Re: Modern Jive Hall of Fame
I suggest that we use this thread as the index to the hall of fame. If anyone thinks an individual should be included in the Hall they can simply start a thread about that person in the same was as I have done for Mssrs Cronin and Austin. It would be useful if that person could put a link to that thread on this thread so it can be used as an index.
The other suggestion I have it that the threads about individuals should be just that: no debate about people other than the person the thread is dedicated to. Any other debate about the hall of fame could be placed here.
So far the index has the following;
Robert Austin
James Cronin
There's loads more people I think should be included but I thought I'd give some of the work to willing volunteers :whistle:
Re: Modern Jive Hall of Fame
James Cronin
Robert Austin
Stevie Wong
Re: Modern Jive Hall of Fame
Re: Modern Jive Hall of Fame
If you include Steve Wong - you MUST include Andy McGregor
........ sorry but he really should be there :worthy:
He has put fun and contraversy into Modern Jive - his double trouble threesomes, and cross dressing - no one else has ever dared to go there. You may love him or hate him, but there is no denying he deserves a place in the Hall of Fame :worthy: :yeah: :flower:
Re: Modern Jive Hall of Fame
We could do with some criteria, but nominating people, and stating why, might be the best way towards forming ideas on what the criteria should be.
John Sweeney with his workshops, listings, and www.modernjive.com website has some sort of claim.
Phil Roberts, Michaela and Emma have done a considerable job with the Central Franchise, and, usually quietly, pushed the boundaries forward.
Franck, with this forum, might be making now a huge contribution in ways that mostly cannot all be measured.
Re: Modern Jive Hall of Fame
I think BigDJiver has got a point. Anybody can start a thread putting someone in the Hall of Fame. But I think they should start the thread with some point(s) that justify that persons inclusion in the hall. For example, you could nominate John Sweeny for making Double Trouble into a recognised dance and competition category. Then somebody else who knows something else about John could add that piece of information to the thread.

:yeah: This is an excellent forum. Without it, I might not still be dancing, wouldn't have travelled to weekenders - therefore - there might not be much happening here in NI, but without this forum there wouldn't be anything!
