Tonight saw James Richardson as teacher, Suzanne Berson as
demo and Chris Uren as DJ. Tonight Chris and Rachel Uren brought along their
new born baby Jorja. She is so gorgeous. A few of the ladies managed to get a
cuddle with her.
Tonight's intermediate routine looks like this:
The teaching was good thanks to James. The hardest part is
the last move. When you turn the lady (follow) you have to turn the other way
at the same time, then keep the lady (follow) turning until she can't turn no
more and then comb her hair. See the video above. Just make sure you go the
opposite way to the lady (follow) on the turn.
The class as a whole was really good. It was hot there
tonight. I had so much fun. It was the best night I've had. We had some good
news tonight. St Chads wasn't allowing us to use the hall on bank holidays but
now they are. It took some doing by the people who work behind the bar and the
caretaker. Thank you for doing this. I got lots of good dances with people.
Tonight's music was really good as always thanks to Chris.
My favourite song of the night was the last one played. The Way You Make Me
Feel by Kurt Hunter. Here is the song from YouTube:
This song is very slow. It is great for those who have been
doing the blues class as you can do some. It's good for people who like to
dance close and those who like to wiggle. This song can be danced to as a slow
version of Ceroc (modern jive) or bluesy or a mix of both. I like to dance a
bit close with the guy and wiggle. It has to be the right guy. For me it has to
be someone I know I can dance close with or know a bit to try to dance close
with.
I want to know, what do you think about dancing close with
people? Do you like doing it? Can you only do it with certain people and if so
what sort of people? It's it always the same people you do it with? Let me know
what you think.
I am looking forward to Wednesday night at Queen’s Hall in Leeds, 8pm.
If you fancy coming down next week to learn Ceroc (modern jive) or just want to try somewhere new it’s Monday at St Chads in Leeds on Otley Road. Starts at 7:30pm
Check out ceroc.com for your local venue.
