    Did you want a sleazy one?

    I'm still wondering why they are sleazy?

    They had a great one in Bristol
    Were they guy was blindfolded and he had to guess who he was dancing with
    All went well until he failed to recognise his wife


    I think they are great at a small class, were we all know each other. but I would not like one at a big event

    I didn't say they were sleazy, don't blame me for Spin Dryer's comments. I don't have my hand up his @rse working his strings you know, well, not all the time anyway.

    You're not making yourself any more attractive as a dance partner you know

    I'd want to see evidence of disinfectant use before ever dancing with you again!

    Think about dancing being the vertical representation of the horizontal and you should be enlightened.

    I think Birthday dances are good fun. When the Charlton venue was open we always done something for peoples birthday Kelly always came up with fun ways of going into freestyle so as the Birthday Boy/Girl had their birthday dance and we also done cake

    Yeah, thanks for that. That never occurred to me before. Huh.

    Seriously, why are birthday dances especially sleazy, compared to, well, dances in general? I honestly don't get it?

    Using that analogy, are you suggesting that because birthday dances are with loads of people, it's sending off "promiscuity" signals?

    Or am I thinking about this way too much?

    Don't get it.

    In fact I don't get any of it. Maybe I'm too innocent.. all that stuff about the balcony at Ashtons and what people get up to at weekenders... where am I when all this is going on?

    Sulking now.

    Re: Birthday Dances - For or Against?

    Surely a dance is only sleazy if one or both of the people dancing are being sleazy? It has little or nothing to do with the setting.
    "Sorry if I was a bit sleazy, not my fault it was a birthday dance"?????

    Don't worry about the weekender and balcony rumours Juju. It's just a few shameful individuals trying to make themselves feel better by pretending that it's what everyone does!

    Re: Birthday Dances - For or Against?

    Witnessed a leaving dance last week. Was told that its done also for birthdays. Looked alright, whether or not i'd be up for taking part or be under the spotlight is another matter....
