I think you will find I'm right, as usual, Alison :P

Oh christ, just seen this (after I'd posted) So it's definitely Rose then? 100% ??

If it is, Rose

I owe you a big apology Rose (& yes I know I owe you an apology Pete :rolleyes: ), but you looked slightly different then (only slightly) :thumbsup:

Sorry Pete :thumbsup:

Winnie, im a dancer too not as good as i once was as i have trouble with the old legs .........but i too hear a decent record and im the first up full or empty dancefloor .......but i do know my limits :D

how do you know youre limits are not "div"ish. maybe he thinks he knows his limits.if we all thought we were up for scrutiny maybe nobody would dance for fear of negative feedback?

Please read post 16 i didn`t say "div"ish the point i was making was if he is going to attempt to do all the acrobatics at least make sure you can pull them off :yes: I know for a fact my limits arn`t "div"ish as you so nicely put it :thumbsup: but then again this is mho only like the posts ive made :)

Correction to oneself post 24 i did say div I just felt cruel saying K**b again :wicked:

:ohmy: Nick, how can you be so nasty about someone you haven't met, just by going on their dancing, or how they choose to spend their soul lives.

As life and time passes on - is it not proven by the soulfully educated that dancing is "lesser respected" and is some what held lower in the respectable pecking order these days. :yes: .

I'm more of a lurker on SS than a regular contributor as my evidenced by my number of postings. Don't really take exception to much that's posted - varied opinions because we're all pretty varied folk. I do take exception to a conceited individual like Nick who determines what is a cool style of dance and what is 'div dancing'. I see dancers who I think are better than me and I see dancers who I think are worse than me. Does it bother me? Does it fcuk! Are they enjoying themselves? Am I enjoying myself? Does their manner of dance impinge on me and my enjoyment of the niter? The answers should be self-evident. Live and let live. Sad bugger (Nick, that is)

the dancing is why the scene exists but having said that how each individual does it makes no differance at all, the idea of someone filming while your dancing flips my stomach if i went on youtube and saw myself wobbling about it would shatter all my illusions of what im thinking while up there and probably lead to a ebay advert for several pairs of well hammerd shoes.

Julie, as we both know dancing like that was so acceptabled by the "norman soul scene" 30 plus years earlier. So let's move forward and those's who still fashion these "inherited" moves for the sake of the "embarassing soul heritage" are complete fecking full on div's :yes:.

And I suppose blowing whistles is so hip eh? FFS Acceptabled? haha Edited by Marky Tee

Nick frequently takes the moral high ground by slagging off Northern Soul and the "unenlightened" who did not make the "natural progression" into house music, whistles and all. Laugh I almost passed me fags round. Did I hear a whistle then?

Thats how it should be done :thumbsup: I was questioning the cartwheels and stuff which he failed at miserably but this is great dancing :thumbsup:

She's good, totally lost in the music and an an emphasis on footwork, not showing off throwing yourself about totally "NOT" in rhythm to the music. Said it before I watch many of these doing acrobatics and wonder what they are dancing to.

Ipod dancer

I think if you stopped the music Rob they would carry one throwing themselves about as it is obvious they are never dancing to what is being currently played. I love watching the acrobats but it has to be in time to the breaks etc, spin where you are meant to spin.

One of my fave clips, yellow shirt. She just gets better and better as the clip goes on.

What an awesome dancer! The dictionary definition of dancing is 'Moving the feet/body in time to music', and what I have a real problem with is the ridiculous and overly energetic acrobatics, whatever age the person performing them is. They are never in time to the music, so how can they be part of dancing. I get the feeling that many of the 'dancers' that practice these moves are frustrated gymnasts, and are waiting for people round the edge of the floor to hold up scorecards.

Indeed Chalky :thumbsup: 100%

a real good dancer is one that can interpret the various tempos played out there at venues and not just throw themselves with no other moves but it each to their own do what you wanna do and enjoy and its time those piss poor dance comps were junked :lol:

I was going to ask this myself but you beat me to it, I've seen a few photos and videos of people wearing them. What is the matter with them? (by the way I did wear them myself back in the day).

Try reading the post, Paul said the dancing is the reason the scene exists, you added in the ''acrobatic'' for dramatic effect.
