What is Sleaze?

OK,
let's give the assessors (Leaders and Followers) more ammunition in recognising/avoiding/parrying Sleazy moves.

No, I have decided
You have to assess at first hand (no sly observing from behind the curtains) my dance technique before you are allowed to award SF points.

I'm still on SF0, even after last night.

Can you wait till Blaze?

Nope. Will be up in edinburgh before then so will try to make it to a party for a non sleezy dep dance

If I'm giggling/ guffawing out loud, it's not sleazy. If I'm giving back as good as I got, it's not sleaze, although it might be completely outrageous . If I am holding your eye contact comfortably and/or beg (demurely of course) for another dance, I am happy that we understand each other so it's not sleazy.

If however, I do the moves with a slightly pained expression, stop smiling, resist close moves or hijack everything you do whilst staring at the ceiling/floor, something ain't right.

We all have different relationships with everybody we dance with. Some common sense and a little social awareness goes a long long way.

PS in the thread that led to this one, when I said "sleazing", I meant "sneezing" .........


New thread please

That's about one of the best summing up ways I've come across.

With some partners I can flirt outrageously on the dance floor as part of the dance - its just all banter and fun. And we both know that. I guess if I'm still smiling, its all OK!

this girl talks far too much sense for this forum

9days till I post my monthly SF counter to find out how bad I've been.

Twisting my arm won't extract the info, but if you want to contribute towards the choc for Cat fund, then maybe I could be persuaded to divulge something.
But a little birdy tells me there is a mole about.

I know you've all been hanging around waiting for this newsflash.

One month down and two "incidents".

I asked a regular (young) dance partner, "Was that Sleazy"
"Definitely" with a grin as wide as her ears. SF1

Last night I was recounting this thread to a partner and I moved into my penguin with a "here it comes" and stupidly asked at the end. "Factor 5" came the reply. SF6.

But, the other 350 dances without comment have earned me SF-35 (LM, they are my rules!)

Final monthly tally: SF-29.

I'm happy. My 348 partners are assumed to be happy, or at least tolerant.

This is probably my last newsflash. Radio DEP has sacked it's sole newsreader and is closing down.

That's fine. I'll just avoid dancing with you. That's my rule.
