Actually, a few people take quite badly to being "corrected"..... Although I think you're right that most people appreciate being told they're doing something wrong, so they can correct it and become better dancers!
In most cases if a man is clearly leading a move wrong, I do try to say "maybe you should try xxxxx. That'll make the lead much clearer and easier to follow." It's just when the guy really thinks he's fab, and
really patronizes you that I do my "grin-and-bear-it" act. It's all to do with the guy's attitude and the way he treats his dance partner.... And very often, if a man leads something I can't follow, I do say something like "Ooops, I have no clue what to do! Sorry! Could you show me that move again?" I make mistakes like everyone else, and do appreciate it if a guy takes time to do the move again, to show me what I'm doing wrong.
I think most people who have posted on this thread so far are describing general situations/behaviour rather than bitching about someone specific... I know I did....
Hmmmm, maybe we need another poll? "Do you fake it on the dance floor"? ESG - this seems to be your area of speciality....
