Ugly women/men don’t get dances

[Lory]

I often do

Stewart, I can't seem to recall the last time you asked me to dance

[WittyBird]

Count your blessing sweetheart

[horsey_dude]

Being too good looking can be a bit of a curse too though.... I have seen exceptionally attractive girls who seem to get asked a to dance a lot less, and when when they do get asked it is by the creepier/sleazier guys. I think that good looks are definately going to get you asked more to start with which is unfair but that's life.


If you are not blessed in the looks department then putting the work in at class and going to workshops will give you the edge everytime in the long run...

[Twirly]

It sounds as if the looks might get you the first dance, but if you can’t dance, then you’re not so likely to get asked again – don’t they say in sales that it’s the repeat business that counts rather than the one off purchase?

[WittyBird]

They do indeed, but sometimes a one off is just as nice

I was told I couldn't follow

Um what were you doing with me then at Slinkys

and that I would never be a good dancer unless I stopped dancing with relatively inexperienced dancers.

True for a given value of "good" as Terry Pratchet might say......

I once watched two people freeform acting. X was a good dancer, but Y hadn't done any dance at all; but the characters they were playing were the complete opposite! I watched in wonder as X said
"So you're a good dancer - show me". The dance they did
a) was wonderful
b) looked for all the world like Y was the skilled dancer doing all the leading
(There was a truckload of backleading going on, but it didn't show)

To each their own. I'd agree that dancing with a range of dancers is a good thing. But beyond that - well put bluntly, if you can only dance with people who are as good as or better than you it's got to be really lonely at the top

Dance in beauty,

Can't believe I've completely missed this thread - I've really not been with it have I?

Anyway, just thought I should pick up on this way back on page 1

Do you honestly think ... Tessa etc are dancing with women based on their looks?

- Damn straight, I only dance with beautiful women. Keeps the men watching on the sidelines entertained much better that way. Good thing all my favourite ladies are beautiful innit really?

Good-looking men, on the other hand, I can take or leave, if they're a decent lead. If not, they'd better either be really good fun, or decent looking, or dance next to someone who is, so I've got something to look at while I'm dancing.

Very well said Miss Licious

I did wonder why you always veered towards the directions where them hunky guys were dancing and I had no choice but FOLLOW (of all things). Now, with that explanation of yours it all becomes clear.

Note to self: blindfold her next time beforehand.

[Tessalicious]

Aww honey, if you ever danced with me anymore ( ) you'd know that all you need to do is make it clear who's boss and you'd have my full attention. But if I'm badly behaved with you, imagine how much I 'veer' when I'm dancing with boring, unattractive men who can't dance (not mentioning any names of course)!

I'm b*ggered then! am neither good looking nor a decent lead !!

Can't possibly judge on either of those, having never met you, but you are a self-professed geek, so you gain a few bonus points in my books!

Oh sweety, flattery gets you anywhere

Note to self, remember blindfold and also bring whip and handcuffs

[Dazzler]

Well if this thread is right and ugly people only get asked to dance if they are a great lead...then i assume that alot of people at venues think i am someone else

[andystyle]

I've been at Ceroc only a wee while, but from what I can see at the venues, everyone is up and dancing at some point. Whether good-looking or not, at the end of the day we're there on an evening to dance - personally, I'll dance with anyone willing to dance with me, looks are irrelevant. I would imagine someone who picks dances solely on looks would get sussed out sooner or later, and that can only be to their detriment

Good call I just dance with anyone and I have a few favourite dancecers case they are good follows and a good laugh whilst dancing!

[Clueless]

Blue like some people have said: when dancing it should be ability over looks.

I sometimes watch the dancer and ask myself what is their style like do they look like they are following well and if they seem to be having a good time? and then go to ask then if thay are taken before I approach them, I just ask anyone in close proximity.

Simple reason really I love to dance and 'judge' on ability

[stewart38]

Stewart, I can't seem to recall the last time you asked me to dance

Ashtons last time I saw you
