| Aberdeen venues
Last night enjoyed yet another great evening at Culter - the venue just gets better and better. There is a real balance of ceroc regulars and new faces - a really good night guaranteed every time. And that dance floor must be the envy of cerocers Scotland-wide!
Thursdays at O'Donoghues, however, are quite a different story... I am becoming increasingly concerned about the number of intermediate dancers who are dropping out of Thursday night due to their frustration at the limitations of this venue. I even heard recently that some keen cerocers were now doing salsa at Buds Bar (a few doors down from O'Donoghues) on Thursday as they were tired of fighting for dance space and had decided to stop supporting ceroc at O'Donoghues. Ironically, of course, they still want to dance.
This increasingly leaves Thursday night with a sense of impermanence - there is always a sea of new faces and a constant turnover of people. I have talked to many 'Regulars' who have now voted with their feet and given up on Thursdays altogether. Yet those same people would still love to dance on Thursday - or at the very least have that option available. |
