[B]This "Urban"{Much more funky word than "club" }/"Latin"
Thanks Gadget - I use the expression 'urban' to describe the dance styles of the likes of Dan; Taz and Adam; Ben and Holly and Simon and Keely.
Having two kids in the house (well...... aged 20 and 22) who dance 'club' style in and around the night clubs in Bristol which encapsulates house/trance and R & B styles they would be horrified to think their styles of dancing was remotely 'jive' so therefore I do not think of it as 'club' style but more 'urban' as in hip-hop.
Sorry - but when you live with kids of this age they soon put you in your place and tell you to 'get with the programme' and look out if you are not.

As a follow on from what you were saying about dance styles, you and Ray always look great on the dance floor with your latin style and always look like you are having such fun. I wonder though, having watched you dance with Mark (ie Mark & Jackie from Cardiff) at Blackpool during Saturday evening, whether you found the 'urban' stlye harder to follow ? I don't think many people appreciate how much harder it is to follow the urban style when you are not used to it as they do not immediately appear to be traditionally structured moves as we know them and rely much more on personal style and musical interpretation I think, or indeed do many appreciate how good the followers of these partners are to keep up !
Love the costumes by the way - did you make yours and did you dye Ray's trousers - they were a fantastic blue !
Simon - you would look good in anything - sequins or not (better than Prince William in fact!)
