Guest Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 But because of my age i can assure you when i go to dance i will get looked at and maybe they will talk to there friend next to them and say look at that prick dancing and ok i am not the world's best and neither do i want to be but i just dance to the song and forget about anyone else cause really i have no time for people who pick on someone else (especially if they don't know them) I can honestly say wpaul - that the northern scene is the only scene where a man can get up and dance first without fear of ridicule I often go to do's on my own, turn up, dance and leave without even talking to anyone. Couldnt give a bollocks what people think of me - I love the music - and I need my fix. I dont think anyone out on a night (that counts) thinks that anyone who dances, no matter how they dance is a prick, I certainly wouldnt. I might have a certain idea about what looks best what style of dance I like to see - but as far as I'm conserned as long as your dancing yer alright with me! How old are you anyway - I take it your either 90 or 9??
Madmandy Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 At least we don't have to worry about being burnt by cigarrettes on the dance floor anymore... however the acrobatics are a bit lethal at times, and a mate of mine got a right slap across the face by an over enthusiastic spinner at Kings Hall, it knocked her off her feet. ( hehe ) oh and handbaggers high heels hurt like hell when you get stamped on by one not to mention tripping over the bloody handbag ! I was at a function and some drunk on the dancefloor was spinning and pulled the grip holing my hair in place clean out and sent it across the dancefloor where I had to go search for it amongst the dancing legs!
Barry Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 I don't know about the comment re dj's giving it a big diatribe at the beginning of their sets!? I too like to hear something from the bloke that has spent his hard-earned cash (see 'life') getting to the point whereby he is deemed able enough to give us floor fodder his knowledge by a promoter. The poor bugger travels all the way from wherever (for naff all in monetary terms), waits for his set, gets on (heart in mouth (understanding the 80% of dancers will enjoy his choices, yet secretly frets about the 20% that will gripe about one or two plays he makes), gets over his nerves, as he takes the mic, by rattling on for maybe 20 seconds before his opening salvo - and - before he's even played a record, he's in someones bad books. Lighten up, or get a jukebox.
Guest Posted August 6, 2008 Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) Lighten up, or get a jukebox. Well I had hoped this thread would be positive! About all the things we liked or that were special about the northern scene! Why does this forum always come back to problems???? Come on FFS! whats good about it... For example: I Love it when folks get carried away in a "soul moment" I really like it when that first person gets up to dance or when the dancefloor clears, except for that one dancer, who loves that track and is going to dance to it whether anyone else is or not like thier life depended on it... I love the look of concentration on their face when they realise that all eyes are on them... I love the fact that they dont care because for that three minutes they are lost in one of those soul moments... and you can see it in there eyes! Most of all I love that there are very few of us who would consider the above folk weird for getting carried away... Magic Edited August 6, 2008 by jhsoulnotts

Guest nonstopsandie Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 one thing that used to really p*ss me off,was with a full dance floor dj,s after the record finished start to give a sermon before playing the next sound whist dancers mop their brow,scratch their nose turn around,put hands on hips as though to say f**kin get on with it,and by the time they do,half of the dancers have left the floor,or the buzz as passed and the dj as missed the moment,some djs just dont get it,there more intrested in hearing their own voices..than reading the floor..not dissing all djs there are of course many exellent spinners.just a personal gripe.
Guest Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 I get annoyed when a DJ announces every tune, i like a few back to back, even time for a quick clap if a records gone down really well but a dj is a disc jockey, not a commentator. Sounds a bit amateur from time to time. Really like hearing a DJ who is funny, you know, lighthearted, maybe says i picked this up for a 5er when its a big record or you know, something similar. Talking in between records does seem to be a northern thing, alot of other do's just do back to back all night. That's why God invented mixing
