Does Any one who goes to Thursday class in 'O' Donoghues think for the past 3 weeks the music has been a bit sluggish and slow?

Had to ask the DJ last night to put on some dancier music, I think I got 2 dance songs,

I would like to hear a bit more up to date music, like stuff that's in the charts you can dance to.

Slow music you can't even dance normal to never mind ceroc to, or is that just me?

Think we need to get rid of the DJ and get Franck in with his Playlists :wink:
either that or volunteer to be a ceroc DJ myself ... hehehe

Hmmm what a thought?!! LOL
My Boyfriend would refuse to dance with a male.

I made him be the lady last night so i could try and lead him to show him what he was meant to be doing, he said it was too weird, he could not be a lady,

Talking of "things you never hear at a Ceroc^H^H^H^H^H Modern Jive night":
when was the last time you heard some decent rock'n'roll --- some Bill Haley, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, etc? There's a reason it's called jive!

Got a request played last week for "Chantily Lace" (Big Bopper) and half the floor walked off.

Is it that no one teaches dancing to fast music, is it the pernicious rise of swing and blues, or is it that the average age attending now means that the musical tempo has to be ground right down.

Unabashed speed freak!
Neil.

44 bars per minute, or it doesn't hit that jive, Jack!

you also need good technique to dance fast. although i hear more complaints about slow music than fast music. a lot of beginners just don't like it or don't know how to dance to it.

Well thank you TT:hug: We do play a fair bit of this type of stuff, but recently we have tried to keep the music at a reasonable pace for most of the time, and I've started doing a wee smoooooth set at the end of the night as a wee wind down session. must admit i used to struggle a bit with the slower stuff, but have got more in to it recently, even more so since adam & Mandy's workshop:waycool:

Do you go to Peterculter on Tuesday nights too?

Cos in 3 more weeks time, I'll be taking over the DJing there.

And I'm more than happy with playing requests, as well as trying to get a good variety of music all night.

PM me with some of your favourites (this applies to anyone who goes there), and I'll try to make sure that I have them, and that I play them :D

Bit shy Ms. Salsa Angel are you not? I might be wrong, but by what you've said I gather the music has not been up to your personal taste. I forgot that Thursday nites at O'Donoghues are "The Salsa Angel Nite of Happy Hardcore". I'll remember to bring my glow sticks and whistles next Thursday, along with a few non-prescription go-go pills to keep me awake for the marathon three hours.

Had to ask the DJ last night to put on some dancier music, I think I got 2 dance songs
Not bad for one person out of 80! If everyone got two songs, I'd be playing approx. 160 songs a nite.

Think we need to get rid of the DJ
Maybe a name change to Salsa (It's My Party And I'll Cry If I Want To) Angel. Bit long but I think it may catch on.
You're right though, there hasn't been a lot of dance music recently. Ask any of the regulars and they'll tell you that in the past there has been nites where there has been more dance music than anything else, just as at the moment there has been other types of music instead. Two reasons:
1) The current dance songs in my collection are overplayed.
2) There is a lack of good dance tunes in the charts at the moment. The kind of dance tunes I mean are ones that I think have a funky and feelgood element to them and not the ones designed to keep clubbers in a trance-like state for a couple of hours. I'm sure most Cerocers would agree.
I have nothing against playing requests, but just because a song is requested does not mean it must get played. There is everyone else to consider and therefore unpopular decisions are made sometimes. All DJ's are aware that they won't make friends with everyone on the dancefloor. At least I know where you stand!
This kind of thread pops up every now and then, and for a short while we have a DJ's versus Cerocers argument. It's pointless. In fact this whole spiel is pointless and I've wasted quite a while on it, so to all regulars and occasional visitors to O'Donoghues please keep the feedback coming, it honestly is invaluable, but there are better ways to get the message through to me (and other DJ's). Thanks for reading.

Adrian.

SalsaAngel's post suggests to me she likes variety, that she has patience and that despite her opinion that "the past 3 weeks the music has been a bit sluggish and slow" she still likes to go there. She asks for 2 songs with the same expectation as everyone else that you'l play them or not and you respond with a post that'll make you a candidate for Ceroc Forums most sarcastic git of 2003. And its only June :).

You seem to be treating a simple comment as a personal insult :D. Wooaaah!

On another note - can you play only SClub and Sophie Ellis Bextor tracks next week? thanks ;)

I was a regular, but I got a bit tired of "combat dancing" and when my spex went flying to shatter on the cobbles I decided enough was enough.

This reminded me - I usually wear my lenses at party nights and glasses for classes (too stingy to wear them 24 / 7)and have had men at classes ask me why I never go to party nights cos they've never seen me there!! I always put it down to the glasses thing but I wouldn't have ever said mine are particularly noticable!

Anyone else ever experienced this ??

PS I had danced with at least two of the men several times at various parties!!!:D

Bill
1st-July-2003, 03:25 PM
Is someone suggesting there are too many slowish songs being played :confused: :rolleyes: .................surely not !!!

I was actually thinking that there have been some really good tracks recently and what bores me are too many 'standards' from the 60's and 70's ! But these are the very tracks I would have loved to when I started because the beat is obvious and often 'bouncy'.

I could dance all night to the tracks Adam played at his workshop and from the comments from the weekend there are many more converts to the 'bluesy' tracks. But as many have said in a number of threads - the DJ has to cater for all tastes and while some dancers want Chuck Berry or Elvis others ( who might be happy with some of these) would like Eva Cassidy or Lisa Ekhdal.

Variety is the spice of life

This is also what I thought of - Chickie, I suspect you do spend more time on makeup & preening at weekends than during the week, and I must confess I actually didn't recognise you the first time I saw you without your glasses (after having spoken to you when you were wearing them).

