I've started going back to Ceroc on a regular basis recently, hoping to make it twice a week.
I was dancing the other night with a friend from when I first started about 6 years ago and I did a move (can't remember which) she said nobody had done for ages - she was quite surprised! We had a quick chat about the moves which don't seem to get taught anymore like first-move-jump, lindy-kick, lindy-jump, catapult and back, etc. Have we both just missed these or have they been dropped somewhere along the line?
I have to admit to coming close to dropping a girl on a couple of occasions during the lindy-kick - both times because they forgot the lean-forward and immediately threw themselves backwards into the kick as I leaned back for my bit - I caught both at the last minute but it was pretty close! :eek: so I can see why this one may have been dropped (pardon the pun :sorry )
The jumps were always good sylish moves providing you didn't do them on a crowded dancefloor where they could be quite dangerous.
My pal introduced me to some new people as "John, who thinks the old moves were the best"
eee...in my day there used to regularly be 25-35 women sitting at the stage at Moray House and dammed grateful they were too for a dance, even if you were sweaty and had two left feet or you were a woman who could dance like a man....mind you it only cost £3.50 in the old money in those days......
:D
