steve Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) So what's your favourite dance floor, I realise it's only personal opinion. I've purposely not asked for the least favourite as that could be a bit contentious In no particular order Stoke Aqua (do they still have soul nights there) Rugby (both rooms) Willington Goodyears Brighouse Ritz That'll do for a start, any others worth a mention?

Guest chrislokeh Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 Was a proper dance studio, KGB dance school, Sprung dancefloor and did it Bounce. Yes it was.I was gutted when i went back to the KGB and found out the old nighter place was a snooker hall and the soul night was in the back room.

Guest Droylsdonian Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 I can't say I was too impressed with the floor in T K Maxx, Stockport. If you are going to play AS's 'You've been gone too long' as part of your loop, nationwide, you have a responsibility to provide a decent floor, imco.

Rob Wigley Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The thing about Brid spa is 4 out of the 5 rooms are dance floors wall to wall--all Canadian Maple as well. main room at Brid is fully sprung, its also reputedly the largest sprung dance floor in Europe! My first dance on my new knee was on there as well...... I always enjoyed the challenge of the 100 Club floor is it me or does it slope as well ? Love it !

Roburt Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 RE: WHISPERIN BOB .......... That guy came on the 1998 US Soul Trip to Vegas .......... he was a real pain in the arse; made me think his name should have been WHISPERIN KNOB !!! ........ BTW, does Pontins Prestatyn still count as a 'current venue' ??? If so, I nominate the mainroom dance floor there. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Soul Glo Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Kings Hall, Kent Soul club, Nantwich Civic Hall, fantastic venue and dance floor. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Sharon Cooper Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Prestatyn main hall was top notch imo, followed by Stoke Kings Hall and Sheffield City Hall Sharon Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

ZootSuit Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) Not familiar with ANY of the places previously mentioned although the Mecca and Torch had decent flooors, BUT, if you can dance the floor should'nt matter, having said that New years eve went up to the Fist Full of Soul do,I wont comment on the floor, sounds were great BUT like dancing on treacle, BEST floor had to B the Devils Den at the California ball room, been off ceen for 35 years, till Kimbo and co dragged me out of retirement, recent top floor had to b the the Pembo, magic flooor......no talc required, hope the new venue is as good Edited April 7, 2012 by ZootSuit Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chalky Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Can we please refrain from posting adverts for clubs in this section. Please use the events forum for that. By all means mention a venue and maybe post a picture but no blatant advertising. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Pete Eccles Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 So what's your favourite dance floor, I realise it's only personal opinion. I've purposely not asked for the least favourite as that could be a bit contentious In no particular order Stoke Aqua (do they still have soul nights there) Rugby (both rooms) Willington Goodyears Brighouse Ritz That'll do for a start, any others worth a mention?
