Ahhh The youngster ! Hes also a friend on myspace and Ktf Not seen him dance Or is there a youtube clip of him somewhere???

LOL wooden spoons at the ready eh? I shouldnt really say taught the blokes moves I should say passed them on and pinched them off all the great dancers at notts palais (bigging that club up ) my mecca

Whats his real name where does he hail from? or soul club ? Mand

I ve only seen Steve on function at the junction short film But I do know hes "legendary" and a bloody nice fellow! And Mr Churm but of course! very good also! I like it when clubs name drop dancers too.... good for publicity

hes a member of SS isnt he? Not heard of sounds of blackness But Ive just added a new friend to myspace called Roy Young ...what a singer! Sounds like Otis Redding

OOER Missus!! PMSL You know he'll get you back for that hes still reading !! Cmon then Kev are you a floor watcher? whos your fave dancer

OOOOO Pete a lighthouse family fan eh? Love thier uplifting music!

Hey Barry You still are mate (I dont mean old and knackered!!) But a little like Ed! who posted above! Dont you wish they had camcorders and you tube back in the day? Mand

Can you remember who taught you your moves ? I remember teaching some of the local lads some of the floorwork moves on our front garden I watched the lads at the palais then went home and taught them to my brother who then taught some of his mates Funny how things like that catch on I cant do those moves today but I can still somersault on trampoline and Im working on my back flips I wouldnt use them on the dancefloor tho

I love to watch the movers and shakers Pete I can still do a bit myself but keep the acrobatics for the bedroom PMSL IM JOKING!!!! Yes I love to dance even now I watch the other dancers while Im not on the floor tho Mand

I would love to see it!

Now then Ed I did say todays best dancers But by the looks of this thread I dont think we have any!!! Ive seen the dance comp youtube clips of alfreton and there are some great dancers on there Andy Cannon being one of them I always feel cheated if someone starts of well then fizzles out after 30 seconds tho ! Mand

Btw Good thread Moggy!

When I feel the need Marvin Gaye Mand

OOOH bugger forgot to mention Andy Cannon I think hes a Pilsley Regular Very good on the floor! Mand

Just wondering who we think are the best northern dancers today My choice would be female : Sam Evans or Jo? Cooper? Clare Gees friend both great shufflers fast footed and good movers And for male still with all the moves Carl Piper But bear in mind that Im in the midlands Anyone else care to add? PS you tube clips might help folks make a decision Cheers Mand

I also know a guy called Johnny boy who has backing tracks to sing to but I thought there was a way to fade out the original singer to be left with the music alone Any ides? Mand

Hi Kirsty Im gettin that now.... my blokey is gettin tired of N/S every weekend and we go out together!! Mand

Here !!!! (waves hand in air) Im still dancin Matey!!!! You ask Mark Bicknell!!! Mand :O)

My very first taste was needle in a haystack which got me dancing my very first soulful steps out on the floor But I love the Joe Tex choon Mand PS forgot the say by the velvelettes on motown label ( maybe not that soulful )...but I got there!!

LOVE IT!!! Mand

Hi Sean Im sorry I cant help you with this one I was a regular at Notts Palais in those days but I hardly knew a soul...ie! I went to dance and thats what I did! I know very few folks I met in those days ... Only a small group from my village and a few folks from mansfield who Ive recently met back up with. Mand ( billy no mates)

Your totally right the needle never moves from the edge of the record how strange Have we been had??? Mand

I think the ability to read the dancefloor is essential what Djs have to remember is he/she will judged as good or crap dependant on what happens on the piece of wood in front of them!!! Atho Ido have some favorite Dj's locally I find once I say I like them they go and play the crappest set ever!!! I have also known one Dj play a whole set to an empty dancefloor ( he hasn't been invited back to that club since) Ive also seen Dj's play all their loved ones favourites and theyve been virtually the only people on the dancefloor All I ask is for djs to look at the dancefloor if no one is on it play summat else And before anyone pipes up there are folks who don't dance to consider I agree with that too BUT...if they come to and oldies do expect that policy if they go to a modern do expect that that policy I expect clubs to do what they say on the flyer Mand

I would be up dancing all night to this lot Afterall Im an oldies fan and they do what they say on the can Mand
