If you saw people frowning could be that it was because they were all concentrating on the counting going on in their heads. That's my excuse!Originally Posted by DavidJames

A very good point - the class I attend is run by a Line Dancer. In the last class I went to less than half the people dance MJ at all. I wouldn't expect any of the "other half" to be able to lead / follow MJ, even though there as some people who seem to be able to work out how to adapt their style to MJ very quickly, just by watching.Originally Posted by spikey blond
When I'm at a dance, for each song I think can I Lindy? if not can I WCS? and then oh well MJ it is then. Clearly this limits my choice of partner (severely so around here). But I will have a bash with people who ask for a dance, so I hope I don't come over as (too?) snooty

I saw you! And I said "Hi" - you were probably too snooty to dance with me thoughOriginally Posted by spikey blond
Fair enough - but did you notice the complete and utter lack of anything vaguely resembling a blues set in the swing/blues room?Originally Posted by spikey blond
As has been said many times, 'snooty' or 'unfriendly' is one of those judgements which is only valid from the outside. I've yet to meet a member of any group who says "yeah, actually, we are a clique"Originally Posted by spikey blond
The main room was friendlier than the Swing room - that's what I felt, and I think most people who'd tried both would agree.
Hmmm.... I don't believe it was Blues, it was "slower" maybe, but certainly way too fast for AT (which is my definition of the Right Music For Blues of course ) Admittedly, I wasn't there all the time, but I went back there at least half-a-dozen times after 11pm to check, and none of it felt blue-y to me.Originally Posted by spikey blond

Sorry DavidJames, haven't yet managed to put toooo many faces to Forumites, so I don't know who you are - hope I said 'Hi' back!!
Nah, you ignored me - but hell, I expected that from you snooty people...Originally Posted by spikey blond
You didn't ask me for a danceOriginally Posted by DavidJames
Well, obviously, I was joining in with the clique and practicing being snooty...Originally Posted by Alice
Anyway - to Minnie M for sorting out the cakes at the end!
And I grabbed a coffee before the machine broke, so to me too...
I probably would have been too snooty to accept, anywayOriginally Posted by DavidJames
for the biscuits at the end though Just what we needed
There was cake?!
[QUOTE=Lory]I imagine your talking about WCS dancers?
Well, I've only been doing West coast since January, therefore, I 'need' the slower music to do it properly, if I try to dance it to faster music, I automatically revert to MJ mode
Lory you are a great dancer
I know with the right lead you can dance westcoast to faster music
Personally i prefer to mix dance styles if it fits the music, where does westcoast end and lindy or MJ begin.
I think people get way to concerned about what type of dance they are doing. for me and many others dance is simply about interpretation of music.
there wasn't any cake (well except for some cup-cakes) just a very large selection of very yummy biscuitsOriginally Posted by Dreamer
