    Re: The Perfect Dance

    I'm in two different minds about this one. On one hand, I can sometimes have a dance where I think 'Right, I can just go home now, that was so perfect that if I have another dance, I'll ruin it!'. On the other hand, it's sooooo tempting to continue dancing with that same partner, even though I know deep down that the next dance is bound to be a bit of a disappointment - there's no way I can have two absolutely perfect dances in a row!

    These dances are rare. I still remember one particular dance I had at Blaze II where absolutely everything 'clicked'. The music was right, the connection was perfect, and both my partner and myself just lost ourselves in the music. When the track stopped, it was a bit like waking from a trance. I really wanted it to continue, my partner didn't want another dance, as he was sure the next one could never be as perfect. He was right. We did have another dance later that evening, and although it was still a really good dance, it wasn't in the same league as that first one.

    Re: The Perfect Dance

    Well, I generally never follow up my most memorable dances with a request for another since invariably those dances result in me needing time away from the floor to, ahem, allow the swelling to subside Having said that, I can't remember the last time this happened. WCS must be bad for the circulation

    For me, it would be because she would have done a runner if that'd happend!

    Ups and downs of dancing apart, I'd always look for another dance if I'd had a 'perfect' one - you never know, the next one might be even more perfect (plus I'm a greedy sod when it comes to wanting more of a good thing )

    Surely it cannot be that perfect if she trod on your foot?

    I had perfect dances as a beginner.
    It's all relative.
    Won't be long now.

    It's when you are able to slip inside the music instead of plodding along beside it. That's what causes the trance effect.

    Agree with Trouble, Jay Jay, Caz, Lory ....

    The irony is that "perfect" is often used as a measure - a dance competition or where a couple is practicising their moves, so focus is equally or arguably greater on technicalities of the dance in addition to the chemistry. In the context of this thread though, I think we are talking more about the chemisty, and perfect will be as Trouble describes (un-measurable)....

    I've had memorable dances (where less was definately more ), perfect dance-nights and been to perfect venues and in the context of this thread, the empathy felt towards your perfect partner, the lovey-doveyness, the magic, the sensual take my breath away moments experienced during a dance, the connection, those subtle leads/moves that create big illusions ..... if it happens, why leave it at one if you can prolong the experience?

    It doesn't count with a regular partner because it is almost certain that you will have another dance with them however good the first one. Although recently I had a fantastic dance with someone and he asked me straight away for another - this was also excellent. Then he later (brave man) asked for a third (panic on my part!) - this turned out to be even better - so I may have to reconsider .....

    Depends on what you call a regular partner.....my partner doesn't dance full stop, so when I go to venues I am on my own so to speak. Having said that at each venue I have my regular favourite dancers, so I can generally guess who will be there and knowing the ones I am in 'sync' with, we will and do tend to look out for each other knowing that it works so well for both of us.

    But sometimes like Maxine said earlier when someone you haven't danced with before (the element of surprise) turns out to have that 'wow' factor, as happened to me last night at Berko it just leaves you coming home with a huge smile on your face and that feeling that you can't wait for next week to come...

    Glad someone else has the same opinion! I thought most folk had the halloween bug - as they were a frightfully experimental, cheeky, vivacious mood - it must have been those folk visiting. What an awesome night it was! I'm still (maybe we ought to move this to the "was last night amazing for you too?")

    Yes, back to the "The Perfect Dance" thread, last night was perfect and I did have a couple of perfect dances.
