1.  Celebratory Party at WCS Wednesdays, Wed 14 May – Swing Diego Success!

 

Over 30 UK WCS dancers attended the 2008 Swing Diego WCS Event in San Diego, California last weekend, coming back with trophies galore all the way from Novice to Advanced Level. A staggering 9 of the 20 finalists in Novice J&J alone were from the UK or France which says a lot about the progress of our own WCS community. Paul & I are very proud of each and every one of our students and friends who took part in the competition. Special congratulations go to the following;

 

Novice Jack & Jill – 93 Couples

2^nd Place – Steven Hunt, London, UK
  with Carron Douglas, Liverpool, England
