Hello, I'm Carriad. I'm Sarah. And we are the Weirdo's Book Club podcast. We are doing a very special live show as part of the London Podcast Festival. The date is Thursday, 11th of September. The date is 7pm and our special guest is the brilliant Alan Davies. Tickets from kingsplace. It's coming to London. True on Saturday the 13th of September. At the London Podcast Festival. The rumours are true. Saturday the 13th of September at King's Place. Oh, that sounds like a date to me, Harriet.
Soho. We'll keep going.
Thank you so much for being here.
Tessa, how you doing? I'm feeling
electric. I've had two disaronos
and Coke, and I feel wild.
But of course, we're not
alone today. We are joined by
our incredibly special guest.
We're incredibly excited. Friend of a podcast.
And then, friend of the world.
The nation's darling, but we want
everyone to know that she was our darling before she
became your darling.
What a reveal.
Yeah, are you ready to introduce our guest?
Oh my God, I'm doing it.
Okay, so.
A comedian, actor, singer.
Singer.
Singer.
Dancer.
Personality.
You may have seen her on Strictly come dancing.
You may.
You did and you must.
Please, everybody, please give a massive warm, strictly come dancing.
Welcome to Jade Adams.
You look electric.
Oh, thanks, babe.
Did you get the part?
Well, well, no.
Oh.
Did you tell them what I was doing?
No, I didn't know.
Oh.
So I was in, I sent them a text saying, I'm sorry, I'm late because I was meant to be here 45 minutes ago.
And I sent them a text saying I was casting, but I wasn't the one.
The power.
No wonder you look like this.
You're the casting couch.
I was holding the auditions.
For your new series.
For my new series, yes.
Excellent.
We were here, well, we?
We weren't in the room for that.
I see.
That's fine.
What a way to find out.
I haven't got it.
Gosh.
But so obviously...
Okay, well, thanks for coming everyone.
Yeah, and that's the end of that.
No, obviously, the episode we're going to be doing
for everybody knows what it is already,
because it's got to be, is how to dance.
It's going to be very difficult
because we're both obviously professional dances.
Absolutely can't cross a stage.
So there may be some visual element.
I might want you to dip me at some point.
You don't have to do so.
I can do that.
Thanks.
I was sort of, you know, just off the job of my head.
But before we do that, we have this.
thing which we do at the start of every episode, which is the most adult grown-up thing we've done
this week.
And we're not going to do one.
We've asked the audience to put them in pint glasses, and then we get to decide the most
fun one, and the most fun one gets this very small cushion that we stole from the podcast
awards.
Did you win?
No.
That's a lovely little pillow.
It's good in it.
Yeah.
Okay, so took a risk in order tequila and apple juice, capital, rather than my boring, usual,
smiley face.
quite good.
Oh.
I went for a two-course meal on my own.
It's confident.
That's what that is.
I couldn't do that.
I'd go one course and I'd freak out.
I do seven-course tasting menus by myself.
That's really good.
She's doing well.
She's thriving.
She's thriving.
Roasted a chicken ready for the week as Sunday.
Chicken soup and Sarni's yum yum.
Oh, on, sorry.
Roasted a chicken, ready for the week.
You've written on as and as,
because you can't, basically you've got a lovely handwriting whoever this is.
It's cursive, so, oh yeah, she knows what the word cursive means.
Roasted a chicken, ready for the week on Sunday.
Chicken soup and sarnoise, yum, yum, and then a smiley face,
where the eyes are too close together and they look like nostrils.
It's important to really critique the work.
Oh, and then she's crumpled it and that's just gone.
Oh, planned and attended a 33rd birthday party.
That's fun.
Oh, that's very kind of you all.
Holy shit.
Explained Sunday noise laws to my scaffolder.
An actual adult in the room.
It's getting...
Oh, it's exciting for you.
And had to be...
And had to be a bit passive-aggressive.
That was apparent.
Cooked a Christmas dinner practice run.
