Over festive festivals!

You’re standing in the sunshine, its about 28 degrees, not a cloud in the sky. You’ve got your best sunnies on and listening to some of your favourite tunes live, drinking a beer (albeit in a can) when POW! Some idiot comes running through the crowd, knocks you into the bunch of girls standing next to you and spills your beer over the them… I know what you’re thinking, it’s just not right – NO ONE should be allowed to waste a beer! 

This seems to be a pretty standard experience in the festival world, but more and more I am seeing it converted from the festival field to the corporate dance floor – what’s with the worlds lack of dance floor etiquette??

So I thought I might outline my top 5 rules in dance floor etiquette for you all just in case you do happen to see me getting jiggy with it somewhere (it does happen from time to time)

1. When ‘dancing’ (if that’s what you call it) please be careful not to hit me, or more importantly, my beer
2. If in an area where you are shoulder to shoulder and cannot move, please don’t light a cigarette and consequently burn a whole in my shirt
3. If you really want to see the act that’s playing, then how about you go to the front of the stage before they start, rather then pushing your way through in the middle of the set
4. Before cranking the sprinkler or trying to do that break dance move you’ve never been able to do, you should definitely have that shot – NOT
5. Just because you’ve had 27 drinks, it does not make you Usher, and it certainly does not make you any more attractive (me on other hand, god I’m a great dancer after a few vinos!)

All in all, I think the above is pretty much stock standard manners and not rocket science…

But if you do happen to see me moon walking across the dance floor, don’t be afraid to come bust a groove with me – unless you’ve seen me smash back a shot before doing the sprinkler across the dance floor with a smoke hanging out my mouth!

Ps. For those of you in the West, head to down to Luxe Bar October 26^th to see the return of DJ BJ (that’s me) at Groupie Wednesday in the ultimate amateur DJ battle – Fags vs Hags! If you mention this blog, then the sprinkler moves are on me!
