---------------------------------

I saw Oliver teach a lot at the Rockbottoms WCS weekender in Torquay earlier this year. World class dancer (trophies galore) and really fun teacher. Last time this workshop was run, it was an excellent afternoons fun dancing/learning, and later at the freestyle we were visited by many London dancers as well as dancers travelling from Bristol, Bath, Brighton and all over. Seriously, if you are at all interested in WCS, great day. Not to be missed.

Thanks Steve

On Friday the 4th Olivier Massart is holding a Masterclass followed by a night of WCS freestyle until 1am. Olivier will be there all night dancing his socks off as a warm up to the full days event on Sat.

Quite a few will be tavelling down to make whole weekend of it

For those who want even more freestyle WCS practise...there will be plenty of opportunity in Room 100 at the next 2 Tone Event on 20th Nov.

Since being invited as a member to Global Swing DJs Ian has collected some amazing new music to try out fro both Blues & WCS.

Oliva sponatiously turned up at the London Swinvitational last weekend (all the way from Belgium).

He entered the open Jack & Jill Open competion on the spur of the moment and one the event with Amy Munster with whom he never danced before and they won the event.

Aussies....Amy and her partner Peter are also coming to the Bramshaw weekender as well as other top teachers:

Peter Flood & Eva Rosetter
Melanie Boyle & Ben Stopford
Paul Farrel & Suzi Jones
Paul Harris & Sarve Didar
Kevin Flyn & Heather

You don't even get this many top teachers attending the big weekenders

It is going to be a good one

That is an impressive list of top notch dancers attending.

I feel a little inadequate now

Gulp!..... You think you're feeling inadequate Steve!!!

[Mandy H]

Nicky...you survived last weekends Swingvitational with many UK teachers and a host of US Allstar Pros.

I beleive you were competing with someone else to see who could dance with the most teachers.

The important thing to remember is that these visiting teachers are coming down to support us all because they are enthusiastic about WCS spreading around the UK and they are more than happy to dance with anyone of any level.

Steve, maybe i'll feel brave enough to ask you for a dance next weekend, after a glass or two of Dutch Courage!

very nervous at having that many great dancers there but very excited too, really looking forward to it. If it's as good as the last one that you had then it will be a lovely weekend!!
