    I believe I can watch a dancer and judge how someone will "feel". Having danced and taught, observed for many years.

    I go for feeling good above looking good.

    Looking good is for champs - feeling good is for "dancing"

    I rember this feeling so well,

    Which has generated my personal ambition in dance (I think we all have one) mine is to be able to have a fab dance with any man at any level, if his level is below mine, bring him on a bit, without scaring him to death, and making him feel good about the dance, I would hate it if I thought someone had left the floor thinking ... 'I'm a crap dancer, not up to her leavel'

    Most definitely agree, I have had some very uncomfortable dances with such 'strict' lead that I have felt unable to 'reciprocate' in the dance making it very much a one-way street.
    gosh did you dance with that dreadful guy from stockport/manchester ? he
    apparently has his own venue his party peace is throwing you upside down and using you like a tube of shake-n-vac it might work to faster music but to slow blues : AR$E

    Tango

    Waistcoat and a hat it wasn't that bloke from Stockport was it

    was the waistcoat sparkly think that might have been Ian, he's in the brochure, or Simon Borland, he's in it to, if you still have it

    Shoot me now, if you please, but was poor old me the only one who felt that sliding the hand down the followers breast was a bit of an over-kill?
    I think in this intstance the look-good definitely went head over heels over the feel-good factor. Can't imagine the lady feeling comfortable with that - even in the AT setting.
    Unless, of course, they are a couple off the dance floor, as well...

    It was the "good feel" factor

    I don't think Ian wore a hat - I didn't see him in one at least - or a waiscoat come to that?

    Simon's a big waistcoat fan ( ), but I can't see him doing a Tango - or wearing a hat, really.

    Hmmm, the plot thickens... - it wasn't Toby was it?

    Addendum
    Just reading the above before posting, and it looks like the primary reason I'm offering for your dance not being good was because you were not technically as proficient as your lead and they were trying moves that you found difficult to follow. This is neither my feeling nor intention. I'm just suggesting that that may have been a contributing factor, on top all the other stuff that's already been posted on this thread:
    • maybe their lead wasn't very good / you weren't sure what they were leading
    • maybe their timing wasn't good - not dancing on the beat making it difficult to follow
    • maybe everybody was dancing on the beat, but interpreting the music differently so it just didn't gel
    • maybe they'd had a bad day at work / was still thinking about something that'd just been said to them during the last dance or for whatever reason wasn't fully focussed on that particular dance with you, detracting from its quality
    - Apologies for the the glaringly obvious omission from the above list:
    • maybe he was a complete selfish ar$e and didn't care whether his partner (you!) had an enjoyable dance or not {apparently there are people like that out there - don't stumble across them too often, hence wasn't at forefront of my mind for inclusion on the original list.


    I really hope it wasn't, but if that was the case, then suggest you:
    • try not to take it personally - 99.999% sure he'll be like that with many follows, not just you
    • don't ask him to dance again - his loss!


    In the meantime, keep the faith.
