I do not like being critiscised unless it is not in a patronising way or its dealt with maturely....for example, DTS and I were dancing in stevenage a few weeks ago and he dropped me...usually i would come back up again but this time DTS told me to stiffen myself because it was easier..i took his advice and now he has no problem dipping me
however the next time i went ot stevenage i'm sorry to say DTS wasn't there, but i done the beginner and intermeidates class...so after rotating round for around fifteen minutes...i am partnered with a french man, some of the stevenage crowd might know him...tall, (large built), heavy french accent....he seemed ok but then i recognized him from the saturday freestyle at stevenage, i had been wearing my black cookie monster face printed top (same one as twirlie bird!) and this french guy yelled at me that it should be blue! He may have meant it as a joke but it came out like he was bellowing at me...anyway so we done the routine, halfway through he stopped and told me my posture was wrong. I have never been corrected for my posture before so it came as quite a shock, he said my grip was not firm enough and that he had been dancing for ten years now and how he was an expert...so we done the routine but he got bored and put some intermediate moves in. I was fine with this, but throughout the whole dance he yelled and cursed at me.
I think he honestly should be banned, he scares me, he's rude to everyone he meets and he's got a pompous, snobby attitude...
my friend leanne also finds him very unpleasant and nearly did report him because he flung her round the dance floor like a ragdoll...
like i said, i don't mind being critiscised...but certainly not in the way i was treated by the french guy at stevenage!
