======== Used to be a venue in Bedford ran by Danny and Frank, "The Dujon" that used to have mirrors on the pillars. It was quite funny, now you see yourself, now you don't. Think I've been to that on the rocks, does it have a sparkly dancefloor? Winnie:-)

========== I've got both avatars running at the same time

===== give it a couple more years

=========== Sounds like a dowry to me, you've just become someones beeiiitch

======= I think she's got a pretty good voice, and enjoyed listening to the first album, but think she is current, and I'm not sure she could do justice to any northern sounds. Winnie:-)

=============== Most of the people I chat to, when dancing does come up, would probably say it's time to lose the acrobatics. Personally if I was still able to do them a) gracefully without injuring myself I would, but I can't. I think spinning is still allowed, and providing it's done at the right time (appropriate break) looks fine. As other comments further on in this thread have mentioned the footwork is paramount IMO, which is why in general I think girls are far better dancers than boys. They seem to feel the music better, and of course are usually more graceful than the male of the species. I could name 5 girl dancers straight off who really cut the mustard on the floor, whereas with guys I don't think it's that easy. I've seen many good droppers and good spinners, but normally they struggle to keep with the beat of a record, cos there whole routine is geared around the spin, or the acrobatics. Somebody else said, it's about actually dancing to the record playing, and I've seen a few people dancing to Ruby Andrews who were clearly hearing cochise in their heads Winnie:-)

========== Just don't start throwing your knickers at me Winnie:-)

========= Why? did he have big boots?

=========== Joseph Webster, awesome!!

========== Hi Boots, Wasn't talking about you on this occasion, but now you mention it, I do have fond memories of that night It made me make the transition from northern to modern Winnie:-)

=========== Caz's fella is 'tall Paul', and he won't mind that you think she's a good dancer and neither will Caz ::--)) Have you ever seen her go into a drop sequence? Splits and everything. Personally if I could still drop, I would, but father time has decreed it's not to be, and if I were a member I'm sure BUPA would agree with him

========== But you can't dance

========= yeah I've seen it.....it is rather jolly isn't it

=========== Does cause a bit of a problem space wise when you plonk that pole in the floor though. You're much better when using your spacial awareness technique of one on one lap dancing

====== Col, you need to have Karen Crane on hand, she carries a defibrilator in her handbag......least she told me it was a defibrilator, I might have misheard

============= Ta, but struggle to pass water at my age :-)

====== Aretha/Marvin Gaye

============= Could name so many that I 'have' to dance to.....suppose Toby Legend comes to mind cos of the lyrics, the emotion etc. Currently love Coco and Ben..... a modernish sound, which I find completely irresistable ;-) Winnie:-)

========= This really made me giggle, excellent ;-)

=========== Used to like hearing Jimmy Cobb at the Ritz

========= Marlena Shaw is the Willington ender as I recall

======= Tall Paul, think he's from the Manchester/bolton........yeah he's from up North ;-)

======== what an excellent post!
