Dirty Dancing Full Movie and Quotes!

I'm sure you've all found this on YouTube, but in case you haven't – full movie here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4Ozy7V7An0

So, quotes I'm expecting to hear on 3 Nov:

'She was in the Rockettes you know...'
''Come on ladies: God wouldn't have given you maracas unless he wanted you to shake them!'
'What's she doin here?' 'I carried a watermelon'
'What does he have that I don't have?' 'Two hotels'
'Go back to your playpen, Baby'
'She can't even do the Merengue!' I can't even do the Merengue!!'
'Start on the 2, forward on the 2! Head up! No spaghetti arms! Keep your frame! This is my dance space, and that is your dance space!'
'It's a heartbeat – gu-gum, gu-gum...'
'How did you become a dance teacher?' 'I saw an ad for Arthur Murrays – if you pass the test, they train in you in all sorts of dances!'
'What's your real name, Baby?' 'Frances' 'Frances! That's a very grown-up name.'
'I feel the changes – will the kids want to carry on coming here with their parents to learn the Foxtrot?'
And – of course:
'Nobody puts Baby in the corner!'

I'm planning on teaching Merengue and Mambo and keeping the Time of My LIfe track for a stupid all-in grand finale.... – and we can chuck in a Love is Strange cha cha and some very dirty mambo-jive-grind!! See you all on Monday morn for some Dirty Dancing!

websites from Maz

Complicitehttp://www.complicite.org/flash/
dont like this site, too complicated, navigation is to small, things to click are tiny and can't see them

nest collectivehttp://thenestcollective.co.uk
clear headings, i like moving mouse over things and animations happen - go over some of the bunting. feels like who they are. however the front page is very cluttered with informations, prefer clean opening page and then click to get more info.

Ragroof Theatre - http://www.ragrooftheatre.co.uk/index.php
buttons that move, like the animation. Promoters area is very helpful to me, calls when I am in a field with my hair in rollers means i can give people photos/blurb/tech specs when they need them - we need to be able to upload and change these ourselves though as they change very quickly.
Very Different shows are tied together in the icons on the theatre productions page, black silhouettes, gives a history and a feeeeel to the company.


Tour dates page - funny i can't find any i like really, this one
 http://www.onedirection.net/tour-dates/#uk2014 has a filter so we could have a filter on saying show me tour dates in London or Brighton for example. I actually like the lay out of the face book events, where you can have a wee picture beside each event to give it some identity. I like months being clearly seperated as they are on One Directions site. dates need to be good and clear with different colours or fonts to pull out informations like Tea dance Time venue book here
something like this http://www.almeida.co.uk/events/


Social networking needs for our website
able to like on Facebook, twitter, and pinterest

http://www.palais-de-danse.co.uk/
this is similar to what I imagine
