Flirty Dancing

[MartinHarper]

If you stare at me like some sort of crazy woman, I'll probably assume you've been possessed by the devil, and lead a travelling move to the nearest spot of consecrated ground. Or, "the stage", as it's also known.

I can detect if a woman fancies me whether she does or not.

what she may not know she fancies you ?

It's been said that some folk are a little 'flirty' when dancing. I just wondered if there was anything other than 'flirty' dancing and how other folk felt about this.

When Franck teaches he mentions eye contact/smiling a lot and I have found this helpful rather than watching what your partner is doing (or rather trying to anticipate the next move, which I have a terrible habit of) but then it has been said I appear very 'flirty' because of this.

Now I know this dance thing can get a little erotic sometimes (purely from reading other threads in the forum!) but I wondered if you do the whole 'eye contact' thing that the bloke thinks he's onto a good thing rather than just assuming you're enjoying the dance with him. I know I tend to have a habit of asking the same blokes to dance because I know they are a good lead rather than there being any physical attraction.

Hi Fionna, first of all i have no idea who you are, so come and introduce yourself to me, i am taxi-ing tonight so you should be able to guess who i am as i am the only taxi with a northern irish accent.

Ok on thread (before i get shouted at by a certain someone), i found your post very interesting as i have been asked the question " do guys not get the wrong idea when you dance with them as you do make a lot of eye contact" but to be honest i dont think this is the case, in most situations that you "flirt" you dance up a gear, it tends to be with people you know or are comfortable with (correct me if i am wrong however this is my perception) so there for you will probably have already set boundaries ie know if they are dancing with you for enjoyment of your dance or whether its just to get close to you and a chance to watch you bum as you wiggle around and play with the moves (those who are guilty of this know who you are ) and you can choose the way you dance to suit this.

I think what everyone has to remember is that we are at a venue (for the most of us) to dance not pick up a partner so there for we should be able to let go of our inhibitions and relax into the dance without worrying..oh dear does he think a, b or c?.. chances are the guy is just thinking about trying to lead the moves without cocking up or enjoying the dance.

That explains it!

I was wondering why the guys so often had that strained look on their faces

...a chance to watch you bum as you wiggle around and play with the moves (those who are guilty of this know who you are )

OK, how is this even possible with UCP / flirty dancing? Surely you're:
A: too close in to see the bum most of the time?
B: facing your partner most of the time?
Watching other parts, fair enough, but bum? Can't see it

chances are the guy is just thinking about trying to lead the moves without cocking up or enjoying the dance.

Or, as was put in a previous thread, something like:
"Right hand hold, OK that's a catapult, oops, no, bugger, just did one of those, alright, a yoyo then, why hasn't she let go, quick, do a spin away, OK, back to the left hand, slow comb, let me think, walkaround a bit, how do I get to that Columbian position again..."

[ducasi]

... or whether its just to get close to you and a chance to watch you bum as you wiggle around and play with the moves ...

And here I thought that was why you wanted to dance with me!

... chances are the guy is just thinking about trying to lead the moves without cocking up or enjoying the dance.

That's me for sure.

My girlfriend has told me I need to dance more flirty with my dance partner

Oh well, the things we suffer for our craft

[Graham]

Please introduce yourself, Fionna, as I don't want to spend every week at Jumpin Jaks assessing how flirty all the girls are to see if I can work out who you are!

Personally I think that flirting is often about breaking eye contact rather than simply making it. There is one person I know who is uncomfortable with prolonged eye contact so looks away fairly regularly, but I actually find this more flirty than if she simply maintained contact.

I saw that in Kill Bill 2. Didn't look very flirty, though...
