		The most common question we get around London is...
		  | 
	 
	
		| 
		 | 
		"Where's the best place to do your kind of dancing?"  
		  | 
	 
	
		| 
		 | 
		
		 | 
		  and, for the past 5+ years, our answer (only partly in jest) has been... 
		  | 
	 
	
		| 
		 | 
		
		 | 
		
		 | 
		  "Toronto, Detroit or the Carolinas!"  
		  | 
	 
 
	
		This exchange is usually followed immediately by...
		  | 
	 
	
		| 
		 | 
		"Yeah, but I mean where's the best place right here in London?"  
		  | 
	 
	
		| 
		 | 
		
		 | 
		  to which our serious answer has long been ... 
		  |

		  "our basement!"... the only place in London we can count on, where
- the dancefloor is clean, and the room well-ventilated,
 - we don't have to avoid drinks or lit cigarettes while dancing,
 - there are no tables/serving areas on the dance floor,
 - the music is PERFECT!! ...and starts before 10pm!! :-) 
 - AND "the DJ" knows how to dance!    *

 * In contrast to what we find in other cities where the DJ is often one of the best dancers present, we love to tell the story of an established London DJ we encountered a few years ago.    We asked him to play a 'Cha-cha'.    He said he didn't have one ...and let us know he didn't appreciate that question!    We let it drop.    Three songs later, he played "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys.    See what we mean?             We didn't have the heart to tell him it was perfect for Shag too...  :-)
