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.

The mother of them all,gotta be.......combinations "whatcha' gonna do" should carry a government health warning,also seriously bad for your bank account,if you can ever find one,lol

I struggle with anything from Swan Lake, can't get up on my toes like I used to.

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!!!! sweatingbullets.gif:D 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!! :D

Take care, be safe & dance within your limits,

Spot. :D

I didn't drink in the 70's and now I'm always driving :D I do have little boogie to the Empires in my front room with a nice Merlot though.

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 rolleyes.gif ... I called his dance,Man going for a shit :D i have be known to copy that style the odd time :D ...

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 :D

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...

In the words of Jimmy Rix "oooooooooooooh what a feeling,you got me rockin and a reeling"

I find "If you loved me by Peggy marsh difficult as it has so many changes of tempo and sometimes almost grinds to a halt!

Still love it tho

Mand :D

Loved dancing to that monster but would leave the floor just before the crazy ending,the few who were left were taking away by the men in white coats :lol: ..Not many have taken on the end of that tune,well i aint seen that many,just a few with a bit of 4 star rocket fuel inside them..

:shades: I love that track n dont find it too hard to dance to (but maybe thats cuz I have a natural limp? :lol: )

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!) :rolleyes:

:rolleyes::shades::lol:

I'm sat here with tears in my eyes thinking of the man going for a shit dance!

I personally struggle with a few of the slow ones. Agree with Delasoul on Ray Charles though...love that song but am usually too busy singing along to keep the tempo! :lol:

Maxine Brown - The Magic Touch. Intro sounds perfect but I can never get my feet to move in time to that bloody tune.

Always figured that the DJ's at Wigan realized when the amphetamines kicked in at the maximum level and would put Black Power - James Coit on the decks and watch as people tried to keep up with that madness.

I couldn't!

I think that was a mate of ours, he closed his eyes to let out a sly one, but all that dancin had janged his pipes and he followed thru' we call it touchin cloth. The moves he did gettin to the loo he could have danced to piny & Perky on 78rpm never mind the Royal Esquires.

Guest in town Mikey

Willie Tee - Please Dont Go

The lyrics are sung at a meandering pace that belies the manic beat of the accompanying music. I always get caught out by this one.

At least with tracks like Manifesto or Black Power, it does exactly what it says on the tin.

Had a step about to this Del Larks number on Saturday which Ady kindly played for me. Early doors & an empty floor. Top tune (imo), but a killer to dance to with the constant tempo changes ...

DEL_LARKS___OUT_OF_THE_IN_CROWD_JET.mp3

Sorry about MP3 mods (one off) refosoul says no...

It don't work anyway Ian.

Ohh I have managed to squeezze 20 seconds out of it.
