Do you have any dance scars.???

[Trouble]

I had my toes painted on Friday for my weekend in Aberdeen and whilst it was being beautifully frenched the lady asked me why one toenail was white and the other normal in colour. It brought tears to my eyes as i remembered the incident two years ago ...... I was dancing with a beginner who managed to rip my toenail off with his big club foot catching the very tip of my nail whilst he did a forward step. it virtually came right off and bled for a long time, my toe then proceeded to go black and the nail fell off. Unfortunately, it has never grown back the same colour.



so i wondered, do any of you have war wounds from dancing..???

Worst I think was a similar incident - when dancing AT at a practica, my (very tall) partner kept almost landing on my (in open toe tango shoes) foot as we practiced a move. Until, at last, he succeeded in standing on me with his (rather large) foot. I winced, and hobbled on but he drove my nail right into my toe and it took a while to heal and felt odd for ages.

I didn't want him to feel bad, it was a genuine accident, but I've had horses standing on my foot and it wasn't as sore. (Then again I didn't wear high heeled open toed shoes to muck out the stables.)

I have one of those toes too next to the big one on my left foot - still hurts ocassionally too

I twisted my ankle on an uneven stone at Southport in June this year - I am still having problems with that too - hope that won't be a permanent injury

Were you meaning physical or mental?!?

[Lee Bartholomew]

I've suffered a few.


Had a woman badly bruise my foot at Camber by doing a double spin on it.

Also had somone shatter one of my teeth by spinning and elbowing me in the face.

Only mental scars Trouble

I have a scar down my shin where a lady wearing stilletos on a packed dance floor scraped her heel right down my shin and drew blood

Why did she have pens on the dance floor? How come you were standing still long enough for her to draw on you? Did'nt you say something?

I've definitely lost several thousand hairs over the years on various bits of clothing and jewellery, in fact, I'm amazed I'm not bald

That's what happens at Ceroc Royston Vasey*. Pauline the taxi's way of pointing out what you're doing wrong.

On topic, somehow managed to have three different pairs of glasses knocked off, and all survived. Beyond that no injuries to speak of.

*Ceroc Royston Vasey - I can just imagine it...

One of my reg venues has at least 4 lookalike of characters off League of gentlemen. Do you know how hard it is to dance with Tubbs?

Of course not - she only dances at her local venue, and it's for local people.

I have a whole 'Lory' wig if you want some back

Was waiting for andy to post that .

She must have been good though as she double spinned on a non-flat surface and didn't even wobble. My white shoes wern't very white after that.

I have no dance-related (physical) scars, and I really don't want any - if only because my collection of non-dance-related ones is far too extensive, and apparently still growing...

[Trouble]

i was talking physical but do share any mental ones.....

[straycat]
