Sounds like you're lucky - your school gives you advance notice of this kind of stuff. I normally find out when hardly anyone turns up for the lesson. Then I go and see the head of department and he also has to do some frantic asking around before he is able to tell me the students 'have activities'. Thailand you've gotta love it.

The school doesn't tell me much of anything. I get my information from one of the Thai English teachers I have made friends with.

I remember the first time I showed my students the basic swing step and they were able to follow, they broke out in spontaneous applause. When I paired students up for partner dancing, there was that collective, 'Oiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii' response, but they loved it. I did, too.

Guy, I love you for sharing this. I am so glad I waited to see all your sides

Thanks for all the tips, guys!

I hope someone noticed that I did my first multiple quote
