Though maybe he'll already have experienced Mario's teaching by that point - but there are plenty of other reasons to go to Blaze besides that......

Re: WCS in paris April 18,19,20.....

I would love to go to this - JOHN LINDO is amaaaaaaaaaaazing a fab character and a great personality, I wish John & Wes would book him for Southport - I know he would go down sooooooooo well

I am a bit worried about the language barrier - not only with fellow dancers but in general - I only know school girl french

Hello all,
first, thank you for excusing my rought translation ....

I'm philippe, the WCS All Stars organistor. For the WCS lovers, i think the line-up is superb !!!
John LINDO (charism, personality and kindness) and Mary Ann NUNEZ (personality, technical mastery) : have these two persons on the same training course is simply incredible. Moreover we have Ben And Melina, and the french teachers Olivier RIO and Amandine.
Really, an event of not missing!

You can ask me for all the precision which you wish ... and if you are enough many I can make you a preferential group rate.

thanks, best regards
Philippe

Welcome Phillipe / Moon-Fr

I do hope you stay on this forum - we welcome our friends from afar

I am really excited about your event - but wish there was an English version - I have emailed you from your web site as well for some info but as yet had no reply.

Stuff, like start / finish times (when registration time is and what time the event finishes) dancing times as well as day schedule. Is the event in a hotel where you can get accomodation, if not do you recommend a hotel where most delegates are staying etc

PS: Thank you for getting the most wonderful John Lindo to cross the pond

Minnie,
I've got all the info that Phillipe kindly sent through and can translate if needed if there's anything you're missing.

Phillipe also mentioned the possibility of a group rate if there are enough people interested - who is thinking of going? It's a cheap time of year for flights etc and the website has a good deal with a local hotel too...

Nothing to do with the event but do plan on going.

Hmmmmm, why doesn't money (and time for that matter) grow on trees????

Selfishly wish these events weren't happening so I didn't have to spend time dwelling on the fact that I can't go

Shall just have to focus on the fact that I am getting to go to Weston

Hi All,
Just a small message to say you that the schedule is now on-line on the wbesite. Le site du West Coast Swing Ã* Paris, avec le Festival : Paris Workshop 2008


Other thing, I am arranged has to make you an "groups rate", if you are enough many, the only condition is to be a balanced enough group.
More than 10 persons : 115 Euro for each, and if you are 20 persons 100 euro for each!

For information, I am negotiating the hotels prices, as well as for the restaurants!

Do not miss this occasions to take lessons with John Lindo and Mary Ann Nunez, on the same workshop!

Best regards - Philippe

Re: WCS in paris April 18,19,20.....

I need to inquire about this, James wants to come to Paris for my birthday and because he likes his multitasking, he wants to come to this too. If he can get to it I might be able to come for the freestyles at night, I'm getting my bi-lingual friends over here to translate for me but if someones doing a group booking myself and James would like to join!

Can someone let me know?

Thanks xx
