There was this bloke on the dance floor and every single dance he had, he stopped mid dance to give
instruction to his follower on how to do some fancy foot work. Actually it wasn't that fancy at all and I would say very easy to lead...or guide.
I asked someone who he was and I was told he taught MJ for 20 years.
Anyway...me being me I asked him to dance hoping he'd do the same to me.
Sure enough, he stopped mid dance and started to try and talk me through a cross over type step. The conversation went like this...
DT "DON'T instruct me, lead me"
Numpty "But I don't know how to lead this move"
DT "Don't do it then...if you can't lead this move, do ones that you can lead"
The look on his face. I swear it took him a good 20 seconds to comprehend what I had just said to him. Obviously no one has ever actually pulled him up on such poor dancing technique's before.
We spent the remainder of the dance doing simple moves with no eye contact. I watched him during the rest of the evening and he still continued to
talk through half of the steps he was doing.
What irritates me is that some, or maybe even most followers would see him as an experienced dancer and think that what he does is the norm.
Tw@t.
