I would love to get more Salsa on it, but as I don't do it myself it is difficult to find the info, that is why my list is 75% Modern Jive. When I was running the Winning Post there was a lot more R'n'R but have to seek it out now.
If anyone emails me dates of their favourite or local dances (my email address in on the web site) I will be happy to add to the list.
BTW want to keep it as impartial as possible, so sponsership would be difficult
thanks

Re: Dance Events not to miss in 2007- Year Planner
Well for what it's worth I rely heavily on your list to sort me out on a weekend(well you know what I mean). I know this post is not the definitive list of weekenders but as people were asking about dates and I had already looked for my own selfish purposes thought I would share. Also good way of finding out what else is happening.Keep up good work, can you get next month lookahead out earlier even if it indraft or is that asking too much?

Not sure, I want to get to Scotland at least once (as didn't manage at all this year) - so booked for Blaze. But the rest depends on leave allowance and finances!

13 2007 Nov 17th to 20th Scarborough Jive addiction
I'm only booked for 2 of these so far, Feb Southport and Blackpool, but I'll answer 3+ anyway! :D
Some events I liked in 2006, but not on the list were:
- Jive Addiction 'Big Bang' weekend Weston super Mare (April, August)
- UK Leroc Champs, Weston super Mare (July)
- Ceroc Monster Jive Cocktail, Bisley (August)
- Ceroc Breeze weekender, Brean Sands (near WSM.... OK, it's local to me!)
I quite like the 'short weekender' format ala Big Bang and MJC (Fri night and Sat all day - Sunday to recover) A lot cheaper, almost as much fun, and less strenuous!
I'll probably do some of these again in 2007 if they run.

We often have similar arguments when these threads come up, from a personal point of view I'd prefer it if people just added the ones they're interested in that haven't appeared so far. Especially as you can find out who's going from polls for each individual event. Then the thread would be a much more useful source of information.
- WCS weekender, April 20th to 22nd at Weston-Super-Mare, Jive Addiction
- Aberdeen Beach Ballroom 17th/18th February 2007. 14th/15th July 2007. 17th/18th November 2007
- Beach Boogie (Anyone know the dates?)

I have 2 words for you:
BEACH BOOGIE!

Modern Jivers will be catered for from Friday 17th to Friday 24th.

I've only booked for Southport Feb (will be my first proper weekender) and Beach Boogie (YIPEE!)
Like Patrick I'm rather partial to a bit of Monster Jive Cocktail, Swinging the blues and Rebel Yell!

oooooo! what a nice thought, remember the weather last year :love:

Re: Dance Events not to miss in 2007- Year Planner
Yey!
Really glad you are going again (Fletch)! Am gonna try and be more sociable this time - I think I found the whole experience a little overwhelming this year ... so will look forward to lots of girly chats :)
Wondering if it is worth staying on for the Lindy splurge or not as it is an extra £130 (I think £70 extra for the dancing/entertainment and £40 extra for the chalet) ... currently booked into Splurges 1&2. Would I survive 10 days at camp colditz?
Re: Dance Events not to miss in 2007- Year Planner
with children I can only do 1&2 but I think that will be enough, there should be a few lindy people doing splurge 2 so I think we will get a bit of that anyway :clap:
love the girlie chats :flower:
Re: Dance Events not to miss in 2007- Year Planner
It just occurred to me, that if anyone was thinking of doing a Forum Calendar for 2008, putting weekender / big event dates on the calendar would be very useful - I'd buy it, for a start.

what a good idea for me :wink:
If anyone has any dates that are not on here please PM / email - I will compile and have a link to it from my web site.
I am sure others have done this too, but my list will include ALL dance weekenders regardless of dance style - so please let me have any Salsa or Tango weekenders you know of please - I wil colour code it as the list is and will try and be as comprehensive as I can be.

Not sure what kind of maths you're helping the kids with in school these days Cruella but that doesn't look like an allowance of 4 weekenders to me, unless of course brownie points have been earned and cashed in over Christmas :wink:
And how many other weekenders will we see you at 'for one night only' ? :rolleyes:
