Cliff Ton 10,458 Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I wonder if there was anywhere in Nottingham where people danced like that ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I certainly never danced like that! My style was more elegant and cool Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,139 Posted October 9, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 The 'Black Bottom'' i would doubt ever made it to Nottingham.........it began like lots of music and dance over in the states with ''African/Americans'' in the 20s...... However another Dance that certainly made it to Nottingham from the states was the ''Jitterbug''......Remember me Mam and all her sisters giving it some in the late 40s and early 50s......The Whites in America were doing something called the ''Lindy-hop''......the Africans laughed at this and said They look as if they've got the ''Jitters'' with a bug........... Remember Mam saying '''come on lets do the ''Jitterbug''.......to me when i was about 15 at her company's do at the ''Coop Elizabethan rooms'' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,115 Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 I can’t dance to save my life. Totally uncoordinated me. We did have a 6th form dancing society at Mellish with our sister school, Brincliffe. After I’d trodden over a poor girl’s toes the dancing mistress took me in hand (not literally!) and gave me a personalised lesson. I didn’t return the following week. My next attempt (at dancing) was with my fiancé at a dance school over Burtons Tailors in Newark. All the attendees apart from us seemed to be big clomping farming lads and lasses. We went from the waltz to the cha cha in one evening. Fortunately there was a bar I could retire to. Dancing’s never been my thing! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,304 Posted October 9, 2023 Report Share Posted October 9, 2023 My father claimed to have danced with Bette Davis somewhere out in the tropics during WW2. She was his favourite actress and every time one of her films was shown on tv, he'd tell us how he danced with her. I asked him if that was the reason why she walked with a limp. Actually, my father was a very good dancer. I suppose, thinking about it, he could well have met her during one of her visits to the troops. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
