In my experience long hair causes more problems when it is tied back, especially when plaited ouch!
And sorry, but I've no idea what a Bobby Dazzler is (although when my gran said it she was talking about a good looking guy )
Anyone got any suggestions what to do when the owner of a studio will not take any responsibility nor ask their teachers to make a general announcement from the stage to ask ladies to tie extremely long hair back (like hangin round the backside length). Nor remove their big bobby dazzlers before joining a dance class. Also requests from men and taxi dancers to the culprits go unheeded as well, not helped by lack of support from the top. Plan Z required, anyone out there recognise this problem in their studio, and if so how was it sorted??

I think a bobby dazzler is a big ring Sheena. Same could go for mens watches, and them bl**dy charity wrist bands. The amount of times i've had my hair pulled on those. Alot of men seem to like being swished with long hair anyway.
What is a booby Dazzler, then??Originally Posted by Cruella
Too right! we do. Just the hair, not the hair bands with flowery things nor the ball bearings either!Originally Posted by Cruella
I guess that is an adornment for a pierced nipple.Originally Posted by Raul

At least someone out there knows wot a booby dazzler is. Yes, a big rock planted on a band of metal. lol. Fantastic tool for scratching ones hands on. Watches, yes, another irritating annoyance, along with cell phones left in side pockets but at least when you shame the guys responsible, no worries, they oblige. But these chicks with horse tails, (plaited ones just as bad) - what's with them ? Do they think they are that special? As a taxi dancer I don't enjoy being whipped across the face, made blind to the point of disorientation and then find on execution of a return, oh joy, oh joy, that I'm going to have some extra dinner as I spit out the hair that's ended up in my mouth when I've opened my mouth to say something. Shame on those chicks that do this! Perhaps I should hire more bobby dazzlers, one for each finger, invest in an extremely long wig, make sure I pick out the owner of the studio, and "work that wig" to its maximum damage potential, ha ha.

That's Bobby Dazzler mate, not the same thing!Originally Posted by kiwichook
But thanks for the clarification, Bobby Dazzlers are not a problem if you dance Blues. (well they could be if you don't dance properly)
I know a couple of girls who have those....Originally Posted by Cruella

My hair comes down passed my shoulders and i am always apologising for it, but men dont seem to mind, I actually think tho its worse when it is tied up as the hair is in the same place and slaps you at a greater force!

So, when we dancing?!?Originally Posted by ducasi
My hair is really fine though so I don't think it would do anyone much harm even it tied back.Originally Posted by drathzel
No chunky rings (no rings at all actually) and I take my watch off before I dance.
I like long swishy hair as well; doesn't bother me. If it's tied back it is, obviously, more grouped and hits you with a little more force (especially if your partner has a really fast return). It's kinda good fun though .Originally Posted by drathzel
I think that all men & women should remove all jewellery that is on arms or hands before dancing, I know I always do, except wedding rings I guess. I've lost track of the number of really nice tops that have been destroyed by getting snagged on a guys watch! I know one guy who was really hurt by a girl's bracelet with a great big anchor charm on it, it worked just like a fishing hook, lodging itself in his hand as she started spinning, ouch!
As for long hair, I agree, girls with really long hair should leave it down, tied up in a plait, or even just a pony tail, just turns it into a length of rope to whack anyone in close enough proximity (great was to create space on the dance floor, I guess!).
Having hair that is long enough to get in the way, but too short to tie up, I wish guys (who do not suffer with this) would refrain from dancing right in front of the bleedin' fan!
I object - this is just an attempt - just like the banning of stilettos on the dance floor in case we get trodden on - to end our fun. Some of us have to pay serious dosh for this kind of treatment off the dance floor.Originally Posted by TiggsTours
long hair on a girl is nice. (generally)
long hair swishing you gently as she passes (be it return, spin, etc) is nice also.
a pony tail swishing u round the neck, or anywhere not sore on the face has it's positives, too.
a plaited pony tail nearly knocking out an eye is somewhat less than pleasant.
I am sure this has come up b4: I am a long haired guy (sometimes tailed, but NEVER plaited!! lol...) and am wholly unaware of what my hair is doing as I dance: albeit I do tend to spin less than the average follower...
An aside: one thing that was brought to my attention recently- the idea of my kilt "swooshing" my partners legs if I spin more energetically or closer to my partner. Not sore I would hope, but would it work?
Assuming your partner's skirt isn't tripping you up, do "leaders" appreciate being "swooshed" by their partner's skirt?
