The 'lesson for her/him' and 'may I have the next dance please'
Started off with milktray man - who is real
At the time one of my female taxi dancers went to a local dance (organised by a lady who I think may have taken me off her christmas card list recently
)
This taxi dancer is a great young dancer, had a job lookin after horses or something and was over 12 stone, a really great person
So she dances with this guy [dressed in black] when dance is over he sits next to her and makes the following comment to her
"You know you are a good dancer but really should loose some weight" She points out that she is happy with her size and helps with her job, undetered he sits and argues the point with her, she did not know whether to cry or hit him - Know which one I would have liked to have seen.
The guy is a pain...
He always rekons he knows the move better than the teacher and once told a new beginner in my class "you will never make a dancer" I banned him, dont like rude men or gropers at my venue.
I was so incenced when I heard the above storey I started an Email to a friend about it - it sort of ended up as the above storey line.
Many of the charecters are real
'Martin' is in oz
And lady that floats I danced with at Camber, never found out her name but a dance I will always remember.
The first draft was so cynical that I had to tone it down a lot (wish I had kept the original version)
I had a 1000 copies printed and put them out at Camber.
