forearm smash to the eye last night it hurt !! who had a similar problem!!
Was this at the J11 Club? I got stiletto'd there
I had an Elbow to the face from the guy I was dancing with once. I AM a beginner, and he'd been telling me all about how good he was, too!
And someone almost pulled my arm off when I didn't return fast enough, and they tried to yank my arm down my back.
Both on the same night, in the same venue. I'm not looking forwatd to going back home for the summer!
when venues are crowded or there are lots of new beginners in the class there will tend to be more injuries as people get to grips with the amount of space they can take up as well as where arms and legs go.
I have often bumped/stepped on/hit random people dancing near me, i always apologise and get back to dancing, its just one of those things that happen when you get a lot of people together.
One thing i can not abide though is people wearing stilleto heals to dancing especially when they first start and your feet arent always obeying you. I have been spiked, gouged and allsorts by stilletos and its not nice
That was the problem last night with the elbow in the head in the class. Beginners are too busy concentrating on the move to be as aware of the people around them. In the final 'twice through and into freestyle I took my partner out of the line a bit, to give us more room so she wouldn't be bumped.
But its not exclusive to beginners - I've been bumped into more by intermediates at freestyles trying to do big, travelling moves, than beginners.
Here's a question. . .
As a franchise manager - although a stretch of water away - do you get your teacher to suggest ettiquete at the end of the lessons?
I've only been to one venue in the UK where this was done. Brockham near Dorking when it was Steve Nash teaching (oooh so long ago it hurts).
They also had flyers out on the desk commenting on the stuff we take for granted - spare shirts, deodorant, towels etc.
Just wondered?. . .
i have been told of a friend wearing dance shoes who was dancing, got spiked and when the person stepped away she did so without her shoe which was embedded in the dance shoe, the stilleto had pierced the leather and had landed between the persons big and 2nd toe. Lucky escape!
