Ged Parker Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Pat Powdrill was a killer even back in the 70's. What about the Triumphs -I'm coming to your rescue. Or a class tune that is just the wrong tempo to dance to The Empires - You're On Top Girl. Just love this but a hard one to dance comfortably to.

spot Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 towanda barnes - you don't mean it Think I just about managed to dance to, "Triumphs - Coming to your rescue", at Earl of Donny when Chris Dalton played it & yes it was hard!!!! But as Kirsty says "Towanda Barnes", now that is a killer, can't dance to it now, couldn't dance to it when I was 20 (couple of years ago!) & will never be able to dance to it while ever I've got a hole in my ar*e, unless I want a heart attack!! Take care, be safe & dance within your limits, Spot. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Little-stevie Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) I think its harder to dance to some real downbeat stuff...Many have filled the floor to super stompers but don't really know what to do when a deeeeeeeeep down funeral march,slash your wrist soul track is played...Oooooh i do like a few of them thrown in... A good few deeeep soul tracks could be heard in the 90s at all niters..There was a guy who would stand on the spot,very little movement,eyes closed and a little shiver of is upper half now and again,real emotion indeed,i loved to see him on the dancefloor as much as any of the circus acts ... I called his dance,Man going for a shit i have be known to copy that style the odd time ... Thats the point with dancing,some just think about all the fast stuff,i love to dance to soul in all its forms... Well maybe not the 300mph stuff,just a liitle to frantic for a quiet lad like me...Each to there own... I hope you can all put on deeeeeeeeeeeeep soul record at home tonight and do the "man going for shit"..close the curtains first though,people could think you are having a stroke good bless all the dancers and each to there own...Without them we would not have a scene,well not one that i and many would want...

Or a class tune that is just the wrong tempo to dance to The Empires - You're On Top Girl. Just love this but a hard one to dance comfortably to. I love that track n dont find it too hard to dance to (but maybe thats cuz I have a natural limp? ) One tune I love though and do find incredibly hard to have a go at (or if I do try, I look pathetic) is Ray Charles-I dont need no doctor (bit toooooo fast for me!)
