surfy_sah Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 hey everyone! just thought I'd start this topic about con dancing to get excited about dancing and partying at the con! good times ahead, looking forward to con dancing! for those convention newbies amoungst us, bless you, awww! con dancing is songs that have specific dances to them, eg. YMCA, Time Warp, Steps' Tradgety, Star Trekkin', Macereana, Saturday Night, Joe 90, Dr Who, Cotton Eye Joe and many more! may sound a little geeky but there are some normal songs in there as you can see! don't worry about getting the moves wrong, it's all good fun! so what is everyone's favourite con song? mine is Star Trekkin' cause it's so much fun (you'll see it 3weeks!!!) surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scifiwhore Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I remember they played Men In Black last year and that went down a treat. It was fun trying to learn the dance. It'd be great if they played that again. And of course seconding Star Trekkin', Dr Who, Time Warp, etc. - all great songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoeDark Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yes all the old classics are always fun. Dont know the dances but just follow someone on the floor its more fun that way being out of time with everyone. Even better do the wrong dance to the song eg YMCA dance to the TIME WARP.

surfy_sah Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 oh yeah Men in Black awesome!!! oh and the I Would Walk 1000 Miles one, which was reminded of when MoJoe mentioned doing the wrong dance, cause you get people who just walk on a mission accross the dance floor and then you get people like me who have no clue and get it wrong and just when finally get it right, the song is done!!! hahaha! surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfy_sah Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 indeed they do I will admit that at my first SG convention in November 2005 (wowsie!!!!) I thought it was all a bit geeeeky!!! and was avoiding these "line dances" like a plague but it's soo much fun and I love watching people literally come running in from the bar and from the seats to the dance floor when one of THE con songs is played! Steps 5,6,7,8 and Tradgety are well cheesey but it's all good fun and excersise hahahaha 2weeks 2days to go...! surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfy_sah Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 sure I heard that on the radio the other day!!!! fond con memories surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabit Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 They've been playing Baby Give it Up on my local radio station all week. It's been so damm hard not to jump off my fork truck to start "con dancing" in the middle of the warehouse. Look on Youtube for con dances, but most of them are a bit to dark to see much. But you'll pick most of them up by the end of the weekend. Then have to remember them all again at the next con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfy_sah Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 ooow yeah think it's that one I heard on the radio, it goes like step step step step turn or something? rock on the con dancing, 6days to go! surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flubber Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) I must admit I don't quiet do the movements that everyone else does for Time Warp or YMCA. But I don't mind as long as I am enjoying it. Unfortunately I cant do too much dancing as my knees don't bend that right way anymore but I love looking tho Edited February 14, 2009 by flubber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something like Step right, left, right, left, forward, back right then middle but turn your body to the left at the same time as your last step. Does that make sense??

surfy_sah Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 @ Flubber, that's a shame! I screwed up my knee at the last con I was at in January and I couldn't dance either I was soo gutted not to be Star Trekkin'! but I just did all the bits except the running in and out cause I know a few people who have been injured doing that! the dances I don't know the routines, for I either try and copy some one else or I just do my own thing @ Wabit, yeah makes perfect sense 5 days to go surfy sah xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
