November 2017 Newsletter

We have nearly completed a year of Workshops with Mike Rosa teaching us his Step by Step WCS Workshops and Westies in Essex have been running workshops for 4 years now, where does the time go! I’m delighted to see our group of dancers develop as WCS Dancers and spread their wings to other groups and WCS experiences too. That’s what it is all about, getting out there. I’m also delighted to see month on month new people join our group and I hope so we can grow the WCS love in Essex we hope you will encourage your friends to come along too at some point.

Our chilled intimate WCS dance weekend at 5* Potters Resort in Norfolk 18th to 21st May 2018 is selling well and we do have a limit of numbers of people we can take, so if you are thinking about it why not get booked on now. It’s FULL BOARD, comprehensive levels of workshops for all levels, a full programme of dance and social dancing included, as well as the Potters entertainment and activities and dance classes too. Two/three night options available.

This is a great opportunity to learn and enhance your WCS skills from some brilliant teachers at an excellent venue which also offers some fantastic facilities and entertainment. Not your typical weekender, but a smaller, intimate and fun event!” Alan

“intimate WCS weekender set in potters holiday camp. Great WCS teachers, full board menu and time to also enjoy Potters entertainment and facilities. Overall a fun weekend.”

“Potters Weekend is a great mix of social fun, excellent workshops, very nice accommodation and all the food you could ever want. The live shows very much exceeded any expectations and I enjoyed them thoroughly. Janice and Jez are a super combination!” Michelle
My first WCS weekender at Potters was very enjoyable to say the least. The dance classes are taught from beginners to intermediate plus level. It was all very chilled with a nice variety of lessons with exceptional teachers. A show is also put on each evening from the Potters own dancers, which is highly entertaining. The people who attended were very friendly, made you feel very welcome, & were all of mixed dancing abilities. You had a chance at meal times to mix & match if you chose to with exceptionally lovely food. In all it was a fab weekend, highly recommended in fact I am down to attend 2018!!"

"Westies wcs weekend at Potters is the perfect blend of lessons with fantastic teachers, Social dancing with wonderful people, not forgetting Potters own theatre company shows !! Roll on May" Dave Reynolds

“Excellent location for a WCS event, good selection of teachers, with plenty of lessons for all abilities. Potters is ideal if your partner or friends don't dance as the venue is host to a long list of additional activities, excellent food, 4 meals a day and great shows with a live band. All in all a great event not to be missed.” John Gordon