Holy.
Wow.
That is grown up.
A practice run for Christmas.
dinner. Wow.
The disdain.
I don't want to brag, but I was
making roast dinners by the age of 12, so I
don't need a practice. Really?
Look. Look. Just, I didn't have any mates
when I was younger. So my
mum used to let me stand next to her
and watch her cook. So it meant I could cook
at a young age. There is a sad element to that
brag. Go on. What's your next one?
Explain to airport security
person what my vaginal
moisturiser was for menopausal women
That is really grown up, literally.
That is grown up.
I cooked and ate vegetables.
Come on.
Right.
Somebody in here has booked a scaffolder.
May I say that the energy of these adult things are quite negative
and we need to be much more supportive.
Tessa.
Told my boss, I didn't understand the task when she asked
instead of panicking and just saying,
yes, no worries.
Yeah, that's good, that's good.
That's a good word.
That's a nice one.
But I made them do that.
So is that for the pillow?
We don't know.
Yeah, nice.
Okay, how are we going to decide who wins?
I got one.
Okay, yeah.
Try to end an affair.
Where are you?
Oopsie Daisy.
Obviously that's won,
but I don't think they'll want to put their hand up to get the pillow.
That's my issue.
This one just says,
I won the biggest construction challenge competition.
That's quite good.
It's such a good one.
Oh, increase my pension.
contributions to 10%. You can't end on that though, can you?
It's like a good one. It's good. It's really good. And I've done it recently. But like,
is that, is that a big, is that a closer? I think we had to have ended on a fair and just
thrown the pillow out. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Told my recent ex of 10 years to get a fucking grip and
stop crying. Mamma mia, you are such a spicy group tonight.
I know. But also all of you deserve the pillow. And in a way, in a way, if you're disappointed,
did you really want a pillow?
So like it's fine.
Okay, right.
We're going to do how to dance.
Let's start with all our various dancing journeys.
I can't move at all, at all.
I can attest to that.
We used to be in a sketch group together,
and we did a number of dances
because, of course, we have a number of unresolved dreams.
Musical bit.
And I couldn't hear the rhythm.
And Stevie used to just have to tap me
to say one.
and when I was supposed to move
and without fail
I went the wrong way every time.
But beaming, very happy.
Oh, so thrilled to be here.
I have also danced in the opening ceremony
of the Olympic Games.
When if people, I tell people,
I tell people I was in a piece called
Evolution to Life,
which was 12 people doing a very powerful
contemporary dance. I was in fact,
one of 107 David Bowies
in the piece that was
Like music through the ages.
I remember this bit.
Yeah.
I wanted to be...
You were directed by Danny Boyle for that.
By Danny Boyle.
Yeah.
Did you meet him?
Yes, yes.
Oh, cool.
We rehearsed for nine months.
I...
On the night.
That seems excessive.
Yeah.
I went the wrong way.
It was overworked.
That happens.
Too much.
Tip for you all.
If you're making summer,
don't do too much before and, you know?
Swing it.
Too much.
Stevie, your dance experience?
I mean, I should have gone first
because mine's just like...
No, it's never.
Yeah, I'll have a dance.
I've not been a David Bowie.
Dance school, dance classes at school?
I love that.
After school.
After school dance club?
No, no.
I grew up in poverty.
I did I have after school?
Was there dancing at your school?
No, there was one dance group.
Miss McKay led it.
In my head, she was like 21 or something.
And she was really cool and she was quite fit.
and also fit.
And we did a big dance to Enrique and Glazeus
is Balamos.
Anyone, is he in Ricky in?
Balamos.
Make a rhythm, beat, and mumbo, balamos.
Yeah, titoero, batseio.
He's on there.
He's in the room twice.
So, and there's a lot of, like, sexy dancing.
And I think Ms. McKay was getting a lot of hurt.
She was actually going through a divorce at the time.
I think she'd get a lot out on sort of like 11-year-olds,
like feeling themselves.
