Ill stand corrected but when Nigel and Nina taught the shag there were lots or waving the arms in the air and the occassional need for a partner in the more difficult bits ?

There's an Aberdeen party on Saturday that weekend isn't there?

[ducasi]

There's an Aberdeen party on Saturday that weekend isn't there? If it's anything like the Glasgow party that was on during the last Southport, there may be a shortage of quality dancers. :really:

Scratch that – they may be a shortage of dancers – end of. :eek:

I'm planning on going to the movies this weekend coming. Anything good on? :nice:

[JoC]

Scratch that – they may be a shortage of dancers – end of. :eek:Ah, lovely space then!!!

[ducasi]

Ah, lovely space then!!! Clearly you're in a more cheery, optimistic mood than I am. :blush:

Don't worry, I'll snap out of it in a bit. Maybe I should go have a wee snooze... :)

[Jazz_Shoes (Ash)]

Don't worry, I'll snap out of it in a bit. Maybe I should go have a wee snooze... :)

I should probably go too, i'm sure there's a perfectly logical explanation why i'm feeling off balance whilst sitting here typing...amazing what a lack of a sufficient emount of sleep for a week can do eh? :whistle:

[ducasi]

Either that or come and see Read It And Weep play in Edinburgh. :D Can you give us details of this?

[CJ]

Can you give us details of this?

Read It And Weep are playing The Three Tuns on Sat 17th Sept. Doors open all day, free entry and band on at 9-ish.

I know there will be some Cerocers from Edin and from Gla. Anyone else as gutted as I not to be going to Southport are more than welcome to join us...

[Andreas]

How about coming to Scotland for a shag?

I did learn to shag St Louis at some point, or was that St Louis Shag, or shag Louise? Can't remember. Is there a shag Scotland or how do you do that? :rofl:

[CJ]

[Tiggerbabe]

Anyone NOT going to Southport there is definitely a party in Aberdeen on Saturday 17th September :clap: STATION HOTEL 8PM. Lorna will be there, teaching a fun class

[JoC]

Well I'm all sorted for this weekend :clap: . Going to try to catch some rats and demolish the shed they're living under. Anybody want to join me? No? What no-one at all? :confused:

[bigdjiver]

Well I'm all sorted for this weekend :clap: . Going to try to catch some rats and demolish the shed they're living under. Anybody want to join me? No? What no-one at all? :confused:Hmmm ... I've never danced in a shed - One good Rock'n'roll number should do it... bit far to travel for one track though.

[JoC]

Hmmm ... I've never danced in a shed - One good Rock'n'roll number should do it... bit far to travel for one track though.Never though of trying to dance them out of the garden! :rofl:

By the way I'm deeply disappointed you consider this too far to travel for a dance. Mind you if you did we'd have to take turns in the shed because it's quite small.

[Icey]

I'm still trying to decide if I fancy Ashtons or Chesham for tomorrow night. At the moment I am wavering towards Ashtons and ESG with his stickers.

Anyone else have any ides?

[ducasi]

Someone whispered to me that there's some sort of "leroc" event on this weekend here-abouts... What is this "leroc" you speak of??? I didn't realise we had "leroc" 'round these parts. :wink:

[JoC]

I'll be further exploring the dark seedy side of dance on Friday night.

[Minnie M]

Even I have heard of the lovely Billy (http://www.intayrnet.com/leroc/teachers.html) and his LeRoc :worthy: :clap: and I live on the south coast :really:

(BTW he was at Southport in June, not sure if he will be there this weekend tho)

[ducasi]

Even I have heard of the lovely Billy (http://www.intayrnet.com/leroc/teachers.html) and his LeRoc :worthy: :clap: and I live on the south coast :really: OK, I've heard of LeRoc 'round these parts, but reading the forum, you'd think it didn't exist. Anyway, I can't find any evidence of any local LeRoc activity near-by me this weekend, so...

I'll be further exploring the dark seedy side of dance on Friday night. What's this, and where's it happening? :yum:

[doc martin]

Ducasi.

Click on the link posted by Minnie. If you look at the September events, there is a dance on at Pollockshaws Burgh Hall. From your bio it looks like that might be near you.

I've never been to one of these, but as Route 66 is not on this weekend I may be tempted to. If anyone had any info on the venue etc, I would be most grateful.

Martin

[JoC]

What's this, and where's it happening? :yum:
The dance of the devil, taking place up a dark alley in Dundee.

It's not listed here (http://www.intayrnet.com/leroc/03party.html)... But it is here (http://www.intayrnet.com/leroc/05sept.html).

I'll give it some thought...

Cheers!

Should be right up your alley then... :wink:

Do you have further details - such as where and what is on? Any idea who is organising it?

Thanks

OK... It's not listed here (http://www.intayrnet.com/leroc/03party.html)... But it is here (http://www.intayrnet.com/leroc/05sept.html).

:rolleyes: I should have linked to the home page :whistle:

[ducasi]

:rolleyes: I should have linked to the home page :whistle:
No, I don't think that would have helped. They should have updated the page with the out-of-date info.

Either way, no matter. I don't think I'll be going. It's been a tiring week and I need a rest.

Thanks for the link anyway, between the three of us, anyone who is interested in going should now have all the necessary info. :flower:

[Dreadful Scathe]

Mind you if you did we'd have to take turns in the shed because it's quite small.

Perfect opportunity for some UCP moves ;)

Think it might be http://web.onetel.net.uk/~jessnewton/BigLatin_nite.htm
(found it via http://www.wcities.com/en/record/274,277299/41/record.html)

I'm sure I had an email from Jess Newton about it -- sadly not accessible at the moment.

Just heard there's free dancing on the South Bank as part of the Thames Festival, on Saturday and Sunday, 12 noon til 9, including fun classes, but mostly Lindy/Swing /Blues. I gather Nigel Anderson has the 7-9 DJ slot on Sunday.

[JoC]

Perfect opportunity for some UCP moves ;)
Me? And a man? In a shed? Alone??? :eek: (with my repu...etc)

(Also thought Mrs Frisby might invite even more of the family to stay if I played the smooth music required for UCP dancing...)
