Thank you John and Mariane Armstrong-Holmes and your team for a fab-u-lous UK Westie Bootcamp South. Stunning venue, incredible teachers, wonderful dancers and loads of fun. This is my favourite event. Can’t wait for the next one.

I have mad respect for the way Europeans in general (and Brits :P) attack wcs! I love how they ask for a second dance... like giving me the benefit of the doubt, the hospitality is always unreal, and I would rarely sit a song. I can't wait to make my way back to the UK!

Gyuri Dorko is feeling challenged .
European Swing Challenge 2018 is an event like no others.
Last weekend, I just had a blast. I remembered that I had a great time the year before, so that’s why I’ve made quite a last minute decision to go there.
The entire event is a big competition with 5 rounds of challenges. So one would think this creates a competitive environment. Surprisingly not at all, it actually creates a social atmosphere during the whole day. People practicing solo routines together, helping and supporting each other. Such a great idea! Fantastic learning experience.
The event has a nice social feeling and not because of late night dancing, but because of dancing on the workshops and comps. I love the WCS community that makes this possible.

The UK WCS Championships is a major event in this environment and after 11 years, it loses nothing of its richness because thanks to its promoter John Armstrong-Holmes, who seeks all the time to renew itself, he proposes to everyone the same thing, to share His passion for WCS.
