    I think I can make do with you John! Always a pleasure and looking forward to it
    But anyway, the Marco's party is the weekend after (28th). Yes, it is in Edinburgh - I won't be there, but if Gus is then I'm sure he'll do his best to make your journey worthwhile!
    Lost out to a dance with Gus AGAIN! In London that weekend

    Have never been to either Glasgow or Edinburgh parties or classes - but going to change that real soon (if I make enough brownie points between then and now!)

    See you soon

    Sandy

    PS might be a bit knackered after the Saturday workshop but a few drinks and I should be fine!

    Thought I had mastered the quote thing but seem to have got it back to front story of my life!

    Either that or you won't notice! See you on the dance floor (or in the bar?)

    I completely agree with you on that one, sexy-ness (though I would rather call it a vibe or connection) is nothing to do with appearance etc... All the factors you described contribute but for all we know it could be an olfactive reaction
    I tend to get one or 2 connected dances at most Ceroc nights and it is always great!

    I am with you on that one as well, read less rather than too much... I am sure most women (and men) are perfectly capable of making it clear if they want things to go further...

    Beg to differ (been reading too much Cosmo) ... a recent girlfirend's "making it clear" was to offer to slap me across the face if I tried anything funny (I'd only enquired if the knot holding her top on was secure)..... that was supposed to be a come on After such an 'obvious' signal I'm still amazed we ended up dating (eventualy)!

    As has been commented on before, the female "No" can mean "No", "Maybe" or "What the hell are you waiting for???" Face it, we're not really supposed to stand a chance are we.

    I'm with Franck on this (and by the way great post from Rachel, as others have already commented).

    A come-on for masochists, presumably? Whilst I can understand that such an exchange could happen in a flirty way (come on, what were you asking about the knot for??) I'm sticking to the position that most people are capable of being a little more open about whether they are "interested", and it's always safer to assume less rather than more. Of course, if you're interested there's nothing to stop you making the first move. If you're not, then I don't see there's any real harm in ignoring any obscure "signals".

    A dance IS just a Dance

    Ok ... had a lot of fun in this thread ... but when it comes down to it, like most people, I go to Ceroc just to dance ... and so a dance REALLY is just a dance. The flirtation and fun that surrounds the night is great but the 'taking it further' questions should stay off the dance floor ... there is enough emotion, insecurity, imagintaion about without every intense dance being interpreted as anything more ... and thankfully that tends to be the rule.

    For the rest of it ... Ceroc is just like any other social club .. liaisions form, couples break up, rumour abounds etc ... all part of the social tapestry of modern life ... as long as it doesn't detract from the dancing long may it continue ....

    I dragged this old thread up and I've really enjoyed reading it right from the beggining! I've laughed out loud many times!

    p.s. I didn't know about the hand squeezing thing! God knows what people must think of me, cos I'm a hand squeezing, top of arm squeezing, pat on back and occasional full blown hugger!

    Because most dancers end up looking like starched penguins! A better, yet similar, move is the traveling three beat basic (or something like that) or the Blues first move ... lot more style.

    I really do not know!!

    Being coldly, scientifically logical, there seems, from my observations, to be some shared 'ingredients'.

    Being fun ... and light ... and flirty (to a degree)
    Being confident, with real clarity (no vagueness or (false) arrogance)
    Something in the eyes - sparkle - gives away a full spirited persona
    Genuine authenticity- not bothering too much about what others think, not being afraid to express.
    Softness and consideration.

    That's my list!!

    Although I'll always find it attractive, doesn't mean that I'll necessarily fancy them. However, if available, and similar in beliefs values and dreams .... then I'd fancy them stoopid!!

    Being coldly, scientifically logical, ...
    ... it's your volume divided by the square of the distance between your chin and your feet. There's an optimum value which the scientists involved are keeping under wraps (and who says romance is dead).

    And as Rachel says it doesn't have to be the most fantastic looking person or someone youreally 'fancy' but there's that little something extra which can almost blow you away.

    There are several women, including Gus's partner who can make a man feel like he's a fantastic dancer because she's so good. Although this usually happens with dancers you know well there are ocassions when I start dancing with a woman I haven't danced with before and there's an instant 'spark' and you know that this is going to be really good. Difficult to explain it but you can then tell which moves are possible and how 'sexy'/'sleazy' you can be.
    I also agree with all this. I remember dancing at a Tea Dance with a guy I'd never met (and probably haven't seen since). When he asked me to dance I thought, "oh, he's a funny looking bloke, but I'll give it a go", but I walked off that dancefloor thinking "wow!" - don't know quite what he did to me, but it was VERY sexy!!!!

    And Rachel - whatever that "it" is, watching the two of you dance, you've got it in bucketloads with Marc"
