    You're welcome TT... I agree that this smiley was long overdue... (Thanks Tramp)...

    surely that deserves a too though?

    Ok, here goes ‘Steve the necromancer’ raising the dead again, but had SUCH a good night a the church tonight that I’m still buzzing and can’t sleep . I’m resurrecting this one because I’ve just learnt something (not the moves, they’re simple enough to learn:sorry ) but something completely different. The hardest thing was quite simply in learning that I can string a series of moves together, not necessarily in ‘lesson-order’, and in time to the music!!!!! As a self-confessed ‘bugger this malarky, I cant dance’ kind of chap, the fact that I can was undoubtedly the hardest thing for me to learn. I’ll never win any comps, but that was never the point for me, to learn and have fun was. I’m off now, want to practice my lady-spin into catapult move...a bloody catapult! Damn fancy that move...for a beginner .

    Hope this makes some sense.

    Re: The hardest thing when you started to learn...

    When you get your first dance persuade your guy to take you towards the middle of the floor and then as soon as the dance is over , turn and ask the nearest dancer.

    This tends to work well because:-
    *Someone has already got you on the floor so you CAN dance as far as the next guy knows.
    *Your confidence/adrenalin/dancing is up and flowing.
    *You have proved that you are a "doer" and not just a "watcher".
    *Success breeds success.


    Please remember to dance with your guy as if he is the only guy in the room and he will feel that enthusiasm but remember, this is "only a game" so go ahead and make mistakes.

    Yes, that's what I (still) do, and to this end will go on the floor with another girl and dancer with her just to get us both on the dancefloor . The getting of another dance is always easier for some reason when walking off the floor rather than on.

    Re: The hardest thing when you started to learn...

    when I first started learning Ceroc I was told by my partner to relax and if anything went wrong then it was the man's fault. I can live with that Though seriously we women can just follow the man's lead and we do alright so I think it's harder for the man to remember all the moves etc which is probably why more men are posting on this thread

    Re: The hardest thing when you started to learn...

    Ok i'm only a newbie, but the hardest things i find are:-
    1) keeping my balance after spin
    2) letting the man lead
    3) I used to also find the yo yo dead hard but after two weeks and two really good taxi's (last week and this week at jumpin jax) i got used to it . i wouldn't say i was confident with it but i understand it alot better

    Just as i said in that last point i think its just a case of getting used too it. hopefully i will get used to spining and things!!
