West Coast Swing In Twickenham

**jacksondonut** · 22nd-March-2006, 12:58 PM

We are taking a trip down to Twickenham tonight, to take a look at Cat and Lee's West Coast Swing Class...

(St Margerets I believe)..

Thought we would head off to the big Smoke and check it out. Any comments from anybody who has been and tried it out before us, would be welcome.

Cat is teaching in Australia with Paul Warden at the moment. Her classes are being covered by World Champion dancer Lee Easton, (sorry Lee, but sometimes you've just got to mention these things!

) but I'm not sure who is teaching with him. Who ever it is, you can rely on first class instruction from Lee.

The venue is quite small, but can cope with these classes. See the T-Jive/Jango threads for a full description.

If you're not sure where the venue is, there is a map/descriptions on Amir's site http://www.fusiondance.freeservers.com or www.westcoastswing.co.uk

Hi Jan

I too will be at WCS tonight. Last week Lee took a fab class without an aid (because he is Fab

), although this week he was talking about bringing someone with him.
Its a nice cosy venue but theres always space to dance and everyone is really friendly and patient (well they have to be with me!

) There is usually a good balance of genders too.

Lookin forward to meeting you... spotted you in the distance at Hammersmith but didnt get the chance to say Hello..

See you later.

It was well worth the trip down to London... We left Milton Keynes about 6pm and managed to get to the venue about 745pm.. not a bad trip down at all.
We actually found it...

Thoroughly enjoyed the WCS class taught by Lee

(who I think is Fab too)..

People were patient, helpful,very welcoming and friendly. About 25/30 bodies, so not too packed at all. !

Great to meet some lovely Forumites.. MSFab, GeordieEd, Keith, Mary and lots of other lovely people too. (apologies if I have missed anyone..

)

They were all so nice. Was able to practice a little after the class and found it to be extremely well taught and do-able, even for a beginner like myself.

We will be going back. May not be able to do it every week... but I am certainly going to try!

Noooooo please - I will never have a go at you Mary, as I said I love dancing with you! If anything, I get fustrated with myself for not leading you properly so you end up doing something I wasnt trying to lead! But as they say practice makes perfect and with your help I will get there one day soon I hope. It just shows how wonderful a follower you are - not anticipating!
