Heh. There was a young lad who used to be in my dance class who actually 
had the big quiff and the tight jeans, jacket, etc. And he was a big 
strapping lad; it looked *good* on him. I wasn't a fantastic dancer, but 
he certainly looked like he _should_ be doing R&R!

Now me, I don't think I have the right physique. I'd just look silly. (I 
mean, I do anyway I guess...) Besides, all that gear is *far* too hot to 
dance in.

The little old biddy in the coffe shop yesterday said "do the charity 
shops".

If you stop and think about that for a moment... it's quite insightful.

...you *want* to see me wearing almost nothing?!? O_O

Yeah, well, "rock & roll" belongs to a whole constellation of similar 
but different dances. There's Rock & Roll, Jive, Swing, Lindy Hop...

There's several videos on YouTube that purport to teach you "Rock & Roll 
dancing", but each one shows different steps.

> Hand jiving is more my style, now-a-days. :-)

Oh yeah - what *the hell* is the hand jive?! A couple of ladies where 
doing that at the gig last week... really bizare!
