The Woodface "I won a trophy, you know" thread

[Martin]

Got any youtube clips to give me some idea of your dancing skills?

Hey I am really not that good to be on the web

However it would be great to push the boundries of triples, for the fun of it.
I have a workshop coming up near Sydney where I am teaching beginner triples and then advanced triples on the 30th June, it has been fun practicing for it and making up new moves for the advanced workshop.

If you want to see a clip of me dancing triples, have a look at the Ceroc UK 2004 champs vid. I am sure someone can lend it to you, if you do not have a copy.

Don't push it Woodface, Martin is one of our best exports, if not THE best and he is technically brilliant.

BTW most of the great UK MJ dancers do not wish to be put on public display

Anyone who can get 'ME' to do a cartwheel over their knees, has to be pretty amazing...

Martin, that's one i'll never forget!

Not wanting to be disrespectful, but IMHO the general standard of triples/teams/showcases in the UK would rank as intermediate in Aussie.

A perfect score for Superheros at Blackpool in 2006 suggests the teams aren't THAT bad

I'm sure you weren't being terribly serious,, but as far as I can tell, scores at Blackpool are based on where each judge places you relative to the other teams. So a perfect score just means the judges all agreed you were the best. But you can't tell if that means "best of a bad lot" or "best of an outstanding competition".

To be honest, I think the judging criteria for this category are sufficiently different between the UK and Australia that you can't really compare. Very like the Mary Poppins / Jango debate...

Indeed, but a blanket "intermediates the lot of you" leveled at all uk triples , showcases and teams seems worth commenting on with at least some feeble post.

I thought the scoring must be something like that, as there is no way the superheros were perfect. Great legs though

The guy that scored a hat trick at The Champs, Simon Rich, are he and Simon r forumite, one and the same, or different guys?

I was not trying to put anyone under a blanket!!

My referernce was to the "general standard" displayed in comps in these catogories. There are of course always noteable exceptions.

as Minnie M said "most of the great UK MJ dancers do not wish to be put on public display "

Talking of noteable exceptions - watch out for Amy and Peter, coming over to the UK in June for a year or two.

It was the gun held to their head.

Missed our two lifts though and I would have liked to see more of Kathy dancing in her leather gear . Also I have been waiting to steal your moves ( Although I know I set myself up here I cannot help myself)

You don't need to steal them. You can have them. They are done and we are working on a whole set of brand new moves. Double Trouble Doughnut drop is near perfection.

Martins Double supergirl has been stolen but scrapped as it's not good enough to warrent keeping.

Has woodface won anything else? Most of the people on here have won quite a few trophies. Has woodface only won the one?

Yeah but I have only been dancing 16 months and this is my first comp. That gives me a 100% sucsess ratio.

Hopefully have a handfull more by the time im in my 50's
