    Daventry floor

    I'm planning to go to Daventry on Saturday. I have a ridiculous amount of clothes - but I haven't got a thing to wear!!! Which means I might end up wearing the trusty old trainers again... glamorous, huh?

    However, the floor at the Derby freestyle last weekend didn't agree with them at all.

    Simple question then - what's the floor like at Daventry? Will I live to regret my sartorial decisons if I wear the trainers? Or is the floor so good that I can wear what I like?

    The main room is the main leisure centre sports hall. The Blues Room is in a proper function room. Both floors aren't too bad.

    But the painted lines marking out football/badminton court areas in the main room can sometimes be slippy

    Ta. Slippy's not the problem; I was sticking to the floor at Derby.

    Regarding the floor at Daventry should be no problem, as I have always found it lovely to do your spins and twirls. I agree with you about last saturday in Derby the floor was rough and I brought two pairs of shoes. So have fun on saturday

    I find the Blues room floor at Daventry quite slippery. Bring several pairs of shoes anyway, just in case!

    The floor in the main sports hall I always find is wickedly spinny...the floor in the blues room is OK...it can be sticky in come places but most people take talc just in case...

    If I was you...I would bring a couple of pairs of different shoes so you can try it out and change if necessary!

    See you there

    Thanks for your help everybody.

    I have considered bringing extra shoes, might do that.

    Dressing for dancing is always a pain in the butt, I find. So many different criteria to address! Cue three days and nights of stressing, followed by ten minutes of throwing together a third rate outfit, before heading out into the night. And if anyone is interested in meeting me there - I'll be the one looking like a tramp.

    Re: Daventry floor

    Yeah - it is pretty much like Alex said. The main room is only used for the Dav. freestyles the last of which was some months ago so I cannot comment on its current state. The Blues room floor has been very sticky of late but is slowly getting better - on Monday night it was half way back to being decent again but still a little sticky around the edges. Suggest bringing a couple of pairs of shoes if you have them - and don't forget the talc.

    third rate outfit you can throw things together on a budget

    OK it does depend on your budget but mix and match works well

    tramp is good if thats the look you were going for

    So will that be tramp as in vagrant


    or



    Tramp as in loose woman

    Juju you had better watch out, I understand they are putting dogs on the doors as some venues, i hope you only look like a vagrant and don't smell like one, or you could find yourself as a right dogs dinner.

    Looks I might not even get to see the Daventry floor now, as my dodgy shoulder went *crunch* again this evening. The pain was excrutiating.

    So no dancing tonight, possibly no dancing on Saturday ; last time this happened (in the Spring) I didn't dance for about six weeks....
