    I've found the same too when I've been out dancing with Beo. I usually send him off to ask someone else to dance and go looking for someone to dance with by myself!

They don't seem to wan't fight past a line of girls to get the someone sitting next to a bloke. I disscoverd this when I wen't to Wolverhampton over Xmas with Gerry, I neaver got asked once when we were sat next to each other.

    I might be wrong
    Your not wrong. It's much easier to ask someone who is at the edge of the dancefloor than someone who appears to be coupled up away from the floor.

    I'm afraid that the dignified response to such rudeness is to do as instructed. There is no verbal response that you can give to someone like this. Your response is all about how you feel - I suppose you could let rip to this person if it would make you feel better. But the correct response is to walk away - it's just a bit difficult when this happens at a dance class as it takes you by surprise.

    I've just remembered a response one of my friends used to use when he was turned down for a dance in a club. I have paraphrased it a bit, he was a bit agricultural in his use of language.

    "I suppose sex is out of the question?"

    You could try that and see if he still gives you the same response

    There certainly is:

    1- Don't dance with drunk people.

    2- If you are sweaty then have the decency to change your clothes even if there is only one dance left.

    Key word here is NORMALLY
    We all have our favourites whom we dance with, personally I find if I try to work my way around the room and have a couple of dances with my favourites, suddenly there is the night...GONE.

    There are always exceptions to every rule, however as a general rule of thumb if there are 2 ladies to be asked I would go for the larger older lady as they seem IMHO to be the better dancers, not set in stone tho.

    Twirly baby if you dont dance with me at SP ...I am not coming...So there.

    Now that is the insult of a true gentleman! If Mr. "Bugger off" had smiled politely and said "Madam, I wouldn't dance with you if you were the last woman in England" I would have understood and buggered off! Now where is my Jane Austen!

    Are you referring at all to our dance on Saturday, after which you said 'dancing with you gets scarier'
    I didn't take it as an insult, but was just worried that this was a general trend & that I was gradually but consistently reducing the number of leads that want to dance with me

    In fairness, I had been dancing all night in the improvisational vibe that existed in the Blues room at STB, & had just finished playing with Lucky, & I, having danced with you recently, decided that you were up to me raising the stakes a little as you didn't seem too phased by my doing so (please take that as a huge compliment - I only really play when I think the lead can handle it).

    So it was not exactly an insult, but I am resigned to the fact that there are as many people who are scared of dancing with me as there are who like dancing with me, & your comment just confirmed this to me

    So I shall forever be....

    "Ok". Then go ask someone else to dance.

    This, on the other hand, is less dignified.

    "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn".

    This was Clark Gable's original line - he didn't follow the script which wouldn't have had "damn" in it.

    Damn was a banned word by the American Censors. (along with all swear words and references to bodily parts and other stuff - sex and other bodily functions.

    Amazingly it was kept in.

    Wonder if it will be censored on this post?

    You weren't wearing that choker with very long, very pointed metal spikes by any chance were you?

    Maybe it's just that people are starting to realise that you're actually quite good at this dancing thing

    I have to admire a man who, when in a hole, keeps digging with such vigour.

    I wonder what Trouble thinks of your implication?

    Perhaps DTS needs bigger equipment?

    I don't know, I usually just say "I can see you're busy chatting, but would you like to dance?"

    When the specific etiquette for a given situation is unknown, I tend to fall back on manners and politeness

    Actually, you can ask around for second opinions, but I had a very demure lady-like top on & no spikes/studs/scarey stuff
    There was even a presence of white within the floral pattern
    Ok.....I get it now....THAT was what was frightening

    Anyway, those spikes are reserved for your punishment for subjectig me to evil flatbacks that I simply CAN'T DO
