    Hey! :reallymad: I dance with beginners at every opportunity and some of the moves I lead them through are classed as 'intermediate'; a different ending, or joining of two beginner moves and you have an intermediate move.
    As long as you can lead the moves so that the lady is not confused, or give wrong signals and force the lady into a move, I don't see any reason not to.
    If a beginner lady does not do what they 'should' (ie what I expect them to do) on a move, then I have probably messed up the lead and will try to work out how I could lead it better - most often it's because I have grown lazy with my lead and need to sharpen it up a bit.

    Dips, leans, breaks and signaled moves I would consider closer to 'advanced' than 'intermediate', and would never try to lead a beginner through. (...and seldom lead anyone else through them because I can't remember them! :sorry)

    Well, I guess that DD wasn't talking about you then Gadget.

    You know. If the cap fits, and all that.

    I think I can guess at least one of the people that DD is talking about though!!

    Yes !!! and I can think of several, one of whom was a taxi dancer. I was so :reallymad to the extent that it stopped me from going to ceroc for about 5 months and it was only at the persistant persuasion of my friend, that I returned. Fortunately, this creep is now an ex- taxi dancer.

    Just a lucky shot in the dark I think

    I haven't been taken advantage of in Edinburgh yet, but I am open to offers

    This goes for all other Scottish cities too.... And English ones. And anywhere else really....

    Sorry Gadget ..I should have been more specific, as I do most of my Cerocing in Edinburgh::sorry ...But I think TT is probably thinking along the same lines as me...I think that dancing with beginners , then trying to impress the pants off them ( both literally and metaphorically )by doing moves, inclding dips and drops, when they are not experienced enough, is both reckless and stupid. I've seen this guy drop his partner on more than one osccasion. Fortunately as TT says he is now an ex Taxi dancer
