Chris Head Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Having just spent the afternoon and evening and night with perhaps 30 of our French freinds and neighbours I'm just ashamed at my inability to dance. I need to learn....I love music, I listen to it all day, I work to it but I just can't move to it! Any dance teachers in the Creuse or anyone who can shift their butt enough to make me not embarass myself?Hopefully, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tresco Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 It is the duty of all Englishmen to make abject fools of themselves on dance floors. French men do, so you must do better.[:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Head Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 The boat dance! Great idea. There's also a health & safety issue, 90 kilos of unco-ordinated Englishman hurtling around the floor can get a bit dangerous! Where we live there's a party on every weekend somewhere, the summer is a busy time! Right off to the barn to practice a devastating move!Happy Sunday.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 >>>Chris - teach your neighbours the 'Boat Dance' and be done with it!<<<Or the Conga! and they'll teach you Cérock! Can't decide which of all these dances is most cringeing!...Anyway nothing wrong with a bit of 'Dad (or Mum) dancing'... If its gets your kids to run away from you and leave you to enjoy the party : I'll do my 'Mumdancing' routine! anyparty, anytime... I always win! Then some suave git (not too inhebriated if poss or there is no fun in it if he is well ahead of me!) cares to dance with me... 'Dans les bruits familiers de la boite à la mode.... c'est là qu'on c'est connu parmi ceux de notre âge...Dansons joue contre joue... Ton coeur contre mon coeur... Viens, noyez dans la cohue... découvrons ces plaisirs démodés....Comme s'il n'y avait que nous....dansons joue contre joue....' Ah!! bring it on Charles Aznavour! 3 weeks ago I went out with my daughter and she was in bed LONG before the party, or I, had finished. Now who said that WE the oldies couldn't keep up!....PS : Chris! Dad-dancing routine as explained by Alexis Sayle consists of :put right foot slightly forward in a 'squash that fag' step, bring it back and shimmey body from shoulders to hips 2 or 3 times, then left foot back with a 'kick that growler in the chops' step, bring back, shimmey body and hips, right foot forward, repeat steps... from time to time position body in a westerly direction then alternatively north, east and south... Wave arms from time to time to your mates with a knowing wink, thumbs up, bottle in hand pointing to woman dancing with you (is she?) ! You can't go wrong!... When's the next party?....

Just Katie Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 Chris, if you really want to know how to dance, the secret is to move to the drum and relax. Feel the music dont be too ambitious and it will all come natuarally. Remember DA DRUM!!I dont know why you are so hung up about it though. There is something very unappealling in men who are good dancers. No shaking your butt. All you have to do is stomp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Head Posted August 7, 2006 Author Share Posted August 7, 2006 I think you know the answer to that one Twinks? But only if you've got a Westwood mini skirt on! Thing is I dance alot on my own, my music collection is great and you wouldn't believe the acoustics in my barn but come to dance in front of the world...well I just get embarrassed, it's like I can;t connect. Y'all remember the Madness walk? I had madness on earlier in the barn and just had a ball! Oh bollocks, there's gotta be fellow nutters out there somewhere?Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 >>>Oh, don't tuck anything in, let everything fly ! <<<Be careful Christine... he is quite dangerous with a flying chainsaw to be letting everything fly out.....

Tresco Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Perhaps you popped into the wrong pub. He can be found at the one that is emptying rapidly. You'll have no trouble spotting him.http://www.thatsfrance.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=301 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
