It\u2019s here to celebrate the great people we have at Lindy Jazz and it\u2019s great to find out more about fellow members.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>\u201cI like the people. I like the atmosphere.

His dad is from Gibraltar and he has 2 cousins who play for their football team. Next year they play Scotland in the European Championships and Nick will be there with his dad cheering them on.<\/p>\n<p>After a brief encounter with dancing in Bristol, Nick joined Lindy Jazz when he relocated to the North East in 2012; being new in town, Nick thought it would be fun and a great way of meeting new people. Thanks to Google\u00a0he found a class that was close to where he lived and we couldn\u2019t be happier that it was us!<\/p>\n<p>His favourite Lindy Jazz memory is of social dancing the first year he went to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dance-at-djam.co.uk\/\">DJam<\/a>. When describing his first real experience of dancing in a crowded place, Nick said he actually felt more comfortable, learned a lot and found it satisfying\u2026 now there\u2019s a commendation for social dancing!<\/p>\n<p>As an advocate for trying new things, Nick says if you\u2019re unsure of coming to Lindy Jazz don\u2019t think about it too much and just try it.\u00a0<em>\u201cThere\u2019s nothing much to lose from trying new things\u2026 It worked well for me\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Nick\u2019s final word was a massive thank you to both Joo-Lee and the team. He thinks having so many people involved is a good thing as it\u2019s nice to be surrounded by supportive people.