So I went to two, and I couldn't,
really keeping the feeling time.
So I'd feel myself at the wrong point.
And now we bring you to Jade.
What's your dancing journey, Jade?
The dancing journey.
From the beginning.
Yeah, we'll take the beginning.
Born in 19...
So in 1984...
No, in 1983, a woman, a travelling woman
knocked on the door of one woman called Gayle Adams
and told her that she was going to have a blonde child
and everyone was going to know her name.
Wow.
True story.
Is it?
That's wild.
And then you came out dancing.
I came out holding.
her coil.
Mum's always said that that's what happened, but
you know, I love a good story. Where do I get it from?
Do you remember the first time you ever danced?
Yeah, so I was five or six years old.
My auntie Julie, a dad's sister,
he's one of six. And his sister ran a freestyle
disco dancing school, which is the most culturally breathed
form of dance known to man.
But a bit of fun though, isn't it? A bit of fun. And all of the
girls in the family, bar one, all the granddaughters, we all did
freestyle disco dancing and I did it for 13 years and they're sorry what's fri so like what I just did
then no no so basically it is it's like so it's like it's like sports and athletics and dance in one
mash and you basically have to be really fast really flexible and you dance to techno music for about
90 seconds just like high in terms the interval training but on the floor you wear a lot of lycra a lot of
diamonds I also
in high intensity disco dancing.
Do you do disco Latin?
Did you?
I went to...
You didn't mention that in your history of dance.
No, I actually forgot
because I was incredibly bad.
But I went to like,
you had to get like bronze award.
You went to like do a thing
and do a little thing and get a little medal.
You see, uh, DDFA.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I, um...
Can someone just show?
Can you, what moves are we talking?
There's so much kicking.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
There's so much kicking.
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Okay, I'm gonna audio describe
the audio listeners.
J's got up.
She's removed her sweater.
She's kicked the chair.
She's moved the chair.
She's now taking the mic.
My DMs are open.
Is it a describeable?
Okay, so yeah, I see you.
I've got a way to describe it for the people at home.
You know, in the Olympics, at the gymnastics,
you know when they don't make it quite into the corner,
and then they have to do a little dance
before their next impressive flip.
Yes.
That.
That, that.
But just, but it's so much that.
Lots of kicks.
Lots of bits.
So basically, the beginner start
as intermediate and champs are the
four levels in each
age category. I did it for
13 years. So
when you're in beginners you can't wear
sparkles. When you get to start
starters you can wear sparkles.
Okay, wow. I remember that.
Yeah. I
my sister and various several members
of the school managed to get to champs.
I stayed in starters for 13 years.
Could you were like sparkly? Sparkly
sparkly like pants underneath so you felt like
you were part of the sparkles. But I did get to
sparkles because you get to wear them in starters.
So my mum made our costumes.
Okay. Oh, lovely. She made our costumes.
I like lots of, I'm sure your parents read to you as kids, but my mum gave herself carpal tunnel
syndrome from putting Tarrosky crystals in their thousands. It used to be sequins with
beads. That was nuts because it was like that. Sorosky crystals happened.
And then for the purposes of the listeners, I just did an impression of what it's like to glue
Sorosky crystals onto a costume. But you put them in your mouth.
She's licking her finger.
Oh, lick them up, get the glue.
There is.
Sorry, everyone.
Sorry.
So we did that for 13 years.
My sister and I danced together.
I sort of held her back a bit.
And then, I then, I then sort of,
I was, you know, like, I liked getting,
I like the costumes.
And so I was doing, like, drag at the age of eight.
I was, like, wearing fake tan, false eyelashes.
Picking her eyes and in drag.
So, you know, the costume,
you know, taste from Fruples,
Race UK, you know the costumes
that Taste wears that are always
quite high cut. They're made by someone
called Derek Anthony Purcell and he runs a company
called Bang London and those costumes are
freestyle disco dancing costumes because
Derek Anthony Purcell used to do freestyle disco dancing
and I know I can spot
on my mile off so I can always like I can
Is anyone wearing one in here?