Other than the makeup, another thing which can be a factor in this is if you have attractive eyes, as this is less noticeable when wearing glasses.

But I disagree that your post was calming, since you asserted that there was nothing to take offence at in the original post, and Adrian may have felt differently.

just cos a girl is wearing them doesn't mean she has to flash 'em, well at least not at everybody:wink: At the Chalet School we were taught lots of wee tricks for keeping things to ourselves.

But that said I have a confession to make.

I am a fab 10 pin bowler (own ball, shoes, chalk etc) and used to be in a league with a bunch of blokes and they used to make me go anchor because then it would be someone from the other team that would be coming on after me and the hope was he got a bit flustered, no idea if it worked really...but I had some great "bowling" skirts.....

above confession notwithstanding, I think a suitable balance needs to be achieved, particularly at a dance night. Doing it to be in your face with low stockings and a very short skirt would be tacky but weach them up quite high with a longer but perhaps slightly flary skirt that gave the odd glimpse really wouldn't hurt anyone I don't think.

Can't believe I'M putting forward a sensible view here???!!!!!

Very true Rachel and having worn both tights and stockings ( not at the same time obviously, nothing weird about me !) it was much cooler wearing the stockings. :rolleyes:

I may well be down in Northampton again in August rach so I'll keep my eyes open for the girl with the stockings and I'll know who you are................and of course I'll be looking for a man who is writing somehting with a borrowed pen and has several plasters about him :na:

Or you'd be welcome to share a lift with us to Hipsters, if you fancied.

Oh yes, stockings are great, but I don't think I'd dare wear them dancing. (I obviously haven't got your nerve!). Though if other people want to wear them, as Chicklet says, I don't see why the odd glimpse should be anything to worry about. Me - I just stick to the fake tan!

Now what I'd really like to do is start a campaign to liberate us ladies from having to wear bras to dancing. I always feel as if I should wear one for decency's sake, but I'm so flat-chested I don't actually need to. Which is really frustrating! Trying to get a bra to fit under a little dance top is a nightmare, as I think Chicklet said earlier!

I have a slightly different problem!!!!

And would no doubt be chucked out on heath and safety gounds if the decency police didn't get me first!!!

Have you tried the ones with the removable straps, If I'm wearing something with very little sleeve I criss cross them at the back and usually they can't be seen - If there's no option but to be flashing something I have found silver spangly removable straps so they look a bit more deliberate! All of which adds to the list of delights to be found in my bag!!!

Expert ! :eek: I'm flattered Chickie - and there was me thinking I was discrete - obviously been flashing to the wrong sex.

I agree with you Chickie, in general I would say it was necessary (unless it’s bare legs of course) to lengthen the skirt, otherwise it looks very tarty. The only exception to this would be fancy dress, whereby it’s a bit of fun.
But it's definitely healthier and more comfortable to wear stockings. :innocent:

Me too. I once wore a halter neck-low back strappy excuse for a bra (for decency's sake). Everything was going swimmingly until my partner dropped me (I mean DROPPED me on the floor!). A vain attempt to catch me by pulling on my clothes just meant that he unleashed my wobbly bits. Fortunately everyone was concentrating on their own dance and noone saw except him. He was extremely embarrased and I vowed never to wear that bra again......I may still change my mind, but only when the memory of that event doesn't cause my cheeks to flush any more.

Does this mean that suspender belts come with long and short dangly bits to allow variability in stocking height, or are they adjustable?

A vain attempt to catch me by pulling on my clothes just meant that he unleashed my wobbly bits. Fortunately everyone was concentrating on their own dance and noone saw except him. He was extremely embarrased and I vowed never to wear that bra again......I may still change my mind, but only when the memory of that event doesn't cause my cheeks to flush any more. Wouldn't ANY top have come off if someone tried to stop you hitting the floor by pulling on it? I can only assume you now wear something which makes Heather and Linda's chastity belts look flimsy!

Of course he's lying - if Brady's at one end (well, he used to be anyway :wink: ) of the naive and innocent scale, Robert's definitely at the Chicklet end. :devil:

Ahhh Chickie.......the short skirt & stockings "tarty" look does nothing for me ..........but the occasional flash of stocking top......weeeeellll:wink: :yum:

exactly, I have always believed it's what you don't see that adds the allure rather than what you do ??

most interesting thread for a good while - and i enthusiastically agree :). Although as some have pointed out theres some danger for both sides in this - i wonder if Aleks could spin so well if her centre of gravity was dramatically changed by not wearing a bra !! :) things that stick out from a spinning object tend to pull the object of to one side dont they, especially if theyre not strapped down ? :) Also means CJ must struggle to dance in his kilt (as hes surely a true scotsman):what:

I think it's called "centrifugal force" DS....and without a bra Aleks' centre of gravity would be around her waist somewhere:sorry .....can't speak for CJ though:D

You cheeky buggers - I'm only 30!!!!!!!!!!!! Gravity takes hold eventually, but can't throw them over my shoulders yet!!!

DD - you just wait until we dance again - you may find your own cerntre of gravity subtly shifted.......................by my knee!!!!!!!!

:eek: eek slightly misunderstood - DD understood me, your centre of gravity has nothing to do with the droopiness of anything, its how much it projects from the centre of the object trying to spin. In fact it would put your centre of gravity off MORE the higher up the ...er...protrusions happend to be..so if you have a particularly firm pair of erm...extendables...it would indeed badly affect your centre of gravity if they werent held in place to the main body and instead moved of their own accord to shift the centre point..er...ill get my coat.

And I always worried about the size of my derriere affecting my centre of gravity - that's why I always wear heels to push my balance forward.
