Get your glad rags (well .. just casual is ok) and your dancin' shoes on !!!!

Are you ready for the forum salsa outing ...

Date: 20th Jan.
Venue: The forum (division street).
Time: 7.30.

Salsa is a lot of fun ... and a relatively inexpensive night out ... and this night is suitable for complete beginners and salsa guru's alike ...

Fancy it ? ... great ... just send me a PM.

Jamie

hey jam


i refuse to dance with anyone but you baby

I might come along! How much is it?

It's only £2.50 (non-members) tinajones ... and well worth every penny !!.

Well I'll be there as planned... but just one question..

Is that the first session?

I'm assuming it's on hold because of the uni exams n'all...

OK ... a few more details ...

The format of the classes at the forum usually goes something like this ...

The lessons start at 7.30.

beginners lesson (about 40 mins) - this is good for everyone.

improvers lesson (about 30 mins) - this is also good for everyone (beginners can have a go).

merrengie circle (about 20 mins) - this is suitable for beginners and experts alike (and is a lot of fun).

advanced lesson (about 30 mins) - hehehe.

line dance (about 10 mins) - suitable for all.

The Lessons end at about 9.30 and the dance floor is free for you to practice your thing (dancing) ... all night (unlil 1am) if you like.

Wear somthing casual and some sensible shoes (I usually wear trainers).

We'll meet up at the halcyon (pub) at 7.00. It's just down the road (ie. division street) from the forum.

If your coming, please PM me so I know to expect you.

- Jamie

Mean't, was this the first session this new year...

I know the uni society run the forum class so with them having exams I figured they're not running any until then...

Anyway... to reiterate the question in another way... are there any classes before the planned group trip on the 24th?

Hi Martin,

The official 'forum forum salsa outing' is on the 20th (not 24th).

The forum has been open for dancing on tuesdays throughout the festive period. Classes did stop for the last 2 Tuesdays in December ... when they just had the place open for "social dancing".

As of the 6th ... it's business as usual.

There are classes on the 13th ... but most people will be coming for the 'forum forum salsa outing' on the 20th !!

Remember ... we are meeting in the halcyon at 7.00pm on the 20th.

The halcyon bar is just down from the forum on division street ... here is a map:

http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?pc=S37SB&scale=10000

If you turn up after 7.30pm ... and there is no-one in the halcyon ... just go straight in to the forum.

They will charge u 2.50 (i think) for the classes there.

I think I shall probably come for a laugh.

It's years since I tried any kind of dancing that doesn't involve lots of alcohol and a busy nightclub (apart from my Dining Room and the odd few times I stupidly let my ex persuade me that I needed to join him line dancing 'for a laugh').

Is it just Jamie, Martin, Mosher and Starchild so far then?? (Oh and Tina Jones - sorry Tina :o )? And maybe me of course....... Anyone else planning to join us there?

:thumbsup:

Actually ... I think it may only be £2.50 !!

Even more reason to get ya dancing shosies on ...

:)

Me and Gillie coming tomorow eve.

Sounds good to me.

The last time I went to a salsa night was at Casbah ages ago (thought it was classic rock night:blush:!).
I enterd the limbo contest!
Couldn't dance then, can't dance now but i'll be there if it goes ahed.

Do you know, I'm tempted! I usually head to the gym on Tuesdays, but this could be good exercise too. I've pencilled it into my diary and may make a guest appearance....unless something happens at home base, in which case I'm back on the bar there again! Tempted.....

....admitedly very easy thing to do!
So is Salsa meet next Tues or today? cos definately cant make tonight am spring/winter cleaning and maybe putting up flat-pack furnature.....Mmmmm power of the hammer.... :loopy:

So yeah.....

Is next Tues?

Hey! Moshy..

The official forum forum salsa outing is NEXT WEEK ... the 20th (next Tuesday).

I am going tonight (I go every Tuesday) ... a few other forum peeps have decided to come along tonight for a 'sneak preview' ... which of course they are more than welcome to do.

I think the vast majority of people are coming next week though moshy.

See you there !!

Jamie x

Ah right!
You have to be explicit with me I really am very simple...
not explicit in a naughty way you understand...just clearly and slowly for preference :wink:

Righty ho! will cya all next week in my finest togs and trainers!
might possibly wear pink...after all I do have a reputation to keep up! :rolleyes:
xxx

Is this Salsa thing highly energetic? Is it non stop for an hour or two? What's the deal?

It's as energetic as you want it to be CR.

There is a bar there, so you can have breaks etc for a drink :)

Do you have to have a partner?

last minute nightmare...

I can't make it after all... client emergency means I'm stuck here sorting out a pain issue..

Apologies to all... :(

salsa? sounds quite amazinly scary to me!

lol sounds like fun to me!

No caprice ... you don't need a partner ...

Partner's are optional extras (thank god ... cos i'd be struggling on that score).

