Nigel's class

Nigel Maye's class had good and less good points last night. Things I liked: it started with an exhilarating warmup (why doesn't Andy do those any more?). There were some really neat moves. The class picked up where it left off the previous week. Explaining the ladies' footwork.

Things I wasn't so keen on: very little swapping partners. For the women who got stuck with someone who didn't have a clue, this was really frustrating. And he doesn't go into nearly as much detail as Andy on getting the lead right.

Free dancing was the usual mayhem until eleven or so, including people who should know better. Had some nice dances despite struggling with a lingering cough/cold; and got complimented on my lead again - in English this time - by someone who makes it easy to lead precisely.

Sang along with 'Monton de Estrellas' and realised that I can't sing along in Spanish and think of interesting moves at the same time.

Booked my place at Pontins...
