You shouldn't demo Steve: I caught myself doing a couple of moves with "tramp style" before I could stop it {arm accross front, body step with head snap sort of thing... I almost had to stop dancing. }

I also try to avoid the "Franck" thing with the shoulder shimmy, 'expressive' face and puppy-like enthusiasm: no-one can do it like him

I've tried Dave's cool slides and nonchalant style, but I'm not cool enough.

Bill's body leads and dance floor "involvement" with his partners tends to head me towards slapping territory.

A friend once described my style as a cross between The Mask's dancing and Zorro's dancing - I think he was trying to say I should wear a bag over my head

Actually, that might make a cool caberet(/standup) routine - "I will now dance in the style of XXX"
