West Coast Swing - Trent Park

[mikeyr]

Just to say a big thankyou to all of you that turned out at such short notice to support Christopher & Katrina for their last WCS class in this UK visit. I think it safe to say it was well worth it

Thank You!

Watching Cruella's face as she danced with Christopher would have been worth the admission price alone !

Thank You!

It was worth it just for that one dance with Christopher!

What do you mean, I was as cool as a cucumber!

Yes, another excellent night at Trent Park, a lot busier than previous weeks due to the attraction of Chris & Katrina but with wooden flooring throughout, still lots of room to dance.

I love the way C&K emphasise and re-emphasise the critical importance of the relationship between the relative body positions of the partners to the successful execution of patterns (as well as enabling a stretch to the anchor). I know I get this wrong a lot of times and I know my partners get it wrong a lot of times but when it comes together it feels s-w-e-e-t

I think their presence at June Eclipse might be enough to sway me to book it.

Do you always keep your cucumbers in the fridge?

Thanks to everybody that made the trek on such short notice. Remember next week we are back to normal and back at Trent Park.

I believe that fellow forumite Mario Robau Jr (THE man in WCS) is taking the classes at Trent Park tonight. I was gutted to miss his workshop yesterday as my car wouldn't start (I guess I should be grateful it wouldn't start at home rather than having gotten to Bisley) Car's in the garage today so hopefully if it's sorted in time I can make it down tonight.

If you've never experienced his teaching (or even if you have) I urge you to make it down there tonight - he's not to be missed

Unless something completely wears me out between now (lunch time) and this evening I am going to head out for my first nights WCS (only third time dancing) since June - yay! You have to all be gentle and patient with me though as I am going to be crap and my confidence is predictably low with this, but it aint gonna improve until I get back out there again.

Really looking forward to seeing everyone again - six months months is a long time.

Oh no! The one day I feel really rough and don't feel like dancing! Yes, I really do feel that rough

[Top Bird]

Did the whole weekend, workshops and freestyles. Mario is an amazing teacher and such a nice guy. IMHO it has to be the highlight of the dancing calendar for me. Feeling exhausted at the moment but have every intention of getting to Trent Park tonight to see The Man again during his visit as I can't wait till Thursday when he is in my neck of the woods.

Had such a fantastic night last night. It was so great to see everyone and although my dancing was somewhat understandably lacking it felt great to West Coast again. I didn't expect my third dance in three months to be double trouble with Chels and Mario - more than a little overwhelming but forced me to get over my nerves

Had some lurvely dances - can't wait until Coasters on Saturday!

Mike and Marion made me so welcome last night and Mario and Samantha are fantastic teachers, it made for the perfect first night back. It was a shame I wasn't fit enough to cope with the weekend workshops but shall definitely be attending when they next come over - bring them back soon

[Lory]

I had a really great time too. Mario really is a great teacher and an all round fab bloke

He's a dream to dance with too!

[sunnybunny]

I'm annoyed I missed what sounds like a great night.

I felt my energy was best spent tucked up on the sofa at home fighting off the lurg.

[robd]

Yes, excellent night. One of Mario's strengths is quickly assessing what people are doing wrong when trying to lead/follow the moves he is teaching and succinctly explaining how to put it right.

I enjoyed a very nice dance with Samantha to a song that I really love. In fact, I had lots of really good dances all night long, well worth the journey (and enough to help make me forget the money I'd had to spend to get the car back on the road earlier in the day :sad

Having missed the last workshop - do you know he's teaching this Saturday at Brixworth?! You can catch up on some of the good stuff you missed last weekend while you were cursing at your car instead.
