Hallelujahs, love them or hate them…can you live without them?

Also it's the only ligitimate way to get a full on Jhon Travolta, staturday night fever, finger point going on.

As a 'side-to-sider', I know it's cheesy and I know I'm usually half a beat out but as previously stated it gives a break from the rotation and is good recovery for over extension.

However, after reading this post I immediately practiced the above 'variation' at work with my normal imaginary partner (can anyone tell me if Charlize Theron actually does Ceroc?) and we both fell about laughing.

I can't wait 'til Thursday.

Ok, women, you need to compile a list of moves never to do. In this thread alone there's the Hallelujah, Side to Side and Pretzel ... any more?

I do all 3 and you're mercilessly cutting my library of moves here.

Why not start another thread?

You’ll probably find out that every move will be on the banned list as we all probably dislike or prefer different things. Just dance we will survive the odd move that we don’t like

Don't go there Danny!

If everyone on here posts the moves they don't like and you listen to it, you'll just be standing still holding hands.

Everyone has moves they don't like, but unless they're dangerous most ladies don't really mind that much.

Edit: See, Maxine said so while I was posting this!

Too late, I think there's one already on here somewhere!

Although there are moves I don't like, for the most part I don't really notice as I am too busy following the next one and I would never say to someone that I didn't like the move as the dance is a partnership.

Also the same move by a different lead can be competely different depending on mood, music etc.

As Maxine said we will survive.

Here's one (probably not the only one):

. . .Side to Side bloody shoulders

Some leads seem to think they are supposed to bang hard into my arm. It's supposed to be only a very light touch, no need to be bloody painful.

BTW what is a Hallelujah?

I try my best not to bang but I do try to get compression/presure to bounce off.

The side-to-side shoulders with a slide across exit is about the easiest way to get to a R-L hand hold {it confuses most followers and lets me do left handed moves.}

Halleluja - is basically going from a crossed hand hold into a parallel hand hold by raising both arms in big 'shine' circles. I think it's a good introduction to leading from wrists/arms rather than hands/fingers. I think I probably use a half-halleluja (only one hand arcs) more often.

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the in-and-out : scarily I find myself using this quite a bit {too much WCS sugar-pushing :blerg:}

[gamebird]

I don't mind a Hallelujah -as long as there's some form of eye-contact. Iused to dance with someone who would stare over your shoulder which always left me thinking he'd rather be anywhere else!

I also like the Hallelujah freeze (I think) that I was taught. Pretty much the same as the normal one butwith a bit of a dramatic pause while hands are held high and a slow controlled bringing them down and round, with some resistance in the arms - cool, moody and often slightly closer than usual

Realised what Halleluja are, now you have described them.

I really like Hallelujas
