The guy's a beginner, he didn't understand something the teacher said, and you want to report him? What for, exactly? You think he has some kind of neck fetish? I understand that the neck is one of the major erogenous zones, after all. Tabloids are always printing pictures of women in strappy tops and writing "Phwoar! Look at those jug-ulars!".
What's wrong with talking to the guy and saying "Actually, I've been dancing for X months/years/lives, and I happen to know that my hand should be placed on your shoulder, not your neck"? Saying nothing when your beginner partner is labouring under that kind of misapprehension is not remotely helpful, to him, or anyone else in the class. If you're not a beginner, and you're not helping beginners, I don't see what purpose you serve in a beginner class.

In that particular instance it wasn't a more advanced dancer he was dancing with - it was a friend of mine who had just started that week, who was getting upset at being told by this bloke (who had been doing Ceroc for a whole 3 weeks) that it was obviously her fault the move was going wrong.Originally Posted by MartinHarper
Sorry for being pedantic - just didn't want Donna getting mis-quoted on my account

Well if we're having a rant then may I say.............AAAARRRGGHHH!!! There, I feel better already. I'm having a moan not about a beginner but a bighead - that I have been unfortunate enough to encounter on many occasions and did again last night. I never like to criticise people when dancing but last night I was soooooo cross. There is this guy who throws ladies about without a a second thought, often in the path of other people and with no concern for them. Safety is clearly not a concern of his! I am quite a trusting dancer and up for most 'things' but I do object to some hotshot who thinks he can do every move under the sun throwing me around like a ragdoll and not even executing the moves properly or safely - so last night I rebelled and did not go where he attempted to throw me He told me off and said he was leading! I then watched him dance with a beginner - he was enough to put her off for life. He shouted various moves at her, e.g. double spin hook - not many beginners can do a double spin without support. He flung her round with all his might - she lost balance - recovered - only to be thrown to the ground in what looked like a wrestling hold. She looked so bewildered. I noticed he carried on like this all night. I don't ever want to dance with him again but hate saying 'no' as it's against ceroc etiquette......think I may have to make an exception this time though! Also he dances with his tongue permanently sticking out which is just rude.......it is, my mum said so!
LW, where was this at? Pboro?
No -this was at West Bridgford but often encountered at MG and Rainworth.
Let me know who he is next time you see me and I will have a quiet word. I dont like that sort of activity. It isn't the norm for those venues.We gentlemen who know how to treat a partner need to help those who think they can dance to see the light.Originally Posted by littlewiggle

I suppose I could cross this thread with the body piercings thread... and get a pair of press studs installed?
