During the first dance, the device registered a maximum BPM reading of 
193. Amusingly (or not?), by the time the *next* dance finished (i.e., 
I'd been sitting around for about 3 minutes), my pulse was still 
registering as around 150 BPM.

Then again, it was so hot I didn't go much below 100 BPM all night once 
people actually started dancing.

Nearer the end of the night, I danced with Laura, who is ****ing 
amazing. I achieved 195 BPM during that dance, and that's still the 
maximum count for the entire evening.

I have no idea how many caleries I burned, but I must have lost a stone 
and a half just in *sweat*. In utter seriousness, I am *soaking wet* 
right now! >_<

Bugger me, that was one fantastic night out!
