I attended a dancing holiday in Barcelona many years ago, and John & partner were the BEST teachers without a doubt! I danced together with John and his lovely partner (he was leading both of us) in a disco on one of the nights out. I had never done that before, so he only told me when he saw I was a bit nervous:"don't think, just follow" . It was great! But the next dance he included another lady, yes! 3 of us being led by John.! He was giving me a few tips while dancing... It was just amazing! After, some guy asked me how I managed to do that, and I said I didn't do anything! It was John...The best teacher I've ever had. Thanks! 💜💜💜
@@johnthesweeney Hi John! What a nice surprise to find your channel on RUclips! I subscribed, of course . I'm back to Spain for good and I miss modern jive so much. Unfortunately, there aren't any proper classes around , so I'm doing salsa now. I love dancing, so it's okay but not the same. Glad you two are going strong! Take care. 💜 from Spain
I did Ceroc here in Chicago ~ 20 years ago I Loved It. Sigh, I never recovered from our talented, but a bit crazy CEROC dance teacher stop doing this. It's the perfect dance. I got OK at Salsa, but CEROC is better for US middle age British guys. Is there any CEROC in the USA? North or South America? Please contact me directly, I'd like to invest my time and $ in spreading this joy. In case people haven't noticed yet, American men and women are not getting along at all - it's never been worse. Partner dancing is beautiful - most girls, women love to partner dance, with American guys... someone is going to have to make them learn to dance. So mothers, sisters, girl friends, sorority leaders - lets make the men around you learn to dance.
Sadly the US clubs didn't survive. There used to be half a dozen on this list: modernjive.com/USA.html Now there is just one contact and I don't know if she still organises anything. Sorry.
@@johnthesweeney Thanks... sorry, I'm very, very sorry I have to live in this Amurikun country where our people can't dance and have really no social skills besides watching TV, following Amurikun FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL 5 days a week. And our national sport of American Football shouldn't even be called "football". It's a derivative of the British sport of Rugby not Football/Soccer where the players actually kick the ball with their foot. Our stupid sports writers just gave it the wrong name! Typical. Thanks John Jaye Left Behind In Chicago USA where our people can't dance and our office women are mean, no fun and have no romance in their lives.
