I have had to do this a few times, normally with the same guys and as you say, these are not the beginners, these are people who have been around for years, but just don't seem to take heed, even when you do politely inform them that they are wrenching your arm out of it's socket. One dance with an arm wrencher can spoil your whole evening, as the pain doesn't go until you rest it.Originally posted by Jive Brummie
But, I s'pose what I'm after really is for people to say, that yes, it's ok to turn a lady down for a dance if you know it's going to be painful or plainly un-enjoyable??
James,
it is ok for you to turn a lady down for a dance if you know it's going to be painful or plainly un-enjoyable. [or a man for that matter ] You are there to enjoy, not suffer.
If you refuse politely, they have no come back and any decent person will take on board what you say. If they don't, it's their loss.
If you feel too embarrassed to deal with the person, then do as Franck said and let the teacher deal with it.
Failing that, take her outside and give her a good beating,
... or you could always set the missus on her.
