Fav or best leaders/followers

[sergio]

Who are your favourites then.

[Chris]

Errrm . . . Why do you ask?

I only ask that as your question is very similar to your last one about who are the best dancers.

Modern Jive does not have a recognised way of determining the best as does, say, ballroom. We could all do an individual pick-list of favourites, but the problem with such lists is that it makes the people left off feel a bit bad, so many on the forum will avoid doing it.

It might come down to a popularity poll, or more of the fast-track networking that you see a lot of on the Forum. How would that help answer your question though? If you want something approaching an official best, you could run through the lists of winners on the Blackpool UK Open Site (and so on for the other competitions), including the pairs of dancers and those appearing on DWAS, and maybe that would answer your question.

If I were to name my favourites it would be a) people I'm close to (closeness often increases communication which improves the flow of information in the lead-follow) b) people who respond well to my particular style of dancing c) people I regularly get a buzz from dancing with. Some of these would include top names, but some top names would be left out.

[Gary]

Well here's my list (in alphabetical order (feeling suicidal enough answering at all)):

Camille
Cindy
Janet
Kathrine
Siobhan
Tova

There are some other follows (Nicky, Julie, Emily) who are also fabulous but I'm not quite good enough to feel comfortable dancing with them yet.

[Lory]

Before I write my list, I have to say, my list is based purely on who I find
(1) Easiest for ME to follow
(2)who I feel most relaxed with
(3) who I think brings out the best in me i.e. enhances MY style!

Seamus (4 spins!):clap:

Mikey :hug:

Colin Chapman (he sings to me):flower:

Nigel (what more do i need to say):worthy:

Simon and Mark from Bristol! (brilliant fun!)

A guy called Steve from Fulham? (who the hell is he? sadly, only met him a couple of times but we just clicked):confused:

Young Jamie (only 18 and he's brilliant and the nice thing is, he doesn't even know it)

Peter (effortless to dance with, i don't even have to think!)

Will (on a good day:rolleyes: ):D

Jimmy Nipples (married to Chicky, he's great! but together, they are awesome!:wink: we did Mikey's 'Menage a trois'
together):rofl:



That's off the top of my head, i've probably left a load out! oh well!

[Pammy]

No specific order, but bound to get superb dances from the following :-

Tony M.
David B.
Chris A.
Dave H.
Paul F.
Ed.
David F.

and a guy called Steven from Portsmouth who hardly ever goes to Hipsters anymore, but used to be one of my favourites :tears:

Now you have put your head on the block! :blush: he he

As to not quite good enough, I have watched your dancing recently and you look great. :worthy:

Girls I have talked to, give you a huge rap and recon you are a considerate and fab dancer :clap: :clap:

[Bill]

Any woman who makes me feel as though I've just led her through a whole song :wink: :D

[stompin' phil]

Any woman who smiles,laughs or just fafs about (northern expression i think!) whilst dancing and does not take it to seriously.
I don't think you can for entrance fee of £6-£10

Mind you if it's £25 to get in i would want her to do cart wheels!
wipe my brow, do my intermediate moves for me and also have a pint of lager on the table by the time we finish the record...

And for £25, I would want you to Brush my very long hair after each dance, massage my feet, bring me water when ever i clicked my fingers .... Oh and I'd expect you to handstands and do the moves with your feet and not your hands :rofl:

Set myself up for that one I suppose, I do not normally dance with all of the people you dance with,

Would have to agree with Camille and Janet (I would get a bit of a slap if I did not include Janet). Julie asked me to dance tonight and she was heavenly too. Nicky can be fun to dance with to tough tracks, because she plays so well.
I would add Petrina (for fun factor)
From "the other side"
Deanna
Adriana
Debbie
Caz
Tricia
Manly due to the chemistry and fun interpretation aspects.

I'll stick to the Aussie girls as the list would be SO long if I were to include the UK bunch...:worthy:

One more addition, "anyone who asks me" - love being asked.:D

Full marks for persistance.

You would certainly crack it on the "fun interpretation" factor.
Not sure how you would rate on the "chemistry" front :sick:

Forgone conclusion though, or as me NZ friend says "a no brainer" it is sure to happen at some time during my visit...

Still can't put you in my top 10 though:tears:

Look Trampy, if we had chemistry, do you think you would have slept in my lounge?:kiss:

Still happy to dance with you BUT not in my top 10:blush:

Have got my top 3 UK though - the lovely Lory, the oh so fab Lily, and that great dance princess Linda from Scotland :drool:

Opps almost forgot Number 4, got to be Rachel - so loooking forward to dancing with her (late night she tells me is best)

[Rachel]

I'm scared I'll be such a huge disappointment! Having said that, I still can't wait for a dance with you. Yes, very late at night, when I'm exhausted enough and laden with enough alcohol to forget about having inhibitions!
