Your Favourite Dance of the Past

If you could pick a dance step from your past (if you liked dancing that is), what would you choose?

Me? I just shake around but perhaps the closest would be the twist. I was born in late '62 so maybe that's why

Re: Your Favourite Dance of the Past

I loved the jiving, especially with the wife, she was a terrific jiver in her day, best in the local dance hall.

Re: Your Favourite Dance of the Past

I wasn't much of a dancer AC. Never could do a decent Jive, but could just about manage the Twist.

Might seem strange, but I also used to enjoy an occasional Quick Step with me Dad if we all went to a dinner/dance.

Re: Your Favourite Dance of the Past

I was very much a dance lover and sometimes went to the local Palais 4 times in a week. My favourite dance was the quick-step as it was very energetic.

Re: Your Favourite Dance of the Past

My older sister taught me to jive when I was in my early teens so that she could practise her own steps before heading on down to the Palais with her friends on a Friday night, and because of that I got to be quite a good jiver myself....

Re: Your Favourite Dance of the Past

Definitely the Jive - I still love doing that - a close second would be the Paso Doble, the proper version not the exhibitionist stuff from Strictly.

Re: Your Favourite Dance of the Past

My era was the floorboard watching dance, eventually converted to the dad dance. These days i make do with a nervous twitch.

The jive and a slow smoochy dance at the end of the evening!

Re: Your Favourite Dance of the Past

As a kid I grew up with `greasers`-so did all the toe and heel stuff. I grew up and was more `hippy`

But never,ever,show off the toe and heel in your 50s-there I was in India with Jenny-I hit a step.fell down. I came back to the UK with a ruptured Achilles` tendon and was in a pot for 6 weeks

Re: Your Favourite Dance of the Past

Jive and waltz. Love a good waltz, but it's decades since I had one.