I'd be able to know if you did freestyle disco dance
and we all know each other. It's a very small set
The Tesla wasn't involved in clearly
Did you compete?
No, Christ and I was hopeless.
It was just happening in the village hall on a Wednesday afternoon.
And you had to do a lot of stag leaps and stuff.
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I'm not.
And then, but we never made it to Sparkles.
I remember going to the, not the competition.
The leisure centre.
To be judged by like seven women.
Yovil?
Who?
Yovil?
A place called Yov.
I thought you meant one of the judges.
And I was like, I don't remember the judge's name.
Sandra Yon.
over. Yeah, that was it.
Yeah, oh, we went all over the country
to do our little, like, to get our little bronze medal.
And I just remember my dad having to, like, drive us there.
And then I just remember looking across at him once, he went, oh, God.
Like, he just was like, what, she's hopeless?
Like, what is she doing, you know?
This is a good way to just bring out to sort of advice.
Yeah.
Which is that, like, because one of the questions I was going to ask you, Jada,
is say if you are hopeless, and your dad just goes, does go, oh.
Like, what can you, how do you emotionally get your,
You were there starters, 13 years.
That may have been an obstacle for some people, you know,
to not have, like, you know, won the Oscars of Dance after 13 years.
But you did, and you progressed.
Well, what, I didn't ever progress.
In your heart, in your soul, you progressed.
I won one medal in 13 years.
That's really good.
One.
I won fourth place with my sister.
And I remember the wall of compliments that when we came off stage,
we walked through this wall of compliments where people were, like,
really surprised I'd done well.
And I remember thinking, I like that.
I remember thinking I like the compliments.
But the thing is what it gave me,
and I think this has been quite startling for some people
in stand-up comedy when they've met me,
as I have this incredible sense of confidence
because I don't fear failing,
because there is no art without failure,
but I learnt that from failing at this free-tile discredit dancing
for 13 years.
So basically, the advice is,
if you've got kids and you're, like,
worried about them succeeding,
don't let your kids peak at school,
let them be fucking shit
and if your kid is good looking
and there's nothing wrong with it
like just give it a shoe
that makes them walk with a limp or something
because if you've got popular kids
your kid's going to be a dick when it's older
and it's going to be useless
it's going to be so useless
it's not going to know how to get through stuff
it's not going to be able to like
be I mean
you understand yeah
you've been there
But I, like, it meant in comedy, for example,
I turned up and actually being shit at comedy wasn't a problem
because I, and I knew that I had to beat shit
in order to get good at it eventually.
And it's given me this real hardiness
to be able to handle dying on stage,
which a lot, you know, you're still brave for doing stand-up.
It ain't that brave. You get used to, like, failing.
And then you get better at not failing
because the failing actually teaches you how to get out of the failures
if you get me.
So it's basically do it. So like, if you're thinking, like,
I want to dance, but I'm bad,
go to the class, go to the thing,
don't let that stop you because
it will teach you how to fail.
And that was the best way of learning.
Yeah, exactly. And everyone was shit at the start.
My dance partner in Strictly
often renowned as being one of the best dancers
on Strictly come dancing. She's been in it for 11 years.
But she used to be shit at it
when she first started. She wasn't amazing at it.
And I think sometimes you see the product
of a lot of hard work and think I want to be like that.
And that's too big a goal.
Start small and then just like, oh, I'll do a bit of this.
and then I fuck that up, I'm going to not fuck that up again.
But I think that's why I think it was natural for me to come into stand that comedy.
It also was because I hated dancing so much.
And so I just, but I loved making people laugh.
That was something I've always done.
So like from, I used to be really disruptive in freestyle disco dancing.
So we used to do it in the village hall as well.
Parque Florin, add loads of splinters.
Yeah, your foot was riddled with blood.
