Friday 2nd September

[JoC]

And I have to say, DT with DJ is an experience everyone should have at least once (dammit, now they'll be queuing up and I won't get a look in), and for the ladies it's a lot easier than it looks (although I think it probably helps if you've done a little salsa, since he does tend to drift into salsa mode )

Out of idle interest, is there a salsa equivalent to DT?

[Zebra Woman]

Out of idle interest, is there a salsa equivalent to DT?

Yes there is, it's excellent if you get a good lead.....And if you dance DT salsa with Andreas there is certainly no opportunity for being idle! He is very good at keeping two women busy.

I have only ever danced DT salsa with him, I am waiting for my first proper salsa dance.

[David Bailey]

thanks - but I now feel bad that I don't know who you are - did I dance with you in the class on Monday?

I think so - she danced with me, I think, and as you were standing next to me, it's a fair bet...

{ snip nice stuff }

Awww... you guy...
I'm almost feeling guilty about possibly dumping the lot of you for the prospect of a night of salsa with a gorgeous blonde of "phenomenal skill". Almost.

I think it's more that I always dance salsa, but sometimes I have to fit it into an MJ beat...

Out of idle interest, is there a salsa equivalent to DT?

Yes, although this seems to have gone out of style recently - maybe because it's a challenge to try cross-body leading with two women? It's not impossible, though, I managed a cross-body DT lead last night, it seemed to work well

[Northants Girly]

Something really really wierd has happened

I definitely voted for "Other"

but now it looks like I'm going to the Pre comp party

(but - its a different party I'm going to! )


help please moderators!

As a couple of people have asked . . . . I'm definitely NOT going to be in Scotland. When I voted the comp party option didn't even exist so I don't know how I got on there

Hope you all have a fab night tonight whereever you go

[Tessalicious]

Ok, ok so I'm dense - but how am I supposed to know these things if no-one tells me

Awww... you guy...

Now I think you're confusing me with Lou...

I'm almost feeling guilty about possibly dumping the lot of you for the prospect of a night of salsa with a gorgeous blonde of "phenomenal skill". Almost.

You cut me deep, DJ, you cut me real deep just now. But if we're not gorgeous enough or phenomenally skilful enough for you, I guess that's up to you

[Yogi_Bear]

.....But if we're not gorgeous enough or phenomenally skilful enough for you, I guess that's up to you

The competing attractions of 'gorgeous' and 'skilful' have been debated here recently in another thread. A combination of the two in one person, in the context of salsa (or blues? ) , though rare, would surely be irresistible

[David Bailey]

But if we're not gorgeous enough

Yeah, yeah, fish all you like - I only compliment for rep, what part of the sig didn't you understand?

or phenomenally skilful enough for you

Actually, those weren't my words, but, ahem, someone else's

[WittyBird]

What do you mean you think I danced with you ?

LMC introduced us and you took me for a dance. Tessalicious was nowhere to be seen at that point! But yes at the next opportunity I will introduce myself to her and hopefully pick up some tips

Tessalicious dances lead in beginners and intermediate classes, (and very nicely too ) - so you almost certainly danced with her WB - she looks just like her avatar (funny that, I'm sure I'm less orange IRL than mine).

[David Bailey]

Sorry - I meant, during the class. She was standing next to me as a leader, you'd probably have noticed her, as she looked a little less manly than me.

And it was magical

I'm 100% sure I didnt dance with her looks like I missed out
Yes you are less orange IRL and you dont tend too stand on your head either

[Tessalicious]

I'm 100% sure I didnt dance with her looks like I missed out

not at all - if you're at Cheshunt tonight then I'd be delighted to have a dance with you (come and find me as early on as poss if you want me to lead properly - my leading brain switches off at about 10:30)

Yes you are less orange IRL

Hmm apart from that time when the fake-tan went horribly wrong...

[JoC]

Well here's hoping I get the chance one day! Signed up for salsa course just in case.

[Gill (Norwich)]

So who, apart from those listed in poll under Cheshunt, are going to that venue tonight. I am and I am under Hipsters, and I think Stewart 38 is and he is listed under Chesham, and my daughter whose name on here will be Dilly when she can eventually get registered (she has hotmail email did anyone else have this prob and if so how long did you have to wait to be registered?).

Can't wait to meet you all, we will be setting off at 6pm so we should make it for most of the evening. See you there

Shame your typing/spelling isn't (only teasing - see you there )

[Icey]

As this is my last late Friday night out for the forseeable future I have decided to keep it more local and go to Hipsters than trek all the way over to Cheshunt.

I now have to be up early every saturday and I have to be 'with it'

[stewart38]

Cheeky man I hope your gonna smile tonite

Do you know how hard ive had to work at being called Jack Dee

[WittyBird]

not at all - if you're at Cheshunt tonight then I'd be delighted to have a dance with you (come and find me as early on as poss if you want me to lead properly - my leading brain switches off at about 10:30)

Thanks for that I will look forward to it.
Yay I will be there if Stewart38's driving is ok