Plenty of lovely people their to dance with ...

i think i would go if i knew anyone!! but as i dont it think i will have to be giving it a miss!

myself and Fuzzy went this evening. I have to admit neither of us had the guts to give it a go (we are calling it a observation evening!) but up for it next Tuesday. There was loads of people a real cross section and the beginners class did'nt look too difficult:wow:

There you go CRB - you should come along - it's not that scary (apparently). I was watching people at a class in St Mary's tonight - I think maybe I should be a bit scared (it wasn't beginners though, so might be alright).
Hopefully see you there
:thumbsup:

Awwww Jamie I'll mark your card :wink: just be wearing toe reinforced shoes I have no coordination! Gonna have fun! and if they have a bar chances are that will be my partner sorted for most of the night :thumbsup: not that Im a boozehound :rolleyes:

OK, I'll be there (unless there's an emergency at the pub). I hope nobody I know spots me, I'm meant to be a rocker, not a Salsa dancer! Shhhh!

Hell no.... I know the doormen and some staff at the Forum.... I'd be the laughing stock of the Security Trade.

Although admittedly it does sound like fun.

I also think they salsa dancing at the Showroom... now that might tempt me to come along!

DaB - do you REALLY care about what they think? If something's fun its fun - they'll be the ones missing out.
Who knows what days Showroom anf the Point do Salsa ???? Coz I really need a different day to Tuesday - if it is fun that is.

Also - can I wear my trainers?? I'm so sad that I need to - but shall i be able to boogie properly?? Jamie - tell me please.

:)

Gonna go to the Halcyon for the pre-salsa drinks but not gonna go dancing you'll be glad 2 hear :D

Hiyabeing:

I used to go loads in traniers ... and you see a lot of people there in them (esp. the guys). You can dance in them OK ... but they might look terribly smart ... well ... mine didn't look smart !!!.

Feel free to wear trainers.

DaBaouncer:

We could always dress you up (my mom has a lovely long blonde wig) and sneak you past your fellow door men if you're at all worried about your street cred ;-)

No seriously mate ... it is a lot of fun ... and you should give it a go if you get the chance ... and Tuesdays at the forum is an ace class.

Are they still running classes at the showroom? ... I thought those were run by these guys: http://www.atasteofsalsa.co.uk/

I believe they are now back at 'The Point' on snig hill (used to be under the boardwalk) and their class is also on Tuesdays.

There is 'VIVA SALSA' at Cubana's on trippit lane ... not been there yet ... but it does have an excellent reputation ... and is on the first sunday of every month ... 8.00pm onwards.

If there is enough interest we could arrange to go there (and other places) in future.

Can't come now - busy week I'm afraid. Have fun tho you lot!

Awwww tinajones ... but you'll miss all the fun !! ... well ... you can always come another time !!

:-)

I can't belive I've said I'm going to do this.......

dont worry CR I know the feeling.......apparantly theres a bar so may get a little tiddly the old Russian courage before I get the two left feet cooperating.......or not as the case may be! :thumbsup:

I may just bar wallow and watch.....
I did a heavy gym session yesterday and ache today.

Jamie I just pm'd u - but have to leave now, so see ya later.

Sorry guys:( I've just got home from a training course and feel drained of all life! Hope you all have fun and I will cya at the next forum meet:thumbsup:

Was good fun... you missed a laugh there Tina.. Although I'm sure we're now going to hear various bits of gossip and chuckles form the evening...

:)

Yeah TJ was a laugh.
Starchild kept trying to take photos but we were having none of it!!!
Never salsa'd before - but was ok. VERY VERY busy tho'.
Nice to see you all again (and newbies)
:thumbsup:

Nice to have met starchild and yodameister [aka yoga / yogi according some peeps] and the usual suspects tonite. Oh, and of course the unregistered forum guy who doesnt know what he is letting himself in for :D

Will definitely go next week and have a go [someone push me away from the bar and towards the dance area !!!]

Hope Martin_s and his new friend Gaymie have many happy years together and hiyabeing finds what she wants on aisle 17 of Sainsburys :P

Your'e memroy is just too good. You rude person you!!!!!
I probably won't find what we said (not necessarily what I was looking for) on Aisle 17 at Sainsbury's (maybe at Summers' - aisle 17).
We tried our VERY VERY hardest to move you from being bag-person - but YOU were having none of it!!!!! We WANTED YOU to dance. You know I shalln't be there to see you boogie-boogie next week you're a bad-un I say!!!!
Begginners was easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy (after a while), then went down hill!!!!!!!
:thumbsup:
Then vodka redbull - hence me still being awake (Aaaaaaaargh)

By the way I meant that I wasn't necessarily looking for that item!!!
ALSo
nice to meet u all
charmed i'm sure

Me ? Rude ? Sheesh !

Unfortunately I can be as stubborn as a mule sometimes. I did make a good bag person I must say :o)

I'm sure if I pluck up the courage to have a go next week there will be reports of my exploits for you to read on the forum. Hopefully no photos from the paparazzi though !

Will have to swot up beforehand - can't be doing not knowing what the moves are called etc [especially mosherchick's 'spinning round' moves !] - anyone know a good site ? Also gonna have to have a go at 'mirror boogying' - sounds fun !

