I agree with Fasc. The only men who acknowledge/ask my husband for a dance with me at a social are good friends with both of us, and do so in a...
I think it's dependent on the individual because otherwise you'd never have conflicting opinions such as these. ;) As a follower, I am in a...
I think I'd just tell him exactly that: please scale back the flirting when we're in a lesson and/or in front of others. If you want to flirt...
This type of question makes me a little nervous. Although there are members on this board who can certainly explain the lead/follow's shaping,...
Strawberry, think about rolling your shoulders back into the joint/socket. It takes a certain amount of effort to maintain the posture, but it...
I totally understand where you're coming from - it's why I dance pro-am right now. I had offers of partnership before my daughter came into the...

Snort! Oh my, that brings a tear to my eye...:notworth: Since IndyLady was asking about the differences, IMO it's a little easier to dance Am...
At Danceronice: totally hear you. There were some events I placed first and last in depending on the judge! But I think it was Latingirl who pointed...
Thank you for all of your great responses! I think you've told me what I needed to hear: chin up, and remember why you *really* do this. I have...
In a recent competition, I thought that I danced reasonably well yet was annihilated by my judging panels. Totally devastated. Both my teacher and my...
I always like the arrogant "I'm the best and I know it walk" that you see competitors do as they walk out onto the floor. It's a heel-lead walk/strut...
