Star Signs v Dancers

[Minnie M]

There seemed to be lots of birthdays last month, just wondered how our star signs match up to our dancing

What do you mean, match up?

[Piglet]

Like this poll Minnie - well done you for thinking it up.

I'm a Virgo and should get on with Taureans and Capricorn(ians?) but wonder if it adds up with regard to dancing partners - I'm going to start asking guys their star signs

[LMC]

Ach, I don't believe in astrology, Cancerians never do

( blindingly obvious comeback but @me for getting there first)

[Minnie M]

Which star sign favours the dancer etc., or dancing partnership

Graham did some stats a couple of years ago on the star signs of forumites.

thanks David - so as at July 2003 The most common star sign amongst people who have registered their birthday (52% of members) is Aries, and the least common is Virgo. Mind you that was on registration not posts - we need ESG to do the poll acurately

Should be interesting to see what the situation is now, especially as we have lost quite a few forumites (not posting that is) since 2003

From the same thread I like this post from Ash dated 15 July 2003 (thanks Ash )

Dancing Around the Zodiac
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a rough guide to astrology and dancing: you can see the trait that stands out for your sign. They are a general description and won’t apply to everybody.

ARIES They are extrovert or in-your-face. But they are also impatient and impulsive, making mistakes when they learn routines: they don’t always finish what they start. They are also the daredevils of the zodiac, jumping first and thinking later! If you’ve seen Harold Nicholas (of the legendary Nicholas Brothers) dance you’ll see what I mean!

TAURUS This sign, more than any other, can show the extremes of dancing: they can be clumsy and slow or move like Fred Astaire. They’re sensuous nature makes them feel the music (& their partner!) but the resulting rhythm depends upon their ability!

GEMINI They are nimble-footed and agile: they’re very quick around the dance floor. They learn steps/routines very quickly and are young at heart. Frankie Manning, the legendary Lindy Hopper, is still teaching and dancing in his late eighties.

CANCER They don’t like to draw attention to themselves and hate to be the wallflower. They’re hypersensitive about what other people think about their dancing. There are, of course, exceptions: Ginger Rogers.

LEO They are the natural performers of the Zodiac, possessing charisma and personality. But they can also show-off and be more aware of the audience than their partner. They can look for applause, needing to feel noticed and appreciated. That’s why they can indulge in more complicated/flashy moves-as long as they can do them well. Gene Kelly is a famous lion.

VIRGO They’re the technicians on the dance floor. They can learn a routine or style precisely but they can worry too much about doing it perfectly. This can deprive them of spontaneity and flair. The precision can be used to good effect in the right feet: Michael Jackson.

LIBRA Image is very important to them: they like to be aesthetically pleasing! And it’s not just the clothes: they want to look stylish and graceful around the dance floor. They like a partner who makes them look good! Jayne Torvill is a famous example.

SCORPIO They are the sexbombs on the dance floor! Have you noticed their intense/hypnotic stare?! Their simmering passions can make them sensual and erotic, usually in a subtle way. (They don’t do things by halves and usually commit themselves 100% to any dance that interests them.)

SAGITTARIUS Their enthusiasm and enjoyment of life comes over in their dancing: they want to have fun! They are also very theatrical because everything has to be larger than life. They can use flashy/revealing clothes to get their point across…and don’t like to be upstaged! Busby Berkeley is a famous archer.

CAPRICORN They work long and hard to learn a style of dancing but the struggle can sap them of fun. This changes as they get older because they mellow out and have less of a need to stick to strict guidelines and rules. Anna Pavlova, the Russian ballet dancer, is a famous example.

AQUARIUS They are conservative or they like to experiment with the steps, trying different things. This results in originality, misguided steps or the need to be different for the sake of it. John Travolta is a quirky example.

PISCES They look like they’re floating on the dance floor because they’re light and airy. They know instinctively where their partner is going, almost blending in with them. Cyd Charisse is a famous fish.

LIBRA Image is very important to them: they like to be aesthetically pleasing! And it’s not just the clothes: they want to look stylish and graceful around the dance floor. They like a partner who makes them look good! Jayne Torvill is a famous example.

As a Libra, I can honestly say this really doesn't apply to me. Shame, really, sounds quite cool.

In fact, I'm not sure any of these styles describes me...

So, Astrology: pile of poo, basically.

I don't know which box to tick I'm on the cusp of Cancer and Leo!

TAURUS This sign, more than any other, can show the extremes of dancing: they can be clumsy and slow or move like Fred Astaire. They’re sensuous nature makes them feel the music (& their partner!) but the resulting rhythm depends upon their ability!

It IS a load of rubbish. And I don't DARE ask which of these my dance partners think I am.

oh if only I was a cusp

[Northants Girly]

I don't know which box to tick I'm on the cusp of Cancer and Leo!

Surely a Leo with that lovely, long mane of yours!

[Dance Demon]

I don't know which box to tick I'm on the cusp

I think theres probably a few folk on the cusp

[Night Owl]

Scorpio


SEXBOMB


AYE RIGHT

But I do enjoy dancing

[RachD]

Libra.... who wouldn't want to be all of these things?

[Gojive]

I'm on the turn I think

Taurus

Hmm... bit cynical about this though would say that sometimes I do have to 'think' a move through before implimenting. Can't 'see' the move, then I can't do it... does that help?

Oh... and my dancing is a constant source of anxiety as spicen'easy and lee will confirm... hmmm... think I just wrote a note to New to london post saying that he should relax and enjoy himself... maybe it's 'bout time I listened to myself!!!

OMG, me to a T.

Now, I know personally one of the forumites and he has exactly the same birthday as me. When I met him several years ago, he was 1 year older than me. How strange that last month, we had a birthday and according to his birthday announcement on this forum, he is now 2 years younger than me. How did that happen?