I don't need to wear shoes.
My feet are strong enough to handle.
They're not shoes.
I can...
On your feet.
Just bare foot.
I've got feet of a beast.
I can scale a building quite often.
My toenails grow real quick.
I don't know if that's a symptom of free-side-old-old-old-old.
You've mentioned Karen, like when you were doing strictly,
were there things?
Because what I'm interested in,
as somebody that can only do the sort of like basic club moves,
it's mainly just me throwing wine everywhere and screaming the lyrics.
The ways that I can, like, for example,
just like little tips and tricks that you learn
to kind of pull a move together.
Anything that you've learned in your entire dance journey,
they will help me in the club.
It's all about confidence, really.
God.
It's just...
I know.
It's really hard.
Confidence is such a personal journey
and you'll go through it in your life,
but I'm telling you the key to anything.
I'll tell you a story.
I once got a phone call,
and someone was phoning up,
and they were like, Jay, do you know any palm readers?
And I said, oh, what's it for?
And they said, I've got this gig up in Leeds.
We need a palm reader for it.
Do you know any?
And I said, how much is it?
and they say it's 250 quid
and I went, I'm a palm reader.
I think you and Tessa are very similar.
It's from the disco, years of disco dancing.
I've just been like, it's all those stag leaps
were like, yeah, I'll fucking give that a go.
Yeah, why not?
Just do it.
Just do it.
So I went up there and I did the job as a palm reader.
I started getting really accurate.
A woman came in, and at the end of the day,
I just got, I don't know what, I got a tune.
My fucking Jost sticks were really making me feel.
Sound like a palm reader.
No, I really, my jaw sticks.
Like, I'm in, like, the 80s.
I'm really convincing.
But I, like, you know, I've been doing it all day, and I got kind of tired.
I think that's when the cosmos just, like, started really connecting with me.
Because this girl comes in and she gives me her hands.
And I've done, like, a little bit.
Basically, how I learned to do it was on YouTube.
I just went on YouTube.
I looked at it every day.
What is palm?
So I read this woman's palm and I just went, oh, you work with kids.
And she went, wow.
How did you know?
and I was like, just,
mm.
And I was surprised.
I was like, oh, I'm getting really good at this.
And then I said, you work with kids.
I noticed she had calluses on her hand as well.
So they were quite rough.
And I went, you do gardening.
And she was like, oh, my God, what?
And I was like, you teach children through gardening, don't you?
And basically what she does is teach children
who have learning difficulties, maths through gardening.
Wow.
Wow.
nuts.
Now, what I'll say to you
is you can't do this with like brain
surgery.
Okay, you can't. Or driving.
Or anything like that requires
you being in charge of other people's lives.
But if it's just your life, just make it up.
And that's how you become a palm reader.
But it's a confidence thing.
Is our take home from that story
the manner in which you just said things
to this woman?
Yeah.
Yeah.
But it's just like, you know,
just say it.
What I'm saying,
is I look like I'm a better dancer than I actually am.
And when I stand next to a champion ballroom dancer,
it does show up a bit, which is what the nation told me.
It used to be a thousand people in a leisure centre that told me.
And I was like, you know what?
I'm an adult now and I've learned the ways of confidence.
I'm going to just like throw myself into ballroom dancing
and turns out nine million people on a Saturday
also think I can't dance either.
But what was interesting was the reason I did, so I looked at stats, right?
And the reason I did really well on the weeks I did well on is because I like, it was connected to a story.
So like my flash dance week was all like body positive.
Thanks babe.
I smashed it.
It was my body positive week.
And I had the week where I was talking about my sister and stuff and there was all that connection.
But the week, the week with Victoria Wood is fucking Karen knows fuck all about Victoria Wood.
There was no connection to it.
And basically I was just like throwing her around, which apparently.
is less impressive when I do it,
but when Hamza does it, everyone goes fucking nuts.
This is good stuff.
