"Two girls for every boy"

It was "surf city" on Wed night at Adrian's with "2 girls for every boy". And while that song was playing durring the lesson I did a quick head count - 53 women, 26 men in the advanced class - the song lyrics were so very true. So where were all the guys last night? Have they suddenly found the cricket more fun than a night out dancing? Well they missed a great night of dancing to the Vincents duo and all those spare women waiting for a dance. The guys that were there had a ball, those watching the cricket missed out big time . Come on guys - lots of ladies to dance with on Wed nights!!!

Yep, similar situation at Be Bop, Marge & Brian's class, on Tuesday at Bayswater.

At least Be Bop (previously Kevin & Carole's Fourmost Dance Company) has some volunteer blokes, the majority being Champion dancers, who help balance up the numbers.

It is hard for a man to get started in R'n'R dancing. He has to lead, remember the steps he knows, keep the beat, be charming and steer through the traffic all at once.

I can remember taking half a song just to find the rhythm to get started and then once we did get going having a little face looking back at me saying "do something different".

So girls if a man who is new to R'n'R dancing asks you to dance try not to say no. We can only learn dancing by doing it.
