    3. Happy to follow everything I lead. Especially bounces.
    4. Able to follow everything I lead. Especially hip motion.
    5. Making everything look good. Especially me.

    Worst qualities:
    1. Can't follow.
    2. Won't follow.
    3. Unreadable.
    4. Spikes.
    5. High standards.


    It is not about you at all is it?

Unless, of course, I knew the partner well or had asked for advice about something.

    Mmm, I don't think I'd generally make a comment even in a class, unless asked. You don't get time, really - you're moved on so rapidly.

    I wern't thinkin about either of you - but from the looks of it I'm not getting very many dances: I tend to leak a bit and am sometimes rather "soggy" to dance with.

    Soggy - you Gadget? Never!!

    If I remember you changed your shirt at least 3 times per night when you were at Beach Ballroom.. So even if you feel like you are soggy, you come across as more considerate than others!


    As for not many dances - I don't think I have seen you OFF the floor at all!

    So - Don't do yourself down!
