Storm was my first weekender so I had nothing to go on, except price and location (nice and near!).

Now that I have had the experience, things I feel are quite important would be (in not particular order):

- Water!
- Blues room
- Good range of workshops
- Price (including travel, and therefore location also comes into it)

Not having experienced a non-'gender-balanced' event it is difficult for me to comment, but I think it is probably a good idea.

Things that are unimportant:

- Cabaret
- Accommodation (as long as it's not TOO bad!)
- Friends - when I booked Storm, and right up until I was there, I didn't know who/if anyone I knew was going to be there. Once I arrived, it was nice to see a few familiar faces, but I'm there to dance with anyone and everyone, so it doesn't really matter who else is there! (although this is probably because I don't consider most of the people I 'know' at Ceroc as 'friends' - they're just people I see each week and dance with! I don't see them outside of Ceroc and I don't chat - too busy dancing!)
