I'd intended to get to the Latin Motion Halloween all-dayer from the start at midday on the Saturday, but had a bit of a lie-in and get there at 2pm, just in time for the lunch break, during which a 'Rhythm and Timing for Dancers' workshop was scheduled. I sat through the whole of the workshop, run by Mauricio Reyes and Richard Sealey, which I thoroughly enjoyed. After that, Inaki Fernandez and Susana Montero had an intermediates Bachata class, which I watched for a bit, then filmed at the end. During this class, I also had a chat with Richard Sealey about his workshop!
Next up was the Tango workshop, again with Inaki and Susana. I didn't fancy taking part, so watched this one as well, filiming again at the end. Said goodbye to a few people, then left to pick Mel and Cat up from the city centre - Mel had been teaching at the Dance Xchange, then went shopping with Cat!
Had a quick Chinese, and planned to leave at 6:30. Stuart had spent the day at Airsoft - like paintball, but a bit more serious!! And it hurts!! He skipped dinner after a day running round getting shot, and rushed round to ours in time for our 6:30pm departure time. We were just starting to get ready at this time.
So, we ended up leaving after 7pm, and got to the venue just in time for Mel to start her class. I took part in this class, after a day spent watching from the sidelines.
 After that, the party began. To help keep up our energy levels (and celebrate Anna's birthday), a table had been filled with plates of fruit, around a large bithday cake :-) Not one to waste any time, Cat appeared with a handful of grapes and strawberries, no doubt preparing for a night of serious dancing!! Then another handful.... and some melon.... and some more!!
The party was kept in full swing by DJ Mike and DJ Mani, and I had a few dances, using the routines i'd learned over the last few weeks.
After a couple of dances, Cat started complaining of having a stitch!! Surprising, that!! So spent some time doing "grape styling" and "the crab" (Don't ask!!!... Well, do actually, next time you see her!).
We ended up leaving the party just after midnight (It had been a heavy day for all of us)... Next stop, the Harlow gig, then New York!!!
