    Many years ago in a crowded Ibiza bar, leading a friend - the boozy men thought we were the lesbian cabaret

    Hey, that's happened to me too - and the management in the bar in Gran Canaria kept supplying me and my friend Emma with free cocktails! I think the phrase was:
    "you dance, we bring you drinks"
    - fine by us

    Re: Where have you danced? (More unusual places)

    A couple of years ago, I was stood on a platform at High Street Kensington tube station, with a chum, discussing a move from the intermediate class the night before. As I talked about it I started to physically go through the motions, as one does. A lady on the opposite platform then called across the tracks "I know that one" and proceeded to dance the follower's part. We then got to remote dance another couple of moves, before a tube train turned up and interrupted us, by which time we were a) laughing our heads off and b) attracting some very odd looks from bystanders! I never did find out who she was.

    I'll be dancing on a train platform tomorrow night - but both of us on the same side!

    New Years Eve in Bowen (my small home town in north Queensland) my partner and I had a bit of a boogie. When we looked up we saw that everyone else had stopped dancing, and the guy at the bar wouldn't let me pay for our drinks after that

    Welcome to the forum Rhythm King!
    Why thank you nicely ma'am

    Aren't Irish trains wider than English ones? Plenty of room for dancing in the aisles then!

    No aisles - compartments with a side corridor... (a steam train) but a jazz band playing on the platform will help things along. I go to this every year but this is the first since been dancing MJ so am looking foward to it (also my regular dance partner is going to be there too!)

    On Fri night we are going on a 'Steam & Jazz' evening and will be travelling by steam train to where a jazz band will be playing at a station - so plan to do some dancing on the platform beside the steam engine.

    Anyone else danced in unusual or interesting places?
    Just about did a couple of steps in Tesco's around 1.30am in the morning - think it must have been after a party night - in need of food to sustain me till morning. The music was good... that's the best excuse I can give!

    I've danced to a trad jazz band in a mini-mall at a fun park. I have always loved jiving to trad jazz bands. Perhaps I should worry, I did not consider this odd ...

    Re: Where have you danced? (More unusual places)

    In my local butcher's shop, Sept '98.....

    The butcher's daughter (who was ill at home with M.E.) wanted to see the difference between Rock & Roll, Modern Jive and Salsa. So I took in my boom-blaster and a partner and we did all 3. I have enjoyed discounted meat ever since!

    It was then that I realised what 'couple dancing' looks like to an outsider. When I watched the video tape of our dancing, I discovered that the butcher's camera was mostly focused on my torso, bottom, and legs. I mean closely focussed.

    He was gutted at the end when I was dipped . He'd got the camera on my chest, but realised too late he should've gone for the low angle at the other end. You know, the 'celebrity lady getting out of a car in a short skirt' angle.

    You win some....

    Anyway, admittedly this was in my cheerleading days(and not therefore MJ), but in front of 40,000 in Murrayfield, Hampden, and a ridiculous number in Frankfurt.

    Oh, and I did a striptease on a Frankfurt tram, but that story is SO for another time...
