Had a wonderful weekend celebrating '10 Years On The Road' with Maggie - And thanks so much to everyone that came to make it such a special weekend.

The highlights for me was the awesome show from Maggie's Celtica during our Irish Party Friday evening - A night with our long time friends Diamond Jack on Saturday evening - And specially for me from the DJ Booth a special one-off spot from my marra Tim Ruzgar, who came out of retirement for just one time to do his classic Sunday morning session for us - That was special & the crowd loved it - Special thanks to Tim for doing that for Maggie ------ One of many 'Maggie in tear' moments !!! :-) - Not least when Steve & Betty gave some very kind words when giving Maggie her presents - It was also great that Rob could call in on the Friday evening, long time friends of course, but it was Rob who set Maggie on the road in Liverpool back in 1999 - Also Barbara who has looked after Maggie on the road for all of those 10 busy years - Chrissie & Daniel made it too who have worked with Maggie lots for many years - And we had a lovely message from Roy Verdonk, a dear friend of Maggie who unavoidably could not be there. 

A personal thanks to our very good friends Dee, Shaz, Craig, Alan & Andrew, who were all by our side before & during the weekend - We could not have done it without them - Would not have done it without them - These guys are true friends to us, not just dancing colleagues - Likewise to Maggie's regular team of helpers, especially Keeley, Gwen & Maxine, Maggie's 'right & left' arms' !! :-) ........... It's an honour & great fun to work with Maggie & long may it continue.

Maggie taught loads during the workshops, including a new Irish one on the Friday evening called Jig It Up '09 - This was a hit needless to say in a room full of MaggieG fans !! :-) .......... It's a new dance to Maggie's first ever track - To the dance Line Up & Jig which never took off - That was a cool idea !! :-) The two big hits though were her new intermediate pop ones Argentina & Just Dance Away - If you like J Ho you'll love Argentina - If you like Headphones you'll love Just Dance Away - Maggie did Got Me Breathless too which is another cool pop one, a fast Azer-Bai-Jan sort of thing by the look of it. 

Andrew was a huge help to me DJ'ing, but he also taught a lovely new one called MG Cha Cha, written especially for the event - A really cool cha cha to check out - And great to see Andrew & Sheila's In Control & Time To Swing filling the floor too ........... Alan Birchall, a long time regular on the Maggie G Experience Team also taught a cool new one called Open Your Heart (M People), a fast, cool Human Dance sort of dance - And Human Dancer/No More Cloudy Days still filling the floor - Lots of his classics too of course ............. Craig had a big hit with his latest Evacuate The Dancefloor - If you enjoyed Poker Face check this out - My class loved it last week - You'll love this in Florida next weekend at Guyton's birthday bash - Have an awesome weekend - We are really disappointed we can't make it but wish our good friend Guyton all the best & are looking forward to Leeds. 

In social dancing we did everything !!! Personally for me it was great to see Dee's Release Me/Hush Hush/Spotlight going so well - And even though it was a more 'mainstream' MaggieG wekend, loads up too with Shaz doing Magic/Beautiful/Thrill Chasin' - Roomba, Jesse James, Senseless Cha & Coochie Bang Bang were noticably huge too !! :-) --------- And more are joining in with Siste Kate too - Love it - Have I already mentioned that !! :-) .............. We did all the hits & all the classics - I'll not bore you with the obvious !! :-) Not least way too many MaggieG dances to mention !!! ............ PS. Just wish more would do Ease On Down - It's a great dance - Huge in the US but not here in the UK yet - Come on Brits !!! :-)

I'm off to learn Argentina & Just Dance Away to teach this week - Great dances - Also Dee's lovely new West Coast Daylight - This was planned for Sunday morning but with so much going on we ran out of time !!! - So was Shaz's latest hit Thrill Chasin' but loads doing it anyway :-) .......... All the guys on this weekend are working with Maggie at events during 2009/10 - Check them out.
