'Sharking' involves running in circles around people standing on chairs pretending to surf. You have one arm over your head like a fin and another arm behind your back like a tail. It was rather bizarre! I think it was done to a Beach Boys song but I'm not 100% sure.
And don't even get me started on the Bohemian Rhapsody one! All I know is I can't remember the words and that's probably a good thing

You uploading any to You Tube? I've found some - to show my hubby (probably not the best idea in the world as now he thinks I'm madder than ever lol) - but haven't found a decent one of Dr Who or Star Trekkin' though. Anyone else found any?
It's so funny when eveyone goes wrong. As you say, it's part of the fun of the Con dances. Even though I've been to lots of Cons I never used to go to the parties initially (mad I know) & don't know half the dances, so I'm up for learning some more.

Eric Breker said at Wolf SG11 (I think it was 11 - whichever most recent one he was at) when we were chatting to him at the bar, that he was doing the Star Trekkin' dance at the last Con & someone shoved him on the floor when it came to the 'he's dead Jim' so he ended up being one of them lol
Me & my friend said we always wondered how they chose who colapsed on the floor & now we knew <g>

The Bohemian Rhapsody one was another dance where I had no idea what they were doing, and wasn't really paying attention to the dance floor. Like you said, it was probably a good thing.

Originally posted by Sheppard's Delight View PostOh you need Listy to show you - she picked them up really quickly! She is our nominated con dancer ( which means the rest of us basically just watch)
Originally posted by Sheppard's Delight View PostOh for sure!!!!! I think it is a requirement! Although for me to do them I would have to be so drunk I think it would be dangerous!
I have clips of a fair number of con dances somewhere on my PC

Originally posted by Listy View PostThe ones I had a go of were really easy, and loads of fun, although I really didn't know what I was getting myself into on the star trekking one, came as a bit of a shock when I found my self hurtling towards the centre of the room at speed, in high heels!!!
Must remember to get SheppyD and the whumpers sloshed on champagne so we can all con dance together
