    How rude can it get out there ?

    Moved by this quote I was thinking what was the rudeness person iv ever danced with

In this instance, Lynn, you're absolutely correct - it wasn't the absence of a smile, but the presence of an attitude (and a mighty big one) that was the problem. The woman looked disgusted to be dancing with me, and that was absolutely without question. Visibly sighing and rolling eyes is, in my book, a sign of active rudeness. Telling her it was 'alright to smile' wasn't said sarcastically, it was said playfully (as much to relieve my own embarassment as much as anything else).
    I was stopped halfway through a dance once and told ‘do you mind if we stop this , I need to go to the loo’

    My response ok **** off then (I didn’t but felt like saying that)

    The best was when a girl said to me ‘why do you look like you have just come out of a funeral’

    I replied my mother died the day before

    It shut her up at the end of the dance I said I’m only joking, I don’t think we have danced since

    Any other stories to tell ?

    One person looked at their watch during a step back at SP. Though their may have been a valid reason...

    The height of rudeness;- The one partner who never looked at me during our dance, not even once.
    I was left feeling she wanted to be somewhere else.

    I accept I do the opposite and hardly take my eye off my partner and for some this is uncomfortable, but I'm trying to moderate that.

    Did they use a semi-circular arm movement to do this? Might just have been a stylistic thing...

    The watch was on the spare left hand. It wasn't style.

    I find as I turn the girl, I can usually look at my watch without getting caught

    It’s the 'Yawning' I sometimes find harder to hide, try to make it into a cough

    Wiping my sweat on to a ladies dress is again an art I’ve not conquered, im not sure if thats rude or just practicle

    I was asked by one woman once (who was a terrible dancer) if I would rather just dance with a chair!

    I waited till I next saw her walked over and offered my had as if to ask for a dance. She stood up to accept and I took her chair away to the side of the dance floor where I had a brilliant dance with it.

    After the track had finished I took her chair back and told her the chair could teach her a thing or two.

    She has never asked me to dance again but did attend one of my workshops.

    Re: How rude can it get out there ?

    I fell asleep on a woman a couple of years ago.

    Twas in the blues room at Camber, about 4 in the morning and i was dancing up close with my head on her shoulder.

    All i remember was her shaking me and telling me that i was snoring.

    I was very relaxed.

    As recounted in my blog of April 2007 (weekender - Prestatyn):

    Ceroc Mad Jive Lad: April 2007

    --------Workshop:

    It started ok - but went downhill a bit. This was partly me - and partly the fact that as it was men on I moved down the line and it gradually kept getting tighter and more squashed till at the back end there was no space at all! Then, to cap it all, the lady right at the end of the line started using her mobile while we were doing a move with the class - so we had to break off: very annoying. Then she did it again - and I made my apologies and left her to it............Cerocus Interruptus.
