    Dancing pet hates!

    Worst one for me is the automatic back-leading of an armjive by the follower to start a freestyle dance...

    Also, when my hand magically moves from side to side on it's own accord in lesson when about to do the move to a count...

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

    What are your pet hates?

    Re: Dancing pet hates!

    1. My partner who insists that I have to dance in time with her mate (next to us, in the lesson that is), even though said friend is dancing out of time (whether her fault or her partner).

    2. Couples who move across the dancefloor during freestyle, going right through everyone else.

    3. Stiff arms and tight hand holds. Luckily these are generally beginners and can usually be corrected.

    Angry Re: Dancing pet hates!

    Dance floor hogs who flap, kick, spin and drop in all directions so that everyone else on the dance floor has to give them a wide berth for fear of getting kicked in the head or a stiletto in the foot. This usually results in said hogs getting a quarter of the dance floor to themselves.

    Being aware (almost at the last moment) that if I complete a move some unfortunate follow - not my partner - is going to get a kick in the head due to some numpty putting her into a drop on a busy floor.

    Follows who don't (if I were a follow, no doubt I would say the same about leads).

    Arrhythmia.

    Ignorance of floorcraft and dance space.

    But people often aren't distributed evenly across a dancefloor and sometimes the biggest gap is in the middle. How else should one get there...?

    I guess one could be lifted into the middle of the dancefloor using some arrangement of lifting wires and harness. But clearly that would be ludicrous...
    Love dance, will travel
