West Coast Swing In Twickenham

[Keith J]

Hi I think heidi said she is back on Wedn 25th April.
She gives out some great tips on isolations and variations on standard patterns.
She did a real nice sugar push where the follows side contacts the leads side and they effectiely pass with a body ripple.
Ab' fab stuff on a Wedn night.

Yay!!! Finally I will get to experience her teaching
*bounce* in a non-wcs way, of course

When she teaches, she is buzzing with energy, even when she's standing still!

But I shall miss her workshop in May, as it clashes with Blaze.

Heidi Groskreutz is back at Twickenham for the next 2 weeks. There will be only 1 hour class and then an extended freestyle

[Dizzy]

I don't know what you are complaining about - this weekend, I would rather be in Scotland with a whole weekend of WCS with 3 different teachers

Hope that you have a good time

Just for you though, the class last night night was great fun but very hard work . Heidi taught us one move where the man had to spin and one move where the woman had to spin on one foot.

Plus Paul Warden did an effective job as demo (as a follow )

Should we be anticipating a significant increase in numbers on a Wed eve at Twickenham in Sep after Paul F's six week beginners WCS course at Clapham on a Tues night?

Bump, bump

Made the long journey down to Twickenham last night and it was made worthwhile by a couple of really excellent dances in the freestyle. I still enjoy this night every time I can get there - challenging intermediate class and though I ducked out to the pub to see the last period of extra time in the football I still got back in time for plenty of enjoyable social dancing.

Thanks for driving Rob Really glad to have finally made it down to the famous Weds @ Twickers. Enjoyable class (esp that beautiful body line Paul W demonstrated:devil & great fun freestyle. Just wish it could have been longer ....even tho' I didn't get home until after 1am as it was .
Best of luck for Cat & Paul in Atlanta.
See you peeps around soon.

I just remembered that John Lindo will be teaching the class at Twick tonight.

I've never met him but he seems so much fun from his JnJ vids. I can't wait !

[Caro]

good to see you back at Twick

I couldn't miss a night where the, ahem, slightly larger than average waistline is de rigeur now could I?

Indeed, you'll fit right in...

[robd]

Indeed, you'll fit right in...

I bet you say that to all the boys.

[Mary]

I bet you say that to all the boys.

Ahem, if I could butt in on all this smut-speak, can I reserve a space on your dance card this evening please?

Went to Twickenham again last night for an unprecedented second week running. I think in some ways it is becoming a victim of its own success - numbers were decent again though not quite at last week's level but this meant that I (and I am sure a lot of others) found the class walkthroughs difficult as there simply wasn't room to move off the slot without impairing the couple next to you. It also meant in some cases e.g left side pass compromising how you would like to do the pattern in order to fit the available space. The social dancefloor was also a wee bit more crowded than I like with lots of collisions/near-collisions going on and given that I wasn't dancing very well anyway it wasn't the most enjoyable night I have had there. Having said all that, it's great that so many people are interested in learning WCS.

On the plus side both Kev/Lory and Paul/Manal provided well delivered, interesting and usable routines for their classes and we were treated to not one but two performances of Cat and Paul's new classic routine which I really enjoyed.

Yes, I agree, its becoming a bit of a squash and got a bit uncomfortable at times. But I was chatting to Cat last night and she said she's going to give it a couple more weeks, to see if the high numbers continue and if so, she'll definitely relocate to a larger venue!

Thank you

and we were treated to not one but two performances of Cat and Paul's new classic routine which I really enjoyed.

and I'm sure they'll do us proud in the USA this weekend! Its the first time they'll be competing against 'the big names'. Woo hoo!
Paul decided to unleash his deadly secret weapon during the class last night, demonstrating how he plans to wipe them all out... but believe me, it had nothing to do with dancing!

[Gerry]

Well done to Kev and Lory on a very interesting and fun beginners class, especially when I was a follower

So did the second room work this last Wednesday?

I have heard that it is getting really really busy now. Someone mentioned a second room to ease the overcrowding. Was it open last week? Did it work?

I want to make it down again but not if it means I can't dance
