I finally decided I’d written all there is to write about my experiences at the Feast – and I think the same is true of other repeat events.

I could write a blog post about the Eastonathon, where I had a wonderful time, but in truth it would remarkably similar to the ones I’ve already written …

My first mention of Eton* was rather brief, but the next was rather longer, and the Septonathon and Etonathon posts were my usual full-length novels. I’d mostly be repeating myself if I wrote another.

*For anyone confused about the names being Eton-based while the events are in Old Windsor, that’s because they used to be in Eton and the names stuck.

All the same, I don’t quite feel I can say absolutely nothing – as if this magical thing hadn’t even happened. So let’s call this a brief note to say if you want to know what it was like, read the previous posts. If you want to see the quality of dancing and floorcraft, see my previous video taster.

Granted, the Saturday afternoon milonga was a little different. There were several thousand people in the room, and even with Eton-level floorcraft, that was … interesting. But the majority of the milongas had what I consider the perfect number of dancers – enough to create a great atmosphere and enable plenty of variety, but with sufficient space to walk.

So, a huge thanks to Charles and Sarah for all their hard work (and delicious cakes, naturally); to the DJs for some absolutely stunning sets; and of course to all the followers for their beautiful dancing.

As for me, it’s a busy time in my tango calendar, so lots more dance to come in the next month – hope all the other organisers do as good a job at matching their decor to my bow ties …
