What is it with guys dancing meringue (or pretty much any kind of partner dance for that matter ) with their wallet, keys, mobile and in some cases I'm sure the kitchen sink all stuffed in their front right pocket ?
Drove me properly mad last night
So, anyway, if any of them happen to read this, I'll start the ball rolling with a few ideas...
1. your LEFT pocket
2. Any of your back / jacket pockets while we're at it
3. Girlfriend's handbag
4. Boyfriend's handbag
5. Leave the kitchen sink at home for Christ sake
6. Under your hat
7. Under anybody's hat
Having a French day are we?
My pockets are empty...So any noticeable bulges are a compliment to my dance partner.

Not nearly as horrible as leaving the keys, wallets, mobile phones etc in a jacket or bag and finding some light fingered tea leaf has half inched them !
I personally keep my Keys, Wallet and Phone with me at all times. If it bothers the follower they don't have to accept my dance request.
Surely the left pocket is just as bad as the right?
I left coins in my pocket last night (rare occasion) and managed to let them scatter accross the floor during a move where I slide on my backside accross the floor. Well I've learnt from my mistake.
Yes,
don't slide on your backside. Difficult getting the skid marks out.
Been keeping my right pocket clear for so long, forgotten why I started doing it...
Thinking about it, it was for the reasons Caro mentioned.
It does not take much to keep your right leg clear of clutter, should your partner want to make use of your right leg
Two words.... man bag
Err, no?
I dunno how you dance, but most of us dance with our followers slightly offset and to the right of us. So our right leg fits between their legs, and for closer dancing the right pocket is therefore best left empty, or at least used for things like handkerchiefs.
Am I the only one to find this, well, kind of obvious?
looks like it
And for the record, I am NOT talking about any cases of frotting here. It just so happens that in some dances, like meringue, batchata, blues, ballroom etc and to some extend salsa, wcs or even some moves in MJ (I have fond memories of a side-to-engrave-my-car-keys-into-your-side, for example ) the guy's right hip / upper thigh becomes a point of connection. So it's not only plain uncomfortable, it is also hindering the dance.
Yesterday some guys felt like they had a weekend worth of lugagge in their pocket.
