About time too, Clive!
I went out last night too. But I didn't have such a good time. One shouldn't dance with PMT!
I'd ended up with a taxi dancer during the beginners class. He's a nice enough chap - not the brightest, but means well. (For example, in a previous class I'd noticed a couple next to him who were struggling - it was two brand new beginner ladies dancing together - no one had told them about the rotation & he hadn't spotted them. As soon as I'd mentioned it, though, he'd helped them out ).
He has a very forceful lead, which is probably very useful for moving beginner ladies around, but is much too heavy for my tastes. So I did what I normally do when a man is yanking me around. I relaxed my frame to protect my poor old shoulders & back. Then the poor unsuspecting taxi told me I didn't have enough resistance in my arms...
Did he get a mouthful! I pulled rank. I pointed out how long I've been dancing! That I've taught! That the fault was in his lead and that I was merely trying to avoid injury from his bad habits! The poor lad was quivering for the rest of the evening!
So, if you're reading this... sorry!
