    The travelling man spin is a good,un. Falling over at the end and taking your partner with you is a bonus. After all, you must be manly if you have women throwing themselves on you.

    You know when people fall over backwards on roller skates and they kick furiously trying to regain their balance?
    Imagine that (without the skates) on a nice dusty dancefloor, arms flailing and everyone else stops to watch the inevitable collapse like a sack of spuds. Like Charlie Chaplin and a bag of marbles!

    Re: Manly Man Spins

    Yeah, the more attention you can bring to your manly man spins the better. This might include :-

    • Shouting "Hey watch this everyone" before you do it.
    • Strutting on to the dance floor John Travolta style then making the man spin your first move.
    • Dropping a smoke bomb as you execute your 12 spins.
    • Running on to the floor during a caberet and stealing the follow to do one.
    • Mooning as you do the spin.
    • Getting the follower to scream.
    • Screaming yourself.
    • Getting everyone else to scream.

    Are you kidding? The man spin is frickin' awesome; there is absolutely no better move to get from left to right hand. Period. Except maybe an Apache Whip, and maybe a couple of others.

    Ah, are you saying that talking about my feelings while doing the spin is where I'm going wrong?

    Just stand there and drink a pint instead?

    I used to do that. Not done it for a good while though!

    Re: Manly Man Spins

    You could try to finish off the move with a manly attitude-filled grunt of "huh" (as in "It's Like That and That's the Way it is, HUH!")

    Re: Manly Man Spins

    I've dispensed with the whole camp-discus-thrower routine and made my move altogether more Scottish hence more manly. When preparing for the spin, bring the arm back and raise it over your head like in a Highland fling! Or, if you are looking for a move with more continental joie de vivre, imagine you are playing castanettes above your head!

    If your limp wrist is above and out of your partner's line of vision then it doesn't exist
