Interesting idea, I wonder what sort of reputation you need to work for themOriginally Posted by bigdjiver
And have any ladies on here ever felt the need for such a service? I can't imagine the demand being very high.

So, I tried a tight search, which revealed nothing, but there was a paid for link on the results page which gave me something to think about:-

I just looked at that site. Sounds a bit like Rent-a-Gigalo to meOriginally Posted by Sheepman
I looked at it and wanted to see pictures.
I think this may be because you are a boy (ram?!), and a fine dancer: therefore never lacking in partners. We girls of uncertain competition level ( ) might occasionally want someone to accompany them...though admittedly nowadays if none of my friends are going somewhere I want to go I go on my ownOriginally Posted by sheepman
Bardsey....... Besides, I know what you men are like for missing the right button
Oh Jill, you do make me laugh!I just looked at that site. Sounds a bit like Rent-a-Gigalo to me

Ill rent myself out free if they'll just pretend to be my friend for the eveningOriginally Posted by Sheepman
Actually thats a very interesting site - heres some quotes....
hmm comfortable - with or without clothes for example. Wanna come back to see some..er..dance moves...eh.. ehThey also have lots of patience, are very friendly, are comfortable in all sorts of situations and are smart and well presented
Nice of them. Very different to the rest of the selfish bastards that go to these modern jive events!A reduced rate can be organised if you do not require your dancer to attend any classes with you or to dance exclusively with you.They will agree to be available to dance with you at your request.
Shouldn't this be a 'swing' dancing company Anyway, Central Region ? Thats Stirling and Falkirk area ? Where are these people basedWe can offer a service which may be useful for ladies or couples who would like to attend any of the various freestyles around the central region but do not wish to drive, or would prefer to have someone to go with them to a new venue.
Is this a service for the socially inept ? If so, would they even want to go to jive events regardless of how they obtain someone to dance with. Ill dance with anyone if they pay

Interesting, however some of it seems to negate the whole open and friendly attitude - I suppose that some of the more shy or less forward people could use the "service" as an introduction; then once they got used to the scene, go solo.Originally Posted by Sheepman
"We are available to attend your local jive class with you and do the class with you on a one to one basis outside the usual class partner rotation."
I wonder how teachers would feel if this happened every week, then more and more people chose not to rotate... Would it happen?
It seems to involve only two people, and they are offering teaching services - This is aimed at complete newbies who may have seen something; personally I would rather go to an established class where the teacher could be judged by the class rather than potentially being taught the wrong things. I wonder what qualifies them to teach? (Taxis are qualified by being appointed by a teacher, and the services being offered seem similar.)
I'm as curious as Sheepman as to it's appeal/popularity.
Thanks DS, I'd missed that bit.if you do not require your dancer to attend any classes with you or to dance exclusively with you.
So if you were employed, at one of your regular venues, what would you say when you had to refuse to dance with your friends?
"No, sorry, I'm being a gigolo tonight"
There must be plenty more suggestions out there . . .

And what about those nights you go dancing and bump into a client. Do you charge them for a danceOriginally Posted by Sheepman
I can imagine a girl going to some function where she'd like to show off her dancing, but she wouldn't feel comfortable inflicting the rest of the function on one of her normal dance buddies...Originally Posted by Sheepman
Of course that's not going to happen very often, so yeah, I don't think this is a business which will take off. (Although if they do, and they're looking for decent guy dancers with Australian accents, and are willing to pay air-fare ... )
Uh huh. Where do I sign up?Originally Posted by Bardsey

Somewhat anglocentrically (!!?!) I assumed this was my neck of the woods i.e. Ceroc Central region. So now I've been reviewing my male Ceroc aquaintances wondering if it could possibly be one of them. I've already got a few suspicions. I hope the plot is going to thicken. Perhaps I should answer the ad?
If you delve deeper into their site, there is a "Who are we" type page that gives two names... perhaps they match your suspects.
