How have you changed since you were a fledgeling ?

[Beowulf]

After posting the Thread Resurrection image (http://www.skyfall.co.uk/forum/TRsmall.jpg) on another thread I was thinking about my early days on the forum.

Out of interest I dredged up my very first post on this forum..
2nd-July-2003, 10:05 PM :eek: have I really been here that long??


Erm.. And I'm going with Ceroc with you because?.. Mind you, you're better than I. 1st night and I was busy "inventing" my own moves.. "The cuban necktie", " The Washing line", "The funky elephant" and my favourite "The Push-spin punch in the nose"

I'm only going to make sure he keeps his hands off my partner! <g> :wink:

Ok So I've not been dancing all the time since 2003 (very VERY part time actually) but I've certainly come a long way since then. I'm a much more confident dancer (yeah.. I may not be confident.. but I'm MORE confident that I was, so you can imagine how bad I USED to be ;) ) I still occasionally perform "The cuban necktie", " The Washing line" and/or "The funky elephant" but luckily I've confined "The Push-spin punch in the nose" move to the bin.. My poor nose couldn't handle the pummelling :)

In the following years, I've met some interesting people, some not so interesting people, and seen friends/forumites come and go (some to the forums detriment, others to it's benefit)

Although mind you, after nearly 4 years.. you would think I'd be out of the beginners class by now :wink:

Overall I've learnt a lot from the forum .. will even suggest I've learnt more about dancing in general (other than just moves) from the forum than I've ever done in class.

And :respect: to Franck and Sheena who've had to put up with us lot for all that time :)

Post a link to your first post and tell us how you've changed since you joined the forum (for the better or worse)

I 'm ashamed to say that I have no idea how to post a link to my first post and have no desire to learn (Old Dog - New Tricks)

How have I changed? Well I'm a lot older and I'm now officially an Old Git :what:

Well I acquired a boyfriend... :awe: :D

And I've met lots of lovely people. Not a lot else has changed to be honest, although I hope that my dancing has improved - but then I've not quite completed my first year on here. :wink:

One of my first posts said this


The problem I have is, I always know what I SHOULD OR COULD have done, after the moment has passed! :rolleyes: I get so frustrated with myself! Its rare for a man to give you a little space to 'do ya own thang' that i'm so shocked and I Miss it! ARGGGH :(


I can definitely see more oportunities nowadays and don't get into such a panic or beat myself up as much as I used to back then :nice:

Yes, I could but I can't be @rsed finding it! I think it may have been asking advice about dancing venues for a business trip in Nottingham.

Have I changed since I was a fledgeling?

Probably not - Movement gives the illusion of progress, so does the passage of time.

Ahh, my first post, back before Debbie's relaunch of Ceroc Worcester started, just putting my toe in the Ceroc waters..


I've just joined Ceroc Cheltenham, having learnt "jazz jive" elsewhere. Lots of new stuff to take in - makes me feel like a beginner again. :) I wanted to ask for advice on the best way to deal with the footwork differences.

So I posted asking for some advice on footwork.
Gadget gave some good advice and links.
Andy diverted the thread onto a discussion of smoking.

Nothing's changed, eh?

Think this is mine (http://www.cerocscotland.com/forum/chit-chat/3-if-i-aint-broke-dont-fix.html#post8) posted after Franck changed to this forum from the old one. Not much has changed at all, still reading the previews and dancing in Dundee with new men :rofl: (and posting after midnight :D )

Not only do I have to make a costume for the weekend, I aso have to go through a sex change! Or maybe just growing a 'tash by saturday will be enough....? How did I get talked into dancing as a man in all the classes......???

I thought being a little monkey was bad enough....

Gender confused Little Monkey

Well, the above was my 3rd or 4th post on the forum. Don't think I've changed much since then. I'm still bonkers...... However....


Well I acquired a boyfriend... :awe: :D

And so have I, all thanks to the forum! :D :awe:

Me too. And my dancing might even have improved a bit since 2004 (although I'd already done Ceroc for 3 1/2 years by the time I joined the forum). At least I've taken up WCS since then, and even done my first WCS comp!!
