Enjoyed your blog! I thought I’d leave a message here as I don’t suppose anyone’s much interested on the CSF. Your class sounds pretty similar to mine but possibly a touch more advanced. If the ladies say you’re doing good, I expect you are. You probably don’t realise exactly how terrible some leaders can be! Also the Ceroc really does help - I impressed a guy last week because I followed all his complicated pretzelly things but it was only thanks to lots of Ceroc experience.
Re ladies not interested in following - I’ve experienced this on the few occasions I’ve led. Not possible to correct this without an unseemly quarrel, I fear.
I rather like merengue - raunchy, agressive, cheeky and above all easy. Reminds of the two years I spent living in the Republica Dominicana. But it wouldn’t do to say that in front of DavidJames et al! Not sure about bachata, can’t get the footwork sorted.

I’m dead jealous ‘cos I’m not going to the BFG - enjoy yourself.