It's not how to dance, it's just let's go.
Do you know how hard it is to fucking lift a woman
100 times in a week? It's hard, all right?
I can carry a fridge by myself.
I did it once, up some steps,
but doing it 100 times in days, I work.
What I'm getting to is
the reason people liked it so much
because I was incredibly confident
and incredibly happy whilst I did it.
And that just sells anything
to anyone. When you look
nervous with anything, then
people don't really enjoy it.
It's the art of stand-up, you know.
It's the art of fucking being on stage and doing live
performance. When you walk onto that
dance floor, Stevie, and
there's people stood around and everyone's
dancing on that dance floor.
I mean, I'll tell you, Sama, I
have cleared many a dance floor.
And you just
walk into the middle of it.
Don't be dancing on the sides.
What the fuck are you doing over there?
Sorry.
You hear a song, it gets you going.
I'll tell you what a good floor filler is.
George Michael outside.
Could you give us a bit for people like me
who don't know any songs?
I think I'm done with the sofa.
I think I'm done with the hall.
I think I'm done with the kitchen table, baby.
Give me a beat.
Let's go out.
Don't make me do the beat.
In the sunshine.
I know you want to, but you can say.
Stevie got up.
Inside.
Let's go outside.
Believe.
Believe.
Believe.
Take me to the places that I love.
Yes.
Yeah.
I've been bad.
That's too liberating.
I was going to go too far then.
It says no filming in photography and I regret that.
That was so powerful.
That was really good.
I think when you, when you, like just when you,
when you got up earlier to show, how are you feeling?
It's because the moment before she went,
get up to do you, I was like, I should get up.
And that's a real lesson in just get up.
Just get up.
That wouldn't have been better if I'd just been like,
yeah!
Both of you have shown us moves this evening.
And like when you got up earlier,
the jacket came off.
We were all ready, we're beside ourselves, you know?
Like, it's just this like, and now the show.
You know, like it just, as long as you just believe
and you step forward with confidence,
what you actually do is sort of irrelevant.
Unless you being like judged specifically, I suppose,
like in the club it's irrelevant.
But even like what Jade saying about like,
you know, like she was so like into the song,
sorry, into the dance and she knew it and she had a story
and she was in.
Yeah, absolutely.
As opposed to the time when that connection maybe wasn't there,
but when she's like, I believe and I'm totally invested.
Were you as confident with the Victoria Wood dance,
which is what I'm calling it, as the others?
Or did you feel differently about that dance?
I did feel differently.
It was a weird fucking week actually.
That's interesting.
So then that logic, then that holds true.
If you're going in not as sure of something, then that, you know, you can't, you know.
It was too simple a dance, I thought.
The choreographers are wicked, so they bring in extra people to come in and choreograph some of the dances.
Because, like, you know, Charleston isn't actually, the Charleston isn't done in ballroom competitions.
They've just got it in there for Strictly.
But it is like a whole thing.
They do, like, Lindy Hop and Charleston.
They bring in experts.
But I personally felt like the, the, you know, the, you know,
the dance was a little bit too simple, but also, I will say, like, I, I got no fucking praise,
not once from anyone about the lifts.
Like, if I was a bloke lifting someone, they all, like, all the blokes, as soon as they lift
someone, they get, like, loads of, like, they get loads of praise for it.
And I didn't get fucking one bit of praise for the lifts that was doing.
Did you see the one on the grief week where I fucking hooked an arm in and I held her up
off the floor with just my elbow?
Not one person.
It's not on.
They were unbelievable.
But they looked, and maybe it's because they looked
so exquisite when you did it that they,
but it just had this like, well, that's a professional,
effortless. Yeah, she often just hooks people
with her elbow. They were unbelievable.
They were unbelievable.
Thanks very much.
But it was an incredible experience.
And what it did to me was
I think there was part of me in my life
that believed that everyone
was incorrect when I was at freestyle
disco dancing. And what
has actually been really humbling for me.
is actually figuring out that even though I have been wambling on
for the last 11 years that I'm an octuple threat,
I am actually a septuple threat.
