The 2006 St. Louis cookout Danceing Thread

Dr Legostar · Post by **Dr Legostar** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 9:22 am

I have said it often but I should make an official thread for this i guess. It should be no secret by now that I will be teaching dancing at the cookout. The plan, if this is okay with the kolters, and seems to be, that I'm going to teach a fairly simple Swing lessons followed by a couple of hours of good music to dance to. I also plan on teaching specific other things to people who are interested, but my question is what are people in interested in learning?

I know Pimpette wants to learn how to tango, and I may teach some more advanced swing stuff to those who are interested and in some case have prior experience, I'm talking to you, vort. But what else?

I am familiar enough with Swing (several varieties), Waltz, Foxtrot, Rhumba, Tango, Merengue, basic salsa/mambo, i can kinda polka and I know one swing line dance and one samba line dance.

So what would you guys like to learn?

I took dancing in college. Been a long time and I've forgotten most of it, but at one time in the past I knew how to Foxtrot, Rhumba, and Tango. I wouldn't mind a refresher course. Swing is cool, too -- I have lots of swing music, should I bring some?

i think i'm going to be playing most stuff off my mp3 player on a pair of computer speakers, so if you do bring music, bring a c.d. player too or something. I have a ton of swing music, hours upon hours of it, but more is always good.

I'd love to learn how to swing...

But actually, I think I'll just have to wait and see what kind of condition I'll be in physically, what with jetlag and that.

...

And I also don't know whether I will dare dance! People could see me!

I hope there'll be photos.

Maybe I should wear my Cope fur coat and impersonate him when doing really stupid things...?

And didn't we agree that no photos shall be posted without my consent? Didn't we? Hmm?

Let's see... I know one line dance, I once learned a really simple square dance, I can dance in a club with House or some other kind of Techno...

but my preferred method of dancing is headbanging/air guitar.

I may deign to learn some real dancing. But most likely I will chicken out. I know my limits.

Oh yeah, and I can do the funky chicken. Yay for 4th grade production of Grease!

I'll learn anything! I speak just for myself, though, since I don't know about Jim.

If ladydarke is there, I'll learn something. If not, I'll watch.

Sheesh, did I really post this?

You might already have everything I have.

Let's check -- Big Bad Voodoo Daddy? Cherry Popping Daddies? Brian Seltzer Orchestra? That's all I have in swing. But, uh, I don't own a portable CD player.

Bah, I don't need a teacher or dancing experience to do the robot.

You know I'm going to be dancing, Lego. And you'd better darn well switch partners, 'cause I'm NOT dancing alone this time!
