[Daisy Chain]

This Saturday BBC1 at 17:45 h.

A prog in which Brucie looks at the high points of dance.

Might be worth watching

Thanks DC. It's on just at the right time too, in between the Rebel Yell workshops, and the evening freestyle

[Stuart]

Thanks, I'll have to set the video for that.

Later on at 21:10 on BBC1 according to my TV Guide "Saturday Swings".

"An evening dedicated to the kings and queens of the swing era, with performances of classic songs made famous by Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Stars paying tribute include Andy Williams, Jamie Cullum, Katie Melua and Tony Christie".

Oopsy!

Just read the Radio times properly and Brucie is on Sunday at 17:45.

I wonder what Stuart and Gojive will end up with on their videos?

"Naughty Schoolteacher gets it from..." or whatever else was on the tape I would have over-written

Thanks for the correction DC

(I was being corrected by a rather large Dutch lady, but I ran out of cash )

I had actually found out that it was on Sunday.

So, what did people think of this?

I loved seeing the history, and the clips - I've got to get "Hellzapoppin' on DVD - but I wasn't so keen on Bruce mugging and hamming it up like crazy.

Couple of things I learnt:
- "Jive" is slang for "not dancing properly"
- The Twist is where it all went horribly wrong for partner dancing

Looking forward to the Latin section next Sunday.

Oh yes - why oh why was it buried away in the graveyard "Antiques Roadshow" timeslot? I nearly missed it

Managed to find a tape to record it, but had to rewind and lost the first 3/4 mins but will watch again and again. Really loved the old clips AND can show my grandsons that Frankie Manning has given me a kiss of the cheek and I even had a little dance with him ahhhhhh... (sorry had to put that bit in cors I am soooooo chuffed about it - my claim to fame )

I told you about it last Thursday. Admittedly, I did give the wrong night ....


I thought it was quite good for a programme aimed at Muggles.

Loved the step dancing. Michael Flatley Hated the voguing and that twitchy stuff done at the end with Rita Skeeta in the blue hat.

Depressed to realise that big feet are a Bad Thing.

I throughly enjoyed it and will certainly be parking my backside on the sofa for the latin episode next week.

.../snip/....I thought it was quite good for a programme aimed at Muggles. .

Muggles ? No I reckon, it was aimed at us dancers - I don't reckon there were many muggles who bothered to watch it - whereas us dancers would not want to miss it

I thought it was explaining how our current dancing is not new - Muggles wouldn't be interested in that

I loved it, in fact I loved the whole programme

BTW Glenn Ball did a cabaret of this dance style at Rebel Yell on Saturday - it was really amazing

I assumed it was aimed at Muggles because it was scheduled on a Sunday evening just before Antiques Roadshow. Otherwise, it would have been hidden away late at night like Come Dancing used to be in the 1970s.

BTW, Bring back the real CD.

Strictly Ballroom and Fever were on early too

Oh pants, turned it on for the last ten minutes, forgot all about it! My non dancing husband walked out of the room as soon as i turned it on, so guess Minnies correct, it is aimed at dancers not muggles! Yeh and a superb cabaret it was too, he can certainly move his body.

[Lynn]

Only saw the 'street dance' bit.

Must remember to watch next week.

Getting a little worried about this recent propensity to forgetfulness!

[David Bailey]

Only saw the 'street dance' bit.

You missed all the good stuff!

The whole street dance section, I pretty much dozed off for - it just confirmed my opinion that the 70's and 80's were Best Forgotten for dancers.

Also, with the Boogaloo, for some reason I'd assumed that this would be about Latin. Duh...

[Lynn]

You missed all the good stuff!

I know! And I did know it was on...just forgot. Will really try to remember next time...

I think he said "Jive" means not doing things right, as in Jive talking. In "Don't give me that jive" I think it means "rubbish".

Also interesting the theory that the bigger the feet, the less natural dance ability.

BigDJiver?

I haven't watched it yet, but that theory might explain a lot about my dancing ability!
