I used to think that women were less likely to go out when it's raining?
I took a male friend to ceroc.
He only went once, because a woman was rude to him in class because he didn't know what to do, and it upset him.
I told him that she is a "bit odd" , but he's never been a second time, and that was 2 years ago.
I was so annoyed as he has a car.
Hmmm, he did say he doesn't like leading - he likes the sort of dancing they do in night clubs.
And I think he's been to 5 Rhythmns a few times, but that's not partner dancing is it? I have promised to go, but have not done so yet.
A woman friend I took to ceroc only went once because she doesn't like being led - and he doesn't like leading. I have some strange friends.
we seem to accept, indeed welcome Female leading, but frown upon Men standing in as Followers in a regular class, for fear that it might chase away some of our male peers who are usually in short supply.Originally Posted by CheesyRobMan;
Certainly of the few men I have polled on whether I could line up as a Follower none have said other than "I don't think so".
But, I have now followed on three occasions with men who have asked me.
I really do need lessons in following.
Slightly more with the program now - I thought you meant generally instead of specifically in a class. Feel free to ignore my previous post
There are 2 solutions.
1. a change of ethos towards gender bias in class
2. They could swap clothes with each other before the class - but that's a bit of a drag.
Often we have more men than ladies, (especially on footy nights)
I was thinking when coming to Aussie, there would not be so many men [the sort of Crocadile dundee, I am too hard and manly to dance thing].
I tell everyone I dance, and in the last few years have never had the "you must be gay then" look.
But hey, you can tell a northerner, but you can't tell him much
