There's a big difference between trusting your insincts and assuming, isn't there?
Personally I believe that instinct will tell us when there is mutual enjoyment in a dance, but unless that instinct or other experience with the person you're dancing with exists, it's not safe to assume, no.
Still: part of the joy of dancing is the fun you can have finding out!
i think the best way to tell if a partner enjoyed your dance is if they ask you for another. Thats the most flattering thing for me to receive,,, second dance request. love it.
Always a good sure sign, either later in the evening or straight after the first
I also have had the same experiences as woodface, that look that you can see in the eyes, the feeling that the lady is purely there on sufferance even though she asked you to dance. It can be very off putting
Straightjackets and tango walks usually wake most of my partners up I find. Possible both at once if I feel particularly vindictive.
I asked someone for a second dance on Friday, I think. I had to go for a lie down to recover after that though, the shock was a bit too much for my system.
Even if they just ask me again on another occasion. I know that someone is not likely to ask me to dance again and again if they really don't enjoy it. (Eventually I might even ask them!).
Its lovely when the dance has been good and neither person actually asks for a second dance, you just keep on dancing together for several tracks.
I smile when dancing and its pretty rare that I can't find something to enjoy about any dance. But there are ones when something really clicks with a partner, they/you try something different and it works, you're both hearing the music the same way, lots of possible reasons. You both have a big smile and 'that was a fab dance' comments for each other at the end. And you know its not just 'being polite', that you've both really enjoyed it.
Gosh, how awful. That's one nice thing about me, if I say so myself - I may not be the greatest dancer in the world, but no one could accuse me of being a miserable scrote on the dancefloor. (In fact, I get a lot of blokes grumbling to me about how miserable a lot of the other ladies are. It does puzzle me.)
I can remember a girl coming to the Belfast Class way back in February for a few weeks.
When I danced with her either in the class or freestyle she never smiled and indeed seemed 'very flat' to use an expression. Upon exchanging notes with a few other males in the class, they all had the same experience with the girl. However it turns out she was after a man! Well she did get her man. Those of us who know this particular individual will be quite certain that the girl had an interesting evening, she has never been back to the class since!
There is nothing that I enjoy more than dancing with a girl who knows what she is doing. There is a definate buzz between myself and the lady.
We have some very good dancers in Belfast and they are always a joy to lead.
It is also good when the two of us can laugh at our mistakes, particularly when it comes to those rather twisty intermediate moves!
Yep. About 1/3 of forumites dance two dances as standard, according to the last poll we had on the subject.
