Behind the Dance » Rose, Jones & Stones – Messrs Bulley & Young get their groove on for York Come Dancing
Today’s little blogging adventure took a considerable amount of time to produce. 7 hours to be precise. At 16:00 we first met in the Courtyard to get writing. At 16:05 Mr Young realised that he had forgotten his notes. 2 hours and 2 pints of relentless (apparently they’re only allowed to serve you 2 a day!) later we left the Courtyard after a thoroughly unproductive (but surprisingly enlightening) discussion pertaining to Charlie Rowley’s sexuality (Charlie would like us to publicly state that his sexuality is not in question, regardless of whatever doubts we may or may not have). Reconvening at 20:00 we finally got down to writing. After discovering that Mr Young had never heard of The Lonely Island or Supertramp, we had to take some serious music education breaks. I also subjected him to the entirety of Asher Roth’s album, Asleep in the Bread Aisle, which I am loving! Anyway, despite another night of non-stop fun in the world of Messrs Bulley & Young, we endeavor to bring you another brilliant Behind the Dance. Enjoy.
Jason Rose, YUSU Campaigns officer, figure head of the portering campaign, and just generally a surplus committee member, is dancing the Viennese Waltz with his partner Claire Cornock. Unfortunately this immediately puts them at a disadvantage as the dance isn’t very exciting to watch. Even Jason conceded that it simply “looks unimpressive”. “Hopefully we look like we know what we’re doing though” he continued. The couple do seem to know the routine, but Jason’s technique leaves a lot to be desired, in the opinion of BtD. In his defence, Jason says that the “spinning doesn’t help”. The couple have a nice dance – they look fine. But that’s it. Sorry Jase, but BtD isn’t tipping you for victory.
As for Gruffudd Jones, BtD is very excited by him (Chris “I’ve got a girlfriend, I swear” Young thinks he’s dishy – “in a heterosexual way, if I was a woman, I would” he argues) and Abigail Fenton’s, his partner, dance. The Mr York 2009 is quite a man. Chizzled jaw and bursting gunz at the ready, Gruff is looking like a potential winner of this year’s competition. The routine looks very smooth and confident (as, apparently, does Gruff). Furthermore, to Gruff’s credit he looks in control of the dance, leading Abigail through the steps, giving the dance a nice polished finish. The two have been working hard to the extent that they’re “sick of the song”. Despite being the man of campus, Gruff admitted to BtD that he is “enjoying himself massively” and that he “loves to dance”. “Who would turn down the opportunity to learn to ball room dance?” he asked BtD (we won’t tell the rugby team, promise!). BtD is very excited about this routine though.
Our last focus couple is Zoe Stones, YUSU RAG Officer, and her partner Philip Sellers dancing the Waltz. In BtD’s expert opinion, Zoe had a nice posture. However she was being led a lot, which at this stage of proceedings, where so many of the couples are looking so polished, is slightly worrying. But Zoe thinks things are “going well”, conceding though that they had a “slow start”. “We just don’t want to be humiliated” the couple told BtD, “but everyone’s really good!”. For Phil, the judges scores matter the most, but Zoe’s RAG focused mind is thinking about all the money that could be raised for charity. BtD recommends Zoe gets her head in the game. Wildcats.
Finally, time for BtD’s favourite; The Nathan Burles Button Countdown, counting down the number of buttons left done-up on Nathan Burles, dancing with Anna Bucks, shirt. This week we are down to 2. It’s getting hot & heavy!!
