Dance Legend Seeks Partner

[Andy McGregor]

My mate Roger Chin is searching for a new dance partner for competitions, teaching and demos. He's been looking for a while now and hasn't found anyone.

He's far too modest to tell you about himself so I thought I'd post this thread. As well as being a jolly nice fellow Roger is also a great dancer. He was one of the cast on the original 'How to Jive' video made about 10 years ago, he won the LeJive Championship in 1999 (or maybe 98) and came 2nd in the Ceroc Lucky Dip in 2001 (there's probably more I don't know about). He teaches Modern Jive and Salsa and DJs and is well known by everyone who's been around modern jive any time at all.

I even hold Roger responsible for getting my wife Sue interested in dancing as he taught her first lesson at Warmwell last year.

Roger's first requirement is for someone short (no, think shorter than that ). Roger is even shorter than me and looks good dancing with girls no more than five foot one inch tall, maybe a bit more if they're not wearing high heels.

Other than the height requirement I think he's looking for someone with good potential that he can coach rather than one of the current dance goddesses (although I'm sure he'd be open to offers). So, if you're about 5 foot tall (plus or minus 2 inches), have done modern jive for a while (or done other styles of dancing) can move well, live within reasonable travelling distance of London and would like to progress to become a dance deity this is a golden opportunity.

Please feel free to post on this thread to make things interesting - but if you're more modest I'm sure Roger would love to hear from you on his email which is rc003b1624@blueyonder.co.uk . Alternatively, you can PM me.

Roger also won the 2001 LeRoc Champs (Advanced) in Bristol. Oh, and most prestigious of all, he performed a cabaret at our wedding in June!

Seriously, if you don't know him, Roger's not only a top dancer but a really nice and approachable guy - if I were female and 8 inches shorter I'd jump at the chance...

Now Roger - there is an elegant dancer. Very tempting thought but I wouldn't be worthy of partnering such a dance deity

Pick me, pick me.

No far over the hight limit only 5'1" (plus 7" ~ don't knock 7")

a bit of a light weight ~ only 14 1/2 stone

I can do all those dance styles AND "love" the way Roger dances.

Hi Wendy,

Just wondered if you were going to be at Stockport Town Hall this Saturday? Or are you going to make me wait until Camber for a dance.
