The weekend just gone was Warmwell, a dance event of three nights and two days in a holiday park near Dorchester. Possibly my favourite of the weekenders, it was another mass of live bands, great dances and friends old and new. What makes Warmwell special is the large groups of dance friends which come from Newquay, Kent, Essex and other places, giving the whole place a party atmosphere.

Exeter had its fair share of dancers, around twenty of us in all. From Friday night until Monday morning the weekend was a blur of tacky cabaret, frenetic dances, new shoes, weekender virgins, fancy dress, fry-ups, swing bands and the dance competition (won by someone from Exeter, of course!). I'm still buzzing from the whole weekend now, on Tuesday evening.

My only concern is that this makes my ninth dance weekender of the year, with one left to go. Maybe I'm slightly addicted to dancing?

At least I get to feed the addiction again this weekend,  with dance events in Exeter on Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sunday.
