Heather I'm with you. I haven't long moved up to the intermediate class but I absolutely love the beginners class, it is so much fun when you know the steps and when you can help out an absolute beginner, having the boot on the other foot so to speak.Originally posted by Heather
Why is it, that when some people reach a certain level of competency in Ceroc, they no longer feel that they should take part in the beginners class? Beginners need experienced dancers to help show them how to do the moves, otherwise it's like the blind leading the blind. Unfortunately, some people think that they are too good to dance with beginners or less experienced dancers and refuse to take part in the classes, preferring instead to sit at the side and try to conceal their boredom!!
Also as it is not so long since I was a beginner I can remember the terror of learning new steps and trying not to look stupid - still manage that mind you! But I think everyone should make everyone else feel at ease and that they are not alone in their mistakes. Dancing is so much fun and it's for everyone to enjoy, plus we want to keep new recruits, not scare them off.
My pet hate is when it is time to move on and just for a second your partner has "that" look - 'Christ not her'! I'm maybe being paranoid but it really does shatter your confidence.
Another little pet hate is when the good dancers only want to dance the good dancers. To be fair I understand wanting to dance with someone who is easy to "gel" with and not a clumsy oaf but come on guys we need the experience!
