    I think you're getting my point! But where I went to school, it was all about breaking the rules

    Ahh, now I understand why they kept going on about how special we all were! (I kid you not, and I seem to remember it being quoted in percentage terms!)

    such a subtle way of letting him know

    No Rhythm/dances out of time I try not too...but I think i'm still guilty of it sometimes
    Technically incorrect
    Noticed you wrote 'fat' Lory, i'm sure that's not true! I'm a bit on the heavy side but don't think it makes too much of a difference (I hope not anyway! lol)

    Early on in my dance career there was a lady "built like a Godess" who had a personality that I hated. She had a wiggle to die for. I found that I could not dance with her. I kept making hesitating, making mistakes, and going off-beat. I watched her dancing with other leads, guys and girls, and they had no problems, so I knew it was me. Eventually I noticed that the wiggle factor was not there for other leads. I worked out that she was using the wiggle as a fill-in whilst I tried to get my act together.

    One night I was walking home from a jam session when the revalation hit me. It was a case of Pavlov's dog. If every time I made a mistake I was rewarded by a wiggle, I was subconciously reacting by making more mistakes. Personality clash there might have been, but there was also a sexual chemistry thing going on as well.
