[Mary]

Was hoping to go tonight but still more packing to do - it seems never ending, and only one more day to go.

However, I look on the bright side - after Friday we are only walking distance to Funky Lush

I am coming to Twickenham with Jan !

It was a good night, wasn't it

I thought the guest teacher Melanie was absoultely superb

The lesson was fast moving, informative and very entertaining. I learnt a lot!

The floor was horrid again though A big thank you to this weeks talc fairy, Mary

[Zebra Woman]

I had a great night. Really enjoyed Melanie's class, the moves were well taught IMO and she was also very entertaining .

I can't find the right words for this but I'll have a go....

Most of all I enjoyed the way everyone was so supportive of each other and concentrating hard. I have never received so many dancing tips in one night from my dance partners. They were all most welcome. Thank you.

I contemplated on this on the way home....When three people (including Melanie the teacher) point out the same 'things that could be improved' to me - I know they must be right!


Thank you all, I felt very nurtured.

I'll be back

Big thank you to Jan for driving

In most regular Ceroc classes i've been to, people tend to only give the complimentary comments but no feedback at all, if anything feels wrong, which I agree is probably the best way to boost any complete beginners confidence, as it makes everyone feel good and lets face it, no one wants to be the bad guy. Also, we have no idea what aspirations the person has, they might simply be looking to have a fun night out and who cares if they do it wrong?

But I think it's safe to say, most folk that start WCS, are past that stage and welcome the truth and take any feedback positively. I know I do. I'd go as far as to say, I take it as a compliment, that someone's bothering to tell me!

I don't know if this is the same in all WCS classes but it seems to be the culture of 'this class' and personally, I find it really refreshing!

So what did people think of the class last night with Gary McIntyre.


It was good to have a technique based class like that over moves. To get the dance to work the large majority of the ideas taught fit into most things we do on the dancefloor. It didn't matter what level you were, whether a beginner or upper level beginner the techniques taught applied to everyone. There were a few fried brains by the time freestyle came around.

Well done to Cat for pursuading that level of dancer/instructor to teach her class. It was fantastic to see that sort of demonstration on lead/follow.

[Dizzy]

I really enjoyed the class with Gary & Susan last night

It was amazing to watch them do the moves they had taught in freestyle and the class was very refreshing as he was looking at us all and applying techniques to help improve what we were doing. He also taught ways in which to make our WCS look more fluid and stylistic.

Thanks to Gary & Susan and to Cat for organising

Looking forward to getting back to WCS tonight

If you were thinking of coming remember that the venue has changed permenantly to St. Mary’s Church Hall (the one will all the walls) and not the one attached to the pub with a sticky floor.
