Good points about O'Neills: friendly, biggest and best dancefloor in Cardiff. Space to dance which means that collisions are rare even though some of Cardiff's less controlled dancers go there. (Fortunately, it's also the one night that many of the better dancers go to - particular those who don't want to play dodgems in the Toad.)
John's good with beginners: most of the old guard started with him. I have learnt some good pure Cuban stuff from him, though he tends to teach a mixture of CBL and Cuban. I'm fairly sure, though, that he's a former ballroom dancer and it shows in his teaching: longish sequences and some stuff that wouldn't work with a partner who doesn't know what's coming.
Negatives: some of John's music is terrible, and he does like flashing lights which put some of us right off our dancing.
