I'll probably be starting 2007 at Nantwich tomorrow. If not its stoke next monday.
It's time to work off that Xmas pud! Everywhere seems to be taking a break for the New Year.
I will be dancing at Walsall tomorrow night (can't wait, I'm getting withdrawl) - what about you... where will you be shaking your thang for the first time in 2007?

Knutsford on Wednesday
In the end I went to a Ceroc New Year event (Bromley, Kent) and I don't think I've danced so hard in my life! Certainly sweated more than any gym session has caused! I think I've worked off a whole Christmas pud in advance.
Gotta be Salomons in Tunbridge Wells on Wednesday, if I can still stand!
Belfast on Wed night, then freestyle party on Sat night.
the bar, because I can't remember a worse start to a year.
started the new year off at the ice ball(ceroc metro) on new years day at finchely, diehard forumites everywhere!!!!
So did I.
Absolutely not worth it. It was........ The usual over-crowded London ceroc party, with absolutely no chance of having a dance without sustaining some kind of injury (elbow in head, high heels crunching down on toes, ladies' heads bouncing off you as they are put into dips or drops on a crowded floor by their imbecile dance partners, kicks in the shins..... The usual stuff. )
The venue was pretty awful, too, but maybe I only noticed this as I sat out most of the time, as I didn't want to commit suicide by attempting to dance in that mad, bouncing crowd..... The floor was brilliant, though! Just such a shame you couldn't enjoy it. Oh, and the music wasn't too bad.
One thing I'd like to ask, is: Have most people never ever heard of FLOORCRAFT? It's not acceptable to do things like dips and drops on a crowded floor. Walking across the middle of the dance floor to get from one side to the other is an absolute no-no. Standing in the middle of the floor taking up lots of space, chatting to your friends, when people are desperately trying to find some space to dance is WRONG. Bouncing your partner off all other dancers around you, with no regards to her or other dancers' safety, is BAD! And the list goes on....
Oh, and just because you're a good dancer doesn't mean you own the floor, and don't need to take notice of other dancers, either.... In fact, that sort of behaviour makes you a BAD dancer in my eyes, and I don't wish to dance with people like that.
Rant over.
Happy New Year.
LM
PS - nice to meet some new forunites, though. You're all bonkers!
more addicted than bonkers methinks, on the subject of floorcraft, it`s not easy to develop skills like dancing on a packed dance floor when the said circumstance only happens a few times per year, the floor was clearing by midnight so the last hour was dips,drop and seduces time! happy dancing to y`all.......i`m off to moonglow tonight.......anyone coming???
I'm starting the year off at my regular venue Fleet and then at Hipsters on Friday!
Yipee!
I was at Ice too...ice to meet you little monkey..and trouble..tiggerbabe..freya..rhythmking..and everyone else that I cant remember...sorry!! too drunk!!
Apart from little monkeys rant as above, I had a really good night...I managed to find some space sometimes and I think I managed to not chuck my partners into anyone...I was trying to dodge the masses! Sorry to anyone who i did bump into though and for those of you that trod on me...grrr lol...forgiven!
wicked night...mad one at wittys after...not much sleep had by all ...except me...I kept everyone awake with my snorig so they tell me but I think they are lying!!
Anyways...speak to you soooon peeps xxx
Well i thought Ice was brilliant - i had a great night - lots of dances with some of my fav dancers. I managed not to get trodden on, and dance with lots of new people too!!
it was really good to meet all the forumites too.
Hope to see you all soon
.....Maybe Shenley. Tonight. Anyone else?
Wednesday night at Salomons.
I was at Ice - and you can see my report at http://ceroc.blogspot.com/
Fletch did end up borrowing my wig - and I thought she looked quite alluring with jet black hair. Some of the stories she told me were definitely for the upstairs section.
Yes it was very crowded - and the best time to dance was when everyone piled out to get a cup of tea.
PS And I realise that I must change my name on this forum as it is unpronounceable. Is that possible?
