Men in white Clinging Elvis costumes in abundance, wearing wigs...pure entertainment!
The looks on the men's faces when the costume man found a suit to fit them was priceless! Not forgetting the wigs!
The ladies faired a whole lot better! We had makeup and ribbons in hair and all things pretty!
All ready and time to hop on the bus and get to 'location, luvvy, dahlink'!
I think we must have looked quite a sight, getting out of the buses next to a senior school!
Then came my next nightmare, we were partnered off, now Martin won't mind me saying this but if I'm at the South pole of dancing, he's at the North pole! And the track we had to dance to had to be 180bpm, he went into auto pilot 'LINDY HOP STYLE! legs flapping about, knees knocking, facial expressions the lot! HELP ME!
ARGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Take one!
(Martin darling, quiet word, I don't do lindy, I've never been to a single Lindy class in my life)
(aww sorry Lorraine, I'll try to keep it simple, just Ceroc moves, ok?)
(thankyou, I'd appreciate that)
Take two!
Music starts, we have to wait 4 bars, then run down the stairs on to the dance floor, First move, Return amd all the normal stuff, for 30 seconds, then Martin goes into auto pilot, lindy style again!
Repeat of the above for the next 10 takes.
Love U madly Martin, but we're just a match made in hell! he he he
Thinsgs did improve later, we swapped partners for the next Track! Martin found a lindy hopper and i found Ash! It was the first time we'd ever danced together but it felt like coming home!
I think I'll leave someone else to write the rest, my fingers are down to the knuckle!
Heres a pic of all of us and I'm going to see if I can upload all the pics to a site, so everyone can view them
