I agree. It's very easy to cause offence and probably a bit unfair to judge someone after one dance at a freestyle. It might be a little different if you're dancing with someone very inexperienced or much less experienced and your comments are quite clearly going to be seen as friendly and supportive.Originally Posted by Minnie M
I think this links in with Sheena's complaint. I don't always object to being talked through a lead if it really helps either him or me to get the move, but if it seriously interrupts the flow of the dance I think that my partner should check with me that I'm happy on that occasion to spend the time doing some practice. And I certainly wouldn't be if that was my fave track. But I probably would be during the next one, especially if it was a c**p one that wasn't much use for proper dancing.Another gripe of mine, is a lead talking a move through to you before doing it - my philosophy is "If it ain't leadable - Don't lead it" - once again this refers to freestyle dancing, not during a class.
