West Coast Swing In Twickenham

[Peter]

I'm planning to come along and try this class for the first time tomorrow...

So look forward to seeing some of you there, and be gentle with me on my first try at WCS...

Did you enjoy your first WCS night?!

[Paul F]

Always with the excuses...

As it happens it was a fabulous evening in a venue that was a joy to go to. The only thing that let it down was an iffy result in the Pro standard section IMO.
It was also a priviledge to see Anne Gleave again. If anyone knows who she is you will know what I mean. For those who dont know her, she is one of the most prominent ballroom ladies in the world. The thing is, she wasnt even dancing. She was adjudicating. Nevertheless she commands so much attention just by the way she stands!!! Breathtaking poise and posture.

On the point about the venue though, if any organisers want to hold comps and things - the millenium suite in the Effingham Park Copthorne Hotel is absolutely awesome. I think there is a floor there but, depending on the event size, it would need an additional temporary floor.

Just thought I would mention it in case anyones interested.

Did anyone NOT enjoy the Putney WCS freestyle yesterday? The music was excellent and there were loads of dancers!

Totally agree. It really was a fantastic freestyle. Plenty of room, good floor, great music, great dancers (in both experience and personality). I dont really get to go on Wednesdays due to other commitments so when these come round I love to go along.
Looking forward to the next one.

especially to the music. Some great stuff from Greg esp. Michael Jackson and Cameo It would be good if these could become a regular event.

It was also good to see so many new faces at the workshop. And most of them stayed on to freestyle which was great.

[Sheepman]

Well I certainly had a great time!

It was good to see so many who'd attended the 3 hour workshop staying right on till the end of the freestyle. No doubt helped by the fact that the top dancers were dancing with everyone. (And at least one bad person still dancing, when he couldn't even walk, I hope the back hasn't totally seized up today ) A fab atmosphere, with almost even numbers.

The next one does feel a long way off

I had a great time at Putney yesterday too

It was fab music and company - lots of new faces as well as regular favourites.

I was so tired by the end and I only did the freestyle .

Hope that these sundays continue

[Sheepman]

esp. Michael Jackson

I can't really take credit for that one, apart from the fact that I asked the friend who suggested it, "any requests?"

Had really great afternoon and so good to see so many folk there, especially so many new faces at the workshop. WCS is certainly gaining momentum and events like yesterday will guarantee its future. I had some really wicked dances!! Know I thanked you yesterday, Greg but will do it again - a great set!! When is the next T-dance, sounds like it might be some way off??

Now Paris and Southport to look forward to - it's going to be a really busy and exciting time!!

[Sheepman]

I don't think there's a date set yet, but with Cat flying off next month, it won't be until April.

So in February that just leaves Southport, Ashtead, & Oxford with plenty of WCS freestyle, ...
Hmm, it's looking a bit sparse in March though.

do we know a date for oxford?

Last night, poor Cat wasn't very well and Lee was away, so Amir gallantly stood in

I think he must have been inspired by the snow, as we had a fun lesson all about sliding.

It was nothing like our usual lessons, (at one point I felt like I was at a school 'sports day' ) but it was good fun and on a personal note, I'm very glad I managed to be the subject of much hilarity for MsFab!

Anyway, well done Amir but please wish Cat well and tell her to hurry back soon!

[Sheepman]

do we know a date for oxford?

That'll be Saturday 24th.

[Alice]

well done Amir

I really enjoyed the class Well done for pulling it off with (I imagine) very little notice

The slides were fun too

sliding now that's cool...
can you do the heel slide thingy? can't manage it, would you show me at SP?

[Lory]

sliding now that's cool...

I can definitely do 'some kind of slidey thing'

...how cool it looks, is an entirely different matter!

But, i'll show you at SP anyway and you can have a good laugh, if nothing else!

[Msfab]

We're in for a treat this evening! Heidi Groskreutz will be making her debut appearance at Twickenham tonight where shes talking both classes!
