    Funky Lush Sun - Whats it like?

    Hiya all,

    Thinking on driving down to London for this Sun.


    Whats Funky Lush like tho?
    I read that the music is a mix of WCS and Jango.


    Is the theme for Funky Lush - "if it is a WCS track - you must WCS to it"

    This isn't a slight on WCS or anything - I just wanna know if Funky-Lush is a chance for WCS dancers to dance - and should be left that way.


    Is it 50% WCS dancing approx?
    Are the WCS tracks Leroc-able/Jango-able (Hope u luv my terminology here! )

    My WCS is pretty non existant... I just can't get/remember the footwork...

    I'm a pretty laid back kinda dancer, and can quite happily slow it all down to the music etc.... but what about the other dancers?


    Cheers
    Martin

    If it's like the inaugural event, and hopefully it will be, then 95%, probably more, of the dancing you'll see will be modern jive. There are no rules about what you dance.

    The music last time was a delightfully varied mix of bluesy, latiny, tangoy, slowish to mid-tempo stuff, with heaps of interesting interpretable content.

    And the dancers were mostly the sort of people that tend to prefer that to pop music.

    So if you like that sort of thing, come on down. MJ will be fine, WCS too if you feel like it. No pressure.

    It's Funky and Lushy, what more information do you want?

    Don't be silly, it's much more fun making up silly names.

    Seriously, I'll probably pop along to the next Sat evening one, as long as I'm free. Or, you know, not washing my hair or something.

    Awww shame you guys can't make it!

    To be honest with you, I'm touch and go as well... Bit unwell from last week. (Well, 2 days off work, and up to eyeballs in antibiotics etc!...) Being reasonably sensible....Tywford is off for me, but I was hoping I'd pick up in time for Sun's FL....

    I was going to decide about whether I'd be well enough to go to FL this morning, and call around to everyone etc... Not looking good.... I'm now leaving it to tommorow morning!


    Unless I feel ALOT better by tommorow morning - I'll leave it this time around. I also don't want to give others a fluey cold as well! I'm past the contagious period, but still...!


    Cheers
    Martin



    PS:
    Forgive me all for driveling on... cough cough....!

    ahhhhhh Funky Lush, based in the green pastures of Southall, were east meets west, equally a fusion of dance styles and souls meet and mix in a bowl of spicey to chilled tracks from the wheels of steel of the Obe One Kenobe (feel the force).
    High ceilings and simple surrounds and a sound floor is all there.
    As to the faces, welcome to the dark side, yes contingents from West Coast Swing enjoy the slower to more moderate tempos, allowing jivers to slink down into blues. From speakers afar beats in exces sof 120 per minute alos pulse raising temp and pulses alike.
    Its all things for all dancers, welocme to the dark side Luke.

    ....awww keith mate...

    You are not making me feel any better - if I can't it tommorrow! I know what you are talking about tho - and it sounds a fantastic way to while away a sunday afternoon.


    ...umm... but I've read some of the prev thread on Funky Lush - it is a cold kinda venue? (High ceillings etc, great for summer - winter - brave it you healthy dancers!)


    ...not really a problem if you are dancing all the time... but I've a feeling I'll be pacing myself etc. (Man, I hate being under weather - and having to take these things into consideration!)


    Yours sincerely
    ...astmatically wheezing martin!
