It's always good to learn from other people's mistakes - it's far less traumatic! So, let's hear the terrible advice (try to keep it dance related if you can) you have been given. No names, no pack drill please. Just the advice. I will start the ball rolling with:
Stamping your foot gives your dancing added style
"stop putting your own style into the dance"
I was told at a fairly early stage:Originally Posted by StokeBloke

"you're really getting the hang of it, now you just need to add a bit of bounce to make it really good"

Don't you just hate it when the numpty's do that?
Real cool guy's...us girls find it so sexy when you start stamping your feet.
Whatever the man offers you...take it with your right hand.
"You're doing too many steps." (when I was starting to try out improvisation)
"You have no sense of rhythm." from a friend who didn't understand about clapping on the off-beat.
"This is where you ..."
Lead it then
EDIT: Oh, and "Footwork doesn't matter".
It does.
Anyone want the can-opener?
1. hold on to my hand properly.!!
2. spin on one foot, its easier.
3. i do a skip inbetween each move. I will teach you if you would like.
I cringe when i think of some of the things i have been told in the early days.
If you cant lead a move properly...dont do it...! I do not want verbal instructions.
'Make sure you keep moving by dancing one move after another'.
Advice given to me when I was pausing on breaks in the music. Musicality BAD!
Step back on your right.
Don't wave your arm around like that, it makes people look at us.
"Stop doing your own thing. You are supposed to be following my lead".
'You're supposed to bounce on the beat to keep in time. Why are fighting me?'
Get your arm up or I will tear it orf an' it ya' round the 'ead wiv the soggy end!
Drill Sergent Circa 1975 OK I know its not strictly relevent but it made me very fond of my limbs!!
If we are getting in to non-dancing terrible advice, how about this one from my sister.
"You might as well marry him, you already have kids together".
My divorce came through last month.

good advice, wrong people.
What happens if someone isn't picking up a signal though?
change the signal. A shove normally helps
I'm worried we're still going with the 'bad advice' theme hereA shove normally helps
