Dance Events not to miss in 2007- Year Planner

[Minnie M]

........Ever thought about reciprocal-links / sponsorship?

Most sites have a link to mine - the trouble is you have to do it yourself to keep it up to date, that is why most stop doing it after a couple of years. Silly as it may seem, but most orgainisers are too lazy to let you know their dates especially when it is a free service.

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

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?

[Little Monkey]

Snap, me too!
I enjoyed it last year, so looking forward to (plus got a cheap ticket).

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing you at all of them!

You doing BFG and Scottish Champs, too?

[Delectable]

You missed out 22-24 June 2007 'Hafen@ Pwllheli - Ceroc.

sorry folks, made a bit of a spelling mistake, should have been 'Hafan' and not 'Hafen'

[Lynn]

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing you at all of them!

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!

I am sure there are loads more than this, but may assist.
(If I have got anything wrong then tough).

I'm only booked for 2 of these so far, Feb Southport and Blackpool, but I'll answer 3+ anyway!

Some events I liked in 2006, but not on the list were:

1. Jive Addiction 'Big Bang' weekend Weston super Mare (April, August)
2. UK Leroc Champs, Weston super Mare (July)
3. Ceroc Monster Jive Cocktail, Bisley (August)
4. 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.

If you start including smaller weekend MJ events and 'big' freestyles things get busier and if you include non MJ events like salsa, swing and tango (to name a few) and start including events outside the UK (as you have done) then where do you stop?

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!

Dates are: Friday 17th August to Monday 27th August.

Modern Jivers will be catered for from Friday 17th to Friday 24th.
Lindy Hoppers will be catered for from Monday 20th to Monday 27th.

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!

Yeah....................

i'm booked in with the children

they have been dancing ever since the last one, its will be interesting watching Joe dance with you Suzy he knocks my head off


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

somthing to brighten these dark January nights

[SuzyQ]

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?

[fletch]

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

love the girlie chats

[David Bailey]

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.

[Simon r]

...and of course

BritRocK 2007... 12 - 13 October 2006....

G...x

Shame this overlaps with a weekender looks like one day at each poor Nicole

I'd be a bit thirsty if I didn't have one.

what a good idea for me

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

And how many other weekenders will we see you at 'for one night only' ?
