Hannah I am (sadly maybe) making a note of who has replied so if anyone doesn't re-post I will make sure I delve back to find any missed posts - no TARDIS but quite patient & methodical

And I don't mind if between now & deadline anyone wants to change their mind - just not every 5 mins in an effort to confuse me & get extra votes!!

OK, I'm not going to see Keep Dancing but thought I'd join in with the game anyway.

Not choosing Jive or Rumba, because of having been done on tour, and obviously not Paso because Aliona announced that one herself.

Waltz

Argentine Tango

Charleston

American Smooth Foxtrot ( possibly reworked and without the wolf face which put me off this dance for ages)

I have a very nice pic of Ali, Craig and Jay together on tour. They looked so happy. So they must have got on with each other. I will need tech support from DD perhaps cos it won't attach.

I haven't managed to listen to the radio interview yet.”

Who'd want to shoot you down for wanting to see J&A dance together? And what divine retribution that would be.... I'd still love to know what was wrapped up in the shirt that J gave Borewood at the end of the Tour.... Friendly they may appear, but I wouldn't be surprised if J thinks Borewood is just a Sad Pranny.

Funny you should mention Last Tango. Now that V&A aren't touring any more, wouldn't it be great if J&A took up the baton in that genre?

I don't see it as a story that needs to be set anywhere in particular, regardless of where the original was set, so no real need for contrived accents, that's all.

Lola If possible can you let me know what style you would like the new dances to be

Sorry Ahouch you need to chose between the Tangos

Isih as with Lola please advise which new styles you would like to see

Hope you don't think I'm taking this too seriously but my inner geek/Statto has been reawakened

ETA And wouldn't it be lovely if our voted for faves were chosen!”

Oooh you are a hard taskmaster

OK
AT (as previously mentioned, I know it's not new but caved in to my hormones)
Lindy hop

Can I be very cheeky and give my BigSis's choice as well? She has earned her spurs, honest and is grandma to the jayalike

She says:
Argentine Tango
(not the jive it's too special)
Viennese waltz
a charleston (not necessarily the SCD one)
foxtrot

Whiffle I know you've told us, but my brain's mince these days. Sorry. Too long a story-but as I'm very fond of a long story, count yourself lucky 😄😅

As a very kind concession to save me going back through the thread and missing it are we picking 3 or 4 dances?

Paso is a given and they are doing 4, so are we picking 3 to be exact or 4 to give you some leg room so to speak😊

My KD choices are:

Charleston
AT
Waltz
Samba

Just booked ticket for MK

Waltz, Jive, Tango, Paso, a slightly different AS, a slightly different FT, Salsa, a different QS.
Rumba, as many Freedance or Show Dances as they like, a slightly different CCC, a Samba

... oh dear, I can see a problem here ”

Viennese Waltz

Which only adds up to about 12 minutes' dance time....

So maybe the FT too? And a big YES to a new dance!

BIB 2 jive and rumba would be contained enough for stage work but I hope we get different ones. Salsa also a compact dance but as someone up thread said - hard on the back.
Argentine Tango ----yes please. Done to great effect by Vincent & Flavia in theatres obviously.
So good to go.

ETA Whiffle non of these are my picks. Will put my list together soon.
Quite a few had already picked dances pre my post. If they repost great. If not I'll try to delve back and find them.

I understand a lot of you have probably had the jive and the rumba up to the ears! I was being totally selfish imagining my first view live (pipe dreams)

How thrilled she must have been when she first saw that spark... Lucky A and lucky J.

Didn't realise that we're allowed to include new dances in our pipedream. In that case:

Viennese Waltz
Foxtrot
AT
Contemporary, balletic style. I just know that J would love it too and excel. 💕💞💕

What about a Lindy Hop too?
And how about some tap .”

A Tale of Two Cities might have been set in Manchester and Prague! Guess we're miles apart on that one......

I've done it for you. I hope you don't mind.

It crossed my mind that when multi voting was mentioned (you know who you are) that the list should have names. But of course you are on top of it.😉😉😉

I know what you mean.

I was exactly like that at the tour.

I wasn't there to see any other dance and boy was I right to decide to go.

I was so fortunate that the venue was half an hour away.

Hi Danceagogo As the Paso is a definite you can chose up to 4 dances be it ones already performed or new ones/styles you would like to see

Thanks for that Hannah. I was hoping ( maybe in vain) that the naughty multi-voters would be good & repost just 4 choices
