Yes, wonderful event. I loved every single class I attended this weekend (and I took all I could, only missed one and a half class on Sunday as I was too exhausted by then to wake up early). Great idea to have the title of the classes mentioned before hand, and the fact that it was all flowing and building up from one to the next. Intensive was super interesting.
Social dances was super amazing, best one I had in a very, very long time (messing up my sleeping plans, but so worth it!)

Still feeling the love from the first Westie Boot Camp South. I did not think Hemsby could be beaten but John, Mariane & Team, you have knocked it out the park again! Top class event

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.

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.
