Dancing is great. Great exercise, great fun and a way to meet great people.

It can get better still with a wider range of music. With dance games/challenges. With the full gamut of dips, drops and leans. With a little go at lead/follow swap over. With a mix of steady rock n’ roll mixed with expressive rather than simply one style all night. With what you might call entertainment thrown in. With the opportunity to dance to whatever you choose. The lyrics, piano, guitar etc rather than just the standard beat. With all that, time flies faster than ever.

I know what is possible as Megan described it as euphoric.

I did spend a lot of time learning the follow. Lead sharing is a thing but the take up will always be limited. Most men have little interest in following. About 20% of women have some interest, the rest much less so. At the very least the move ‘spin me’ where the lady spins the man is a good starting point. And probably as far as it will go.

One day I will find the solution to our catch-22 problem, and me and Caz will create something super. A dance night comprising of two hours of mayhem. Controlled mayhem with dance lessons that make learning easier. I know what is possible. I simply want others to have a distraction away from the humdrum of life and release their inner child in a grown-up way. Life ought to be fun, does it not. It can be as I have experienced the fun of mayhem and excitement.

In the meantime, we continue to film all moves in dance. We will also enjoy making films of various routines. The past couple of years on this project has been a most excellent experience. I will always be thankful to Caz (and Gina for her assistance in the early period before she moved south.)

If you have an hour a week spare and want to come along to make this thing a thing....
