I've been reading these boards for ages and am now finally joining.
For a while now I've been curious to know how London Uk would be for an ethnic dancer? I'm half Scottish and half Indian, but I got the darker features and darker skin coloring. I've danced in many places in North America and have always done well, and most of my clients were white. I can say over here I have never experienced racism.
The reason I am a bit worried about London is that I did experience some racism over there when I was younger as a kid, and it stuck with me as I never got this anywhere else. I've since been back to London as an adult and I haven't had any major problems, but I know there is more racism in England.
Also my black friend (who is georgeous btw) told me that when she was dancing she approached an Englishman and asked him for a dance. He gave her a disgusted look and said, 'I don't want any monkey dancing for me'. What's more is the management didn't even kick this guy out! She had danced all over the world and had only heard those comments and other comments like that coming from English people - She had several racist incidents.
Anyway, I just wanted to get some feedback from anyone in the UK or who has danced in England. I am in shape and look good, but I wanted to know what to prepare myself for and if there were any good club to start out at etc.
thanks for any advice and info![]()
