Slofox and Lilfox Burn The Floor

[slofox]

We spent the weekend in Christchurch competing in the National Ballroom championships...

Wandered down Manchester Street on Thursday afternoon to get to the supermarket and passed some interesting bike shops :love:...course, I wasn't allowed to ogle too much - unlike herself who indulged in constant brownian motion in women's clothing stores...but that's another story. A very boring story...

I was interested in the tiny little shop that had Italian bikes sitting round...can anyone enlighten me as to the exact nature of that shop? Like I said, I didn't really get a chance to poke around in there. I wasn't sure if the bikes were the reason for the business or just props for selling Italian stuff...

Oh, in case anyone is interested, and we did quite well in the comp...about No. 5 or 6 in New Zealand on the weekend's results...hehehe

Bikers know how to move!

I've been tempted to learn how to dance, male dancers are in hot demand...

Well done!!

That's where the nick, slofox, comes from - the English or Slow Foxtrot, commonly shortened to slofox...my personal favourite in fact...

Well done, and the Slow Fox sounds great. My fiancee and I have been talking about dancing lessons before the wedding...if anyone knows of any good places to learn around Wellington that would be a great help...

[Number One]

Pics or it didn't happen! The dancing I mean not the bikestore ;)

Well done to you both :sunny:

Thank you spajohn...

For lessons, you could talk to George at The Studio - he's numero uno in Wellington as far as I can tell...

Wasn't you taking a lesson from that Argentinian bloke last night at 8 was it?

Nah...but I did get to dance with Katusha Demidova on Friday (Current world champion...) THAT was special...specially when I hit the accelerator - couldn't resist...dancing with her was like riding the gixxer thou...if you know what I mean...:shifty:

[imdying]

Oh yeah, know exactly what you mean :D

There are some pics somewhere - if I can get hold of anything I'll post up here...

Phwoar!!!! that is soooooo cool. As an ex dancer (not ball room though) I can thoroughly support the fact that good male dancers are...well, shall we say, yes, in hot demand.

RipperRoo92 is currently taking lessons with his gf and I watched them dance the other week - I was very impressed. It's sad that there seem to be so few younger ones coming through learning this type of dancing. I'm working on Balu to come along when lessons start up again later in the year (he's dubious, but prepared to give it a go).

Well done The Foxes! Look forward to the pics.

Not pole was it? :)


Well done, shame no news on the Italian shop.... start another thread lol

[PrincessBandit]

..................... lol

Hahahahaha, you think you jest.... I seriously was going to start pole dancing lessons before I had my accident. To build upper body strength and tone muscles, of course!! Sadly, broken collar bone put paid to that at the time. :(

I used to do tap. So I used to be a tapper (note, only one consonant at the start, and it's a "t")

Dancing would be my ideal form of exercise but it's a bit lonely and not so much fun on your own.

Hehe pole dancing looks like great fun, I'll be taking it up in November when classes at the local studio start again :D

How about you come show me after a coupla classes, huh? huh? huh?

[skinman]

well some ballroomers & an ex tapper. I was very surprised but probably shouldn't be.
I rock n roll mainly now (never guess from the car) but do still go to ballroom sometimes.

It'll take more than 'a couple' of classes to get to where I want to be with it, in the mean time you can watch one of my old workmates, who just so happens to be one of the best in New Zealand <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jqA2k75jbfA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/jqA2k75jbfA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

I've done a bit of tap myself, and love it! Wasn't good enough for ballroom, although I can waltze okay. Maybe if I get stuck into rehab when the surgeon gives me the okay, I can get somewhere near that level of fitness again...

Can't see me pole dancing though... :shit:
