Crummy floors

[QPO]

well then think of it as a replacement - just get yourself some umbrella drinks to get the whole experience...

Captain Johns Seafood restaurant. It's a boat (ship?) moored at the Toronto harbourfront. The 'dancefloor' is curved in both axes. AND it's sloping front to back. AND it's uneven. One corner dips away absurdly so.
One spin towards the lowest point is like falling over. One spin FROM the lowest point is like running uphill wearing lead boots. Thank good ness I don't have to spin (unless I am rarely following).

Also, the floor at one of the local schools. We (plus wifey) did a demo there, two sets on one occasion (theme was world cultures - partner dnacing fitted in really well). Two feet back from the edge (4ft drop) the floor was heavily splintered. No warm up, no practice, no familiarisation. We walk on and the music starts and we perform - all freestyle, 11 dances in 8 minutes (1.5 second between songs, 9 Int (no PD), plus salsa/merengue).

Also the floor at the Polish community centre (?) in London Ontario. The slickest floor I have ever had the opportunity to try to break my ankle on (and I've been on many). I don't dance there anymore. Twice was enough, and the second time was just confirmation.

I had no idea that that rusting barge in the harbour harboured a dance floor! 
Sounds like you  get the whole 'dancing in a sou'wester' experience...
