    Im sure something will be on but wherever you go, i'll be following, removing blunt spoons and forks from my head for the evening....

    My first day for 2007 dancing was spent at Ice last night, Whetstone or whatever its called. Must say found the whole thing a bit of a nightmare, floor was packed to the hilt and extremely uncomfortable.

    Highlights of the night though were meeting Tor (Dai) and centralex amongst a load of new forumites that i have not met before. It was lovely to put some faces to the names but i must say, I was treated by Tor with the best female lead i ever had and that is no exageration. Made my night and she says she is shy to ask women PLEASE DONT BE, YOUR DEPRIVING THEM OF A FANTASTIC DANCE....

    I also had the great opportunity of danicng with Alex, which i must say was lovely. (thanks Becs for the intro's again)

    Hope to see you all again soon.xxx

    I spent the first 90 minutes of 2007 at Berko. Fab.

    Tonight I'll be at Kensington Dance Studio for a ballroom and latin class, followed by the freestyle at Wessex House, Battersea. All this is a warm up for the best of all the regular nights, Fulham on Thursday.

    So how come the former taxi at that venue that I danced with told me she doesn't go there any more, because it is always so crowded? Anyway I don't think you need a packed venue in order to develop the skill of looking where you're sending your partner before you lead her there, or checking behind before you step back.

    A bit further afield, but I'm sure there'll be plenty of dance space at Oxford that night, where Jive+ are running a night with 2 rooms, Nigel DJing in the main room, and me in the "blues/WCS/latin/whatever the crowd that turns up wants" room!

    Hmmm, if it's anything like Aylesbury a couple of months ago, it'll be weirdo fast lindy music all night...

    Did you ask for any requests David? The DJs sometimes play them

    Not if Sheepy's djing...........

    Oh, and thanks to all the people who have given me rep for my big rant lately. Unfortunately I only know who one of you are, as only one person signed their rep comments! I'm glad there's lots of you who thought ICE wasn't very good, and agree with me on the lack of floorcraft.

    ...probably not until Sunday the 14th at Pudsey (will be in Leeds for the weekend anyway)...unless I get withdrawal symptoms this weekend. Then on the 27th there are too many choices, including Swinging the Blues in Chiswick and Funky Lush at Hatfield....

    Am I the only one who's not danced yet in 2007?

    I think I do. If there's lots of space, nobody will be behind me when I step back. If there's lots of space it's easy to lead my partner away from other dancers. If there's lots of space I never need to learn to dance small. If there's lots of space I won't be consciously thinking about floorcraft (probably consciously thinking about leading, or music, or my partner instead).