And I'm okay about that.
That's swell.
But I am fucking strong.
But you are a good dancer.
You're holding yourself to a standard that is like a standard that, you know,
for me, for example, I would go, yeah, I'm a fun dancer.
If I wasn't strictly, I couldn't, I would not be on strictly
because I couldn't even pass the first test
because I'm sure a first test that you have to do
like there's some of the hunger games or something
but you can if in a room
in the club we're going club level
you can dance confidence A
B any more things that you picked up
on strictly that you feel like
you could give to the general public who hate you
they love you
I'm joking
there are some that do
no they love you
no it's true I I clap the back of the wall
you're in the club
I'm in the club
a circle has formed God forbid
already the assholes of the room have tightened.
Yeah.
Because everyone's like, okay, someone's in, Jeremy's in, he seems to be doing well.
But in a moment someone's going to push me in to the circle
and I'm going to have to be in the middle of the circle
and I've got 30 seconds in here, what am I going to do?
What do you do?
I can't take him for today.
Because everyone will hold my arms and throw me in.
I'm going in with confidence like Jade says,
but when I get in there, 30 seconds, what am I doing?
You've done the arms.
If I may, I haven't progressed from this moment since 2004, Christina
regular errors drop, split the legs and back up.
That's very good. That you drop,
and knees apart and then roll.
I really think one of the best things you could do in that situation
is pause and just look at everyone for a moment.
So bold.
And wait, and wait for the music to drop.
I think that's the perfect time.
Interesting. So you're going to get into the music at a random bit in the track,
so you can't really guess that. So I'd basically go in
and wait for the next...
So you know, normally it's with basic pop music, it's four counts.
Tessus, I'm going to fall off her chair.
Three, three, four.
My nose is bleeding.
Oh, do you remember?
Okay, this is quite a niche reference.
Cheryl Cole, just after she'd been cheated on by Ashley.
And she is in white and she basically comes on and she does a fight for this love.
Yeah.
And but she does a whole.
Yeah.
You remember, you know what she's doing?
Yeah, she's looking around.
Yeah.
So she basically just puts, she jumps up.
and then she waits and then she like just turns
and then waits for the count of the music
and then goes I reckon a ball's the go
what's the go? Oh you want the beginning of the next
count of four
no what's that?
What's the show?
Okay so can show us do this and then just do that again?
And you're just looking and then you just leave the circle.
I mean okay the first
this is all built where are we going?
Yeah I like you know tension release where's the release
well I'd say a spin is always the first
Powerful.
Okay, okay, okay.
I can spin, so like maybe a leg over like that.
A leg over.
Let yourself spin around.
For everyone at home, it's cross.
Keep that weight on the leg that's crossed.
And then we're round.
And then push yourself around.
Then you're staring dead into his eyes.
I'd say, then I'd go into a pleia.
What the fuck is that?
Okay, you get your crotch out.
I think that's dead strong.
Yeah, your crutch out.
You're sort of doing a double lunge both ways.
Yeah, that's what we're saying.
So that is.
Do you know what a really good dance move is?
Yeah.
It's the candy dance.
It's the electric slide.
It's the best dance move.
So basically, who in here has done the,
who knows the electric slide?
Yeah.
Yeah, there's someone in here.
Do you know it well enough to come up?
And nobody panicked first.
You're on the...
Jane's going to you.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So then you're among friends.
And then, yeah, this is actually confidence in action, right?
Can we get candy?
up at the back, but in a second when we feel ready to have...
And if not, that's fine.
If not, that's fine.
If not, that's fine.
The jackets are all...
Oh, I do know it.
We all know it.
Okay, okay.
Any dance with Jade!
Intelligentible episode, if anyone listening.
That was an episode we were expecting,
but it was the episode we needed.
Jade, thank you so much.
