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.

UK Westie Bootcamp South You were amazing! It is hard to put in words everything I experienced there... It was pure joy and happiness all week end long. If you are looking for calm, friendly and super social event, this is where you have to go!

I don't normally do these posts after events but thought I would make an exception for this one and give a few shout outs as I didn't get around to doing the envelopes (I will make the effort next year I promise !!!!)
Out of all the weekenders I have done over the past 15 odd years, this one has been by far my fave. Huge thanks to Glenn Ball, John Armstrong-Holmes and the JA team for creating the concept and running this event. The pro shows were off the scale.
Looking forward to next year !!!

Someone asked me on Friday which event is my favourite. I said I don't think I have one. But now I know for sure this event is my favourite (admittedly, I have not been to events every other weekend, but still..). Such a lovely, friendly atmosphere, didn't expect this at all from a competition heavy event. Looking forward to next year already.
European Swing Challenge 2018
What an amazing weekender!! Loved the new venue, the spacious dance areas, fabulous Pro's, truly inspiring teaching and the friendliest hotel staff. I had a brilliant time and some truly amazing dances. Thank you the whole JA team for putting on a great event and helping make it so. Count me in for next year.
