Unfortunately, the programme you looked at is last October's but as I'm putting the finishing touches to Blaze III, I can promise you it's even better. I should have the full timetable (teachers and DJ slots) available on the website, on the Forum and emailed to everyone who booked, over the next week or two...

- Mario Robau Jr from Houston Texas, teaching 8 classes (incorporating plenty for WCS fans from Beginners to Advanced, as well as great technique, musicality and style for all dancers:
* Intro to WCS
* Advanced WCS
* Syncopations
* Spinning / Pivots technique and effects
* Adjusting your dance style to various musical Genres
* Musicality
* Cool Moves from WCS that can be used in your Ceroc dancing
* Movement quality: Transform the way you move and position yourself on the dance floor.

- Amir Giles from London / New Zealand, teaching 5 (from Jango to Tango and musicality):
* Jango 1
* Jango 2
* Intro to Argentinian Tango
* Impressive lunges and footwork
* Discover Musicality

- Clinton Glasgow and Emma Willis from Sidney Australia teaching 3 classes focusing on:
* Flash moves
* Fancy Styling
* 'It's all in the presentation'

- Marc & Rachel teaching 3 classes
* Midnight Blues
* Breakthrough patterns
* Steal Dances...

- Paul Farrell teaching a selection of Ballroom classics:
* Sensual Rumba
* Cheeky Chacha
* Whirling Waltz.

- Steve the Tramp teaching some cool dips and a double trouble workshop.

- Myself (Franck) teaching Basic Connection and a more advanced workshop on connection.

- Danielle Rathzel: Teaching some cool variations on the First Move for Beginners and a great workshop called 'Dee-Style'

- Christina Devine, a Line-dancing world Champion teaching 2 routines for solo dancing and improving your style and fluidity (Funky routine + Latin routine)

- Lorna Baker: Teaching Style tips for Beginners; working on what to do with your spare hand, eye-contact drama and general posture...

- Dale St Rose: The King of Blues teaching Fluid moves for Beginners

- Sheena (Tiggerbabe): Teaching a performance team Cabaret routine to be showcased on the Saturday night....

Overall, 32 incredible classes for all levels, guaranteed to improve all aspects of your dancing, and as Blaze is a more intimate week-ender, you actually get to see the teacher, and indeed dance with them without having to fight!

I believe Blaze III is not only the best line-up of all the Blazes so far, but the best Week-ender line-up I've ever seen at any Week-ender.

Re: Blaze III - Scotland, 9-12th may

Sounds like it Rob, but no.

Clint and Emma have won pretty much everything that can be won in Australian competitions for the last year. They're coming over to compete at the London Ceroc champs. Should be interesting to see how they do there

Oooooh yes, I love these fresh doughnuts and coffee right outside the venue!

I forgot to mention the DJ line-up, which is also up there with the best:

Marc, Rachel, Steve the Tramp, Sheena Tiggerbabe, John Baker, Rob Ambridge, Sally (DJ Bunny), Nicola (DJ Nix), Mas and Dale St Rose!

Not only are all those DJs incredible, but I believe we (once again) have the highest number of female DJs of any event... with plenty of time to enjoy their sets as we are dancing until 4.00am

Re: Blaze III - Scotland, 9-12th may

I was thinking of coming, then I realised the quickest way there is a 7 1/2 hour train journey! I could get to some of the foreign dance holidays quicker than that
