Does anyone remember going to the Tea Dances on the HMS President at Blackfriars? or was it Embankment. Anyway I went twice (found the slope in the middle of the dancefloor odd. The second time i went Mike was teaching. He used to have excuse me's and another section where all would "freestyle" using the moves he just taught and he would chose a winner. He chose me, and i found the class difficult. anyway just a bit of waffle. what i'm interested to know if similar classes or tea dances exist and whether excuse me's and such like still operate.

Age is a question of mind over matter, if you don't mind, it doesn't matter
Leroy (Satchel) Paige (1906-1982)
Mickey Mouse's girlfriend, Minnie, made her film debut, along with Mickey, in "Steamboat Willie" on November 18, 1928.
That date is recognized as her official birthday.
does it still have the slop in the middle of the dancefloor?

Am I living in a parallel universe ? The Tea Dances on the HMP are still going strong. It is one of my favourite venues and the most recent dance was on 29th Nov - just over 2 weeks ago. As always, Erick played some fab Sunday afternoon tunes (with a few more lively ones thrown in so that I can have a coffee & cake break and not have a fomo attack).
errr, yes. It is a boat, and that is how it was built ! You just have to dance a little more carefully & closely - which in my opinion, is no bad thing.
