Don't know why it's taken me so long to write about this.

My dance weekend in Southport (hosted by jive addiction) was amazing, with by best-ever dances and great music. The atmosphere was buzzing in the latin quarter, the blues room and the main dance hall, with a good range of dancers and dances in each.

The music in the blues room had definite influence from the west coast swing going on, but I loved dancing to pretty much all of it. Our chalet was great once again, and there were many familiar faces from Exeter and elsewhere in the southwest. Somewhere I have photos of Party Nick's 20th celebration at our chalet.

The only disappointing part of the weekend was two of the lessons. The tango (taught by the replacements for Vincent and Flavia) was too crowded and the dips and drops was too late on a sunday afternoon.

Already booked for June and planning on September as well!
