Contributing to a styling workshop - any ideas?

[MartinHarper]

Anyone got any particular bits of men's styling which they feel are essential to MJ?

Everything the women do. When a woman pulls of some styling, if the man can follow it up with something of his own that is recognisably the same movement, then he demonstrates that he is aware of his partner and dancing with her. This is important in social dancing and a start for "conversational" dancing.

The gender stereotype is that men use up as much space as they can, and women use up as much space as they need. If you believe that, then men's styling should be big, fast, and strong.

Also, kicks, snaps, points, and stomps.

You could ask Helen Zambas, ex-Blitz Leeds. She's worked with a number of male intructors to produce a number of Style workshops. Sure she would have some usefull input and is recognised as one of the finest dancers and instructors in the N East.

Heh heh, ironically, Helen is the teacher for whom I am demoing in the workshop! Yes, she is a brilliant dancer and very stylish

Aye ... spoke to her last night ... ranted against the evil of teaching body rolls .... but apparently you are exceptionally talented in this area .... may have to come to you for lessons.

PS .. note to Guys ... if your belly is bigger than your boobs ...DON'T DO BODY ROLLS!

my boobs are plenty big enough!!!

Make sure U emphasise the doble handed, wide legegd "impress me" freeze. Every stylish guy uses this and followers LOVE this!!!!

On a more serious note... most things have been covered. Variations in footwork, as opposed to "marching", might be a nice starter for 10...