Hope I can move out of beginners class by say this time next year :P

I got collared back at the pub and couldn't get away. We're up for getting the public ents licence tomorrow and I had to sort stuff out for it. Sorry! Quite fancied it too, and it sounds like it was fun. I'm off to Sainsburys now to find out what's on row 17.

.......Well I tried! :P
I got the one step forward one step back thing sorted OH YES then it all got a bit too complicated with the spinny arms and twirly round bits :o
as for Jamie......I see you baby, shaking that ass :wink: show off!

would aisle 17 be personal care or household electrical goods Rtapp? :thumbsup:

Will maybe roll up again next week we shall see...like a mug Ive said I'll do overtime at work :loopy:
xxx

I sensed much chemistry between martin and gaymie and once those pictures are developed they will serve as evidential proof to those who had the misfortune of not being able to witness the undeniable excesses of...nm I'm just talking crap:P

Was nice to meet everyone...hope to see you at the next meet:loopy:

Uhuh.... as always ;)

Glad you had a good time though :)

Was nice to meet everyone...hope to see you at the next meet:loopy:
yep.. you too Star... and the rest... a good night.. despite the indecision on the pub front... :)

The Salsa was surprisingly easy for someone with 2 left feet (I may be an improver before the decade is out!!) will probably go along again in the near future.....

And the forum people surprisingly normal!! Might even be dragged to the Classic Rock Bar, u never know....

*shakes ass*

WOW ... how cool was Tuesday night !!? ... totally enjoyed myself and I was sooooo happy you all had a fun time ...

A pleasure to meet you all ... old faces and new !!

Not sure what the consensus is on arranging another forum salsa outing is ... !? ... but ... I go every Tuesday so if you're there make sure you come and say hello :-)

*shakes ass some more*

I know this event has already passed but is there another salsa evening when you all meet? And if I came along (new to Sheffield Forum) how would I know you all?

Well Tuesday has become my regular night as of last week and Jamie goes quite a bit...

I think a few of the others will be repeating too.. so come along.. In terms of recognising anyone.. well Jamie is probably a cinch to spot as he's tall, thin and blonde with a friendly face...

I'll be there around 7 tommorrow - the ugly dude in blue shirt :P

Moneypenny:

Come along tonight (or any Tuesday) if you like :-) ... we probably will arrange another Tuesday to meet up before hand and go in as a group.

Rudi:

Did you know the class starts at 7.30 !? ... and I will just be going straight there (not to the halycon like last week).

I'm working on my bar tonight. Sob. Maybe next week....

I had no idea that this was to become a weekly thing!

Usually busy on a Tuesday, night off tonight.

If I had known, I would have come along.

Have good night anyway, to all.

:banana: :banana:

Thanks for the invite guys already had plans for tonight - sorry, not doing too well here am I? I will try and make another Tuesday though, if it's a regular thing I'll see you down there, for definate!

Sorry, I was working overtime in the winter garden (Tinajones can vow for that).

well 3 of us turned up and it was a good night...

Didn't do too well but with only 1 previous lesson under my belt I did ok I reckon :)

The bloody figure of 8 maneuver was a pig to master though... :rolleyes:

:thumbsup: see you all next Tuesday ;)

Yeah was good, unfortunately I had little sleep previous night and combined with not having danced before I made a right fool of meself. But as a girl that was dancing with me said, you gotta stick at it and start from somewhere [she had been 3 times before and seemed like she'd been doing it forever !]

Hopefully will get more sleep from now on [was meant to hear result of interview last Tuesday; heard today that I got the job - yay - no more MP correspondence !!!] and have better co-ordination next week :thumbsup:

Well done RTapper.
:thumbsup:
Congratulations.
So did u dance then?

I moved my legs around vaguely in time - if u can call that dancing then the answer is yes :P

A REPEAT PERFORMANCE !!! .......

Due to the massive success of the last salsa meet ... I thought it might be a cool idea if we did it all again !!!? ... maybe even make it a regular thing ...

We can have monthly salsa meet ... where we meet up for a drink before (probably in the halycon) ... and then go on to salsa at the forum.

In the weeks between this organised meet ... you can (if you like) just make your own way to the forum ... where no doubt you will see me and several other sheffield forum regulars.

A monthy organised meet will probably be a good idea for those of us who'd like to give salsa a go ... but feel a bit unsure about going alone.

Let me know what you think ... is this a good idea !?

Gona try me best to get there this Tuesday. I'm gonna be working in Birmingham until at least 1630, so gonna be a rush to make it!!

Well I'll be there as regular anyways now but yeah... a little drink before hand is always welcome :)

I will be there on Tuesday as i have said to mates for last two weeks we would. (Even if Gillie doesn't)

SORRY FUZZY SORRY SORRY SORRY!!!
Honest did not mean to keep letting you down. Will try really hard this week promise.

I know not a problem, if you can do then great but i know you have something else this week even if you have forgot.;)
