There is frequent discussion, not altogether ironic, by some of the regulars at Fulham (the favourite venue of certain forumites who have never been there!) as to whether a particular dancer is a deep end or shallow end dancer. If you misjudge your depth, laceration by stiletto and excoriating disapprobation will inevitably follow. Do any of you dare reveal where you are on the spectrum from modest to delusional?

'hot shots' at the front by the stage I presume. :(

I take it that's why we all stand at the back in the corner at Ealing :na:

I might try down the front where 'Orgasmic Mark' stands on Friday (if i'm brave enough) :rolleyes:

I'm not sure about this "stage = good dancer / hotshot" thing anymore, at least not always.

E.g. at Ashtons, I think a lot of the good dancers were probably clustering around Lory and LilyB at the bar end - most of the other good ones (e.g. Latin Ian, Mr LatinLover etc.) seemed to be wandering around throughout.

(I could make a comment about putting distance between us and the music here, but I won't... oops)

And the one and only time I went to Fulham, I was firnly at the back, along with my fellow beginners Franck and Under Par. Hey, we were shy, it wasn't easy to keep up with the standard you know... :whistle:

So maybe it's only true for some venues?

the cluster as you put it, were forumites, meeting up and chatting, does not necessarily follow the best dancers. Silver fox was there for goodness sakes. :D

Ian and LL were only wandering around cos I wasn't there,they must have been lost 'bless' :flower:

Do you think sarcasm is a form of 'hotshotism' :confused:

Well, I don't care about the men - the way I see it, that's your problem. :innocent:

But I don't think there were any major influx of great dancers by the stage on Friday - if there had been, I'd have stayed up there, God knows I hate mingling with you people. :na:

Guess that worked well then :rolleyes:

Blackmail works quite well...grab and don't let go....threats of physical violence.....offers of sexual favours. I'll do anything to get a dance.:whistle:

Damnit, if only I'd held out at the "violent threats" stage... Mind you, offers are one thing, actions another.

The dog 'n' phone incident was funny though!

Deep end, shalllow end?

***, shallow people, pond life. Who gives a t0ss?

Maybe I'm just not good enough to care, but really?! Is the bullies corner of the playground now called the deep end?

Are the best dancers suddenly cr@p if they accidentally hang around the wrong part of the dancefloor?

I'll dance wherever the hell I feel like dancing and if you're feeling brave, you're welcome to try to tell me I'm on the wrong part of the dancefloor. :love:

Well to be fair, I think some / most places do definitely have the "hotshot" area, Hammersmith's famous for it's "no row", and that's usually by the stage.

Ealing (BFF) used to be that way too, but it hasn't been the last few times I went.

Hey, it's not that bad.

It's just that some venues seem to attract hotshottery.

Hmmm, actually, most of them seem to be in Southwest London (Hammersmith, Casbah, Ealing, possibly Fulham and / or Bromley)... Is it something in the water?

I thought I can excuse my incomprehension of the meaning of the thread and any of the poll options with language barrier. But seeing you guys haven't got a clue of what is meant either ... :confused:

:eek: What sort of monster am i likely to turn into?:eek:

Have been to Fulham twice but not for quite a while. Both times i think i was the equivalent of about half-way down the steps in the shallow end if that is any help:confused:

At the moment I doggie paddle in the shallow end but my personal goal is not to be a deep end dancer. I want to go beyond that. How?
Only turn up for the last hour of freestyle, not before. Sit on the stage but do not move. Wait for an obscure blues record to come on then dance for 1min. (max) with a highly selected partner. Get back pn the stage and sit. You're now feeling good because you've shown the masses how it's done. Don't stick around for the last record (totally uncool). Same again next week.

That sitting-on-the-stage thing is pretty naff, isn't it? Why do people do that? :confused:
