FabSwingers.com forum: What would you do?

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

I turned up to a dance class early as it was a new venue and i wanted to secure a seat for me and my mum (who was with me)

After about 30mins the venue did become full and the class had started. Some late comers arrived and as most people were on the floor starting to learn the moves.. these women then moved our handbags and drinks and sat down

There were tables with seats available away from the floor.

Would you bite your tongue and just move or point out what they already knew was that people were sat there?

I would have bitten my lip and just moved.. my mum however did not and made a fuss

I would say something,but in a nice, not in an aggressive way as I would assume that they simply did not think rather than being deliberately obnoxious. I just find life easier assuming that.

Who are the cunts? The people dancing and reserving seats and tables or the people not dancing who want to sit at a table ?

I would have politely told them you were sitting there. Had there been no bags and empty glasses I would have took it on the chin. But as there were and it was a dance class where you expect people to be learning steps on a dance floor I would have had to say something. Good on your mum

Modern jive is an amalgamation of allsorts....its amazingly popular...tho I never knew that...

Its like pubs I guess...I never use them tho lol....good and bad...

If its a small club, then they save on hire by getting the less salubrious places...

We`re prepared to travel and go to some stunning venues...after you progress to being comfortable, and that need not take long ( a month or two) you can attend freestyles....popular clubs throw a full blown dance night....no lessons just dancing...lots of bling and glamour sometimes....but its the smiles that stand out...

Give it another try...

Tho to be honest..salsa fer me is abit samey....with jive you get a very eclectic mix of music ...thats me tho ..

Cool Sassy, hope you keep it up.

There is a school near us that teaches it so may just look it up.

Would love to learn with Rhett but he has 2 left feet and dances like my dad

salsa classes are notoriously short of males and desperate for those who can lead, ie strong leads.... you d be very popular I imagine

Leroc is always worth a try...its just the same, only not a franchise

We live in Taunton...so we can get to Exeter, Bristol, etc....

Yep...we`re going to a freestyle that peeps from all over the country attend tomorrow..national champions etc go to have fun.....its something else....just chatting or dancing with them...

Abit like watching `strictly` sometimes..

Clean, respectful males are always welcome at dance classes chap...doesn`t matter what yer feet do for a while...yer smile is the winner...thats a savvy truth as well

The social side is the most dynamic part of a lifestyle with dancing in it.....truly hard not to make good friends...and flirt a little haha

Music creates, stabilises, improves, changes, intensifies .... moods and its appreciation is a real gift. I am not talking about a formal study here, I am talking about that moment when the music (whatever music) resonates in you, does something to you, is inescapable... and it is part of you and you are part of it.. and dancing is just an expression of the passion, the feelings...
