    Well, having posted that a couple of days ago I now find that my (self-perceived) improvement at this move has all but disappeared and attempts at performing it during Weds and Thurs nights dancing saw me all but fall over trying it. The curse of the forum has struck, it appears

    God night at Bedford last night though. Always a bonus when you turn up and find Marc F is the (stand-in) teacher and not just because it means Rachel is likely to be in attendance too

    Does anyone fancy enlightening me as to what these moves consist of?

    Re: Handedness

    I'm a left handed female, and although I love dancing with my right hand being led, I have less grip and feeling in my right hand.

    I am therefore a willing victim for anyone in Glasgow that wants to practice L - L or even R - L (ladies left) - (if these exist??) moves.

    Franck I think did a R - L (ladies left) side to side with me last night. and I didn't have to think about it at all, it was so easy and natural. My left is more responsive to a smaller lead than my right, so I was probably a little easier to lead on those moves too ...

    Re: Handedness

    Anyone not answered this yet? Right-handers please answer (have to encourage them to avoid response bias, you see, as lefties are naturally inclined to respond in such polls: the current poll ratio is way out of kilter with the general population's 1 in 7 ratio)

    Seeing as how this is a forum about dancing, I think the question of handedness is actually more interesting than age or ethnicity

    In lieu of a marmite poll or "which smurf are you", probably THE most interesting

    Is that because lefties are more anal?

    Well, it's either that or go round making right t*ts of ourselves all the time.

    Ah - then I must regrettably concede that this is merely the second most interesting poll on the Forum after this one. And even then, this one may be in the hunt for second...

    I am ambi - can use both hands.

    Not really got a favorite - In baseball, catch with the left, throw with the right, in general ball games, catch with whatever hand is closest, throw with either hand. Writing, mostly right hand, but can also use left. On computer, mouse can be on left or right. Dancing, do not mind which hand I use, which helps with triples.

    I've been doing mirrored moves for a bit and can now lead the basics as fluidly as a follower can not resort to reverting back to normal. So not leading well enough yet!
