well another Southport has been and gone. And what a blast it was!!!! Got a lift up with MsFab & PaulF - which made for a very amusing journey. Shared with Jo - a lovely girl.
It was lovely to catch up with old friends and make new ones - although several familiar faces were absent.
Was a little worried what it would be like in Feb being winter and all - but the weather gods blessed us with beautiful sunny weather so while cold it wasn't miserable. The blues room deck was enclosed with a marquee and it was difficult for them to get the heating/cooling levels right.
I spent more time in the main room this Southport - which was due to 2 things 1 temperature variation in the blues room and that the main room was much less crowded and hot than in June or Sept.
In addition to all the fabulous freestyling I also undertook 3 workshops with CJ - this combined with freestyling was a trial in consideration of entering the a Chance2Dance comps in Blackpool - it all went well and we decided that we would give it a go!! *GULP*
It was fun doing the workshops with a fixed partner got so much more out of them that way.
My favourite of the day was proberbly the aerial workshop - taught by Yvual Hod he with his partner Gabby (who had flown in on the Saturday to assist as Nathalie was injured) taught one move - initally I was hesitant about how effective such a large aerials class could be but Yuval was absolutely strict about people only progressing as far as they were instructed - and he also made it fun at the same time, a very enganging teacher and dancer.
Have already booked my place for Sept!!!! but sadly will have to miss June as I will still be in Italy following E&P's wedding.
