yes, it is about commen sense. However I disagree with you BB.Originally posted by Basil Brush
DO YOU TRULY THINK THE PEOPLE WE'RE REFERRING TO WOULD LISTEN/ADHERE?
DON'T YOU THINK IT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT CAN'T BE TAUGHT- IT IS MORE ABOUT COMMON SENSE RATHER THAN A LEARNED AWARENESS OF BODY SPACE?
I teach people to use a work shop ( not dance but tools)- without going into it there are loads of saftey eliments involved in my work, many of which are commen sense. However due to human nature I still have to remind students of saftey issues and I have no probelm in doing so if that is what it takes to prevent problem.
I having been a taxi dancer I am very aware that in many, many cases new dancers are too busy just concentrating on the the moves to even think about the saftey issues, unfortunatley this habit stays with some people and they never develop an awarness of their body sense - even as an intermeadiate dancer, unless it is pointed out to them. There are simpy to many example of this happening each night in every venue for it to be enough to rely on "commen sense".
What harm could there be in reminding people of obvious issues regulary in a class situation which offendeds/names no particular individual if it can save people from getting hurt or anoyed with other dancers lack of knowledge/ettiquite/commen sense.?
