New Year DANCE Resolutions

[Minnie M]

Are you making any dance related resolutions for 2007 ?

1. I would like to learn 'smooth' lindy properly (looking forward to Blaze)
2. To ask more men to dance

[Caro]

1. I will never again ask for an assignment in a country where there's no partner dancing available. Almost died of withdrawal symptoms

2. When back in Aberdeen, will attend the tango classes more regularly

3. Will make one trip to a major WCS comp in the US (New York in June anybody? ) (needless to say that'll be just to watch the comp)

4. Will give a go to lindy , blaze for a start and probably the sea sun and swing camp in France in the summer

Open to suggestions, but currently:

1. To get round to seeing what I look like on video and thus start fixing the stuff I don't know about.

2. To do the local dance course that promises to teach me Argentine Tango in six easy lessons.

To ask more men to dance

Always.

1. To get round to seeing what I look like on video and thus start fixing the stuff I don't know about.

Sounds like a good idea. Scary, but helpful I guess.

2. To do the local dance course that promises to teach me Argentine Tango in six easy lessons.

Ah, misprint on their info I suspect. They meant six difficult years. Well, to get the basics anyway.

On that note
- To make some progress with AT and not get frustrated at lack of progress or lack of dancing/lesson options.

And
- To maybe get beyond 'lesson one' of WCS somehow
- To aim to have a few more regular dance partners so that we can work on different aspects

Finally - not strictly a 'resolution' but I guess it would be good to have one thing on the list that I know I will definitely be able to look back at the end of the year and say 'I achieved that' -

- To get a new pair of dance shoes.

I think my New Year Dance resolution has to be to actually get out dancing more! Since starting my new job I have been rubbish and as a result my dancing has not got any better (probably worse) and I haven't seen very much of my friends!

2. To do the local dance course that promises to teach me Argentine Tango in six easy lessons.

Fantastic, can I come along too?

[jivecat]

1.Appreciate the small pleasures of partner dancing and be continually delighted rather than hanker for the perfect dance experience and be continually disappointed.

2.Buy some proper tango shoes.

3.Go to the Tango Tangk just to check it out.

3.Make a serious effort to learn WCS.

4.Find a WCS practice partner.

4.Go dancing at least once a week and dance with five complete strangers each time.

5.Don't ask people to dance who never ask me back.

6.Seek out people who I know enjoy dancing with me and make them happy.

7.Finally sort out that arm-styling thing.

8.Buy some low-heeled, soft dance shoes.

9.Dance fearlessly.

10.Stop wearing black.

Just remind me of these in approx 365 days time, please.

Well I make a point of not making new years resolutions, because if I want to do something or change my life in some way, I'll do it at the most appropriate time for me.

However, I have recently decided that I'm going to give Argentine Tango a go next year.

Wish me luck, it's my first attempt at "real" dancing.

[dave the scaffolder]

must try Argentinian Tango

[JiveLad]

I resolve to:

- go to Stockport again
- dance with at least 5 forumites (excluding Fletch)
- try Blackcurrant Tango

[tiger]

Why excluding Fletch,what has he/she done?

[JiveLad]

Why excluding Fletch,what has he/she done?

She's already danced with me (and very enjoyable it was)! She's the only forumite I have danced with (at least that I know of).

Maybe I should have said 5 new forumites - I realise now it looks like I don't want to dance with her - and of course the opposite is true!.

PS You can read the encounter with Fletch on my (mildly entertaining) blog at http://ceroc.blogspot.com/2006/11/st...vignettes.html

so do I look like a man

[Mr Cool]

so do I look like a man

Fletch do you really have to ask your the quintessential woman
and superb dancer
save me a dance or two always

[Double Trouble]

so do I look like a man

With those t*ts? Are you kidding?

[Andy McGregor]

so do I look like a man

Fletch is far too scary to be a guy...

[StokeBloke]

My resolution for 2007 is to leave the shelter and safety of Midlands Ceroc and venture out into the big bad world, where Ceroc meets WWF wrestling. Where dancers regularly refuse each other dances, twist and yank each other's arms, come home with bruises, broken jaws or broken backs!

Sounds delightful... maybe I'll give it a go next month... or maybe the month after that... or... maybe I'll stick to Stoke, Stafford, Burton, Wolverhampton, Walsall and The J11 Club until my BUPA membership comes through

Seriously, I am going to try and venture further afield in 2007 - see you on the dance floor

[Dai]

so do I look like a man

No sweetheart - how could you even ask such a thing???

Resolutions -

1. ask more women to dance - (ones i don't know)
2. learn to follow
3. gain more confidence in dancing blues

[rubyred]

My resolutions so far are:

1. to retart lessons in Agentinian Tango.
2. to become more proficient in ballroom and latin.
3. to go to more ceroc/mj venues outside my local area.
