Yes I have, and I was wrong to neglect my local classes. There was a mind-set that said we should go to London to get great teaching and dancing. Some Tuesday nights we had over 20 Brighton dancers in Ealing!
However, I now regard the time I spent travelling those distances as part of my journey to becoming a decent dance teacher. I wouldn't be the dancer and teacher I am now if I hadn't had all those lessons from the likes of Nigel, Amir and Viktor. But now I dance down the road and absolutely love it. Our classes have built up from less than 20 on a Thursday night to over 100 and they're still growing. Most of our dancers have been dancing less than 12 months but you won't see a bouncy hand in our hall! Unless they've visited from a class down the road - but we do give special remedial lessons to those people
