Help with Jive dance classes?
Is this another of those occasions where UK English differs from Canadian English? We are looking for Jive classes in the Ottawa area and are surprised to find none.
We can see classes in East Coast Swing (looks like Charleston), and West Coast Swing (looks similar but again not the same).
What are we missing?
PS. Asked in a store if they had a Cafetiere, blank look. Described it, blank look. Then spotted one and said 'ah, seen one'. Oh! You mean a French press. The mandatory French side of the box called it a Cafetiere Piston - DOH!

Canadian, British and American Spelling
This shows you how to spell like a canadian, or american or british person.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_English (more than you probably ever want to know).
