer concerns!

    Guess that depends on what flies she's catching!
