Hi

4 - The Stockport 'lick'
Hi Cronshd, what pray tell is 'the Stockport 'lick' ' ? :confused:

Hi Cronshd, what pray tell is 'the Stockport 'lick' ' ? :confused:

Well - it was just the title I happened to give it (the evening in Stockport)...........I think I was listening to 'The Staunton Lick' by Lemon Jelly (on the album KY) at the time. 'Lick' is a short phrase used by jazz musicians..............as well as some other definitions which you can see at http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lick - but I won't repeat here.

It wasn't referring to any activity that happened during the evening! (At least that I can remember). Although I did get 'licked' in another sense (see the urban dictionary) during the evening:

Dancing with a lady, blond 45(ish)? (I'm crap at guessing ages). Did the standard In-Out, In-Out move 3 times then let go - allowing the lady to push you with her hands in the chest. Well, instead of this, she did a double face slap - a bit like Morecambe and Wise used to do.
"That's a new one!" I said
"Yeah - I'm an Aries - that means I'm dangerous"
"Ok - well I'm a Taurus"
"You're stubborn then"
"Yes and I always get even with Aries"

Well we laughed a bit and I was working out how I could even this out in an urbane kind of way.........then the music just ended before I could..............so next time!

:respect: :respect: to the 45ish lady. I vote this should be a standard part of the move from now on.

Ummmm. Remind me not to do that move with you tonight then (assuming you're coming to Daventry!) :yum:

I think you could possibly manage to dredge up one or two more interesting things from your repertoire.:worthy:

Mine has to be at the ceroc champs competing and my partners boob popping out...for those of you who know me...you know I always like to please the crowd...or at least half of them!! LOL!! :D

Mine has to be at the ceroc champs competing and my partners boob popping out...
So that moment beat taking the trophy then? :whistle:
The champs has to be one of my many highlights too, not for a single moment, but due to going as far as the DWAS semis with a lovely, very nervous, and overly modest, lady with about a year's experience of dancing. Despite her continuing modesty, it was great to see her enjoyment & boost to her self confidence.
And going back to Alex's boob, I'm afraid it pleased 50% of the audience minus 1, I was there, I was watching, but didn't spot a thing apart from a slight hesitation, why am I always at the wrong angle? :sad:

Top 10?!?!?!?!?????

Not a chance...

Top 3:

3) Teaching first attitude/style class:eek:
2) Watching the penny drop and being able to share in the moment when the first Musicality II W/shop guys got the concepts of dancing to instruments, and not the beat: thus bring them back into their (hugely expanded) comfort zone, but with new info under their belts.:D
1) approx 70 minutes, possibly 16 tunes, one dance.:awe: :tears: :flower: :worthy:
