I once called the Harkness Center to get a referral to a doctor in my area who had trained there. He actually didn't have any advice different from...
I've always been told that it's my job to get my feet out of the leader's way. It's possible that you are taking bigger steps than she can handle,...
The teacher should look at the contract he signed for the details. But would that solve the problem? If the owner is pissed about the whole...
This. I'm not nearly as comfortable travelling forward as I am backward--in any position, including shadow, so it's not just about stepping...
I find I have a mental issue on many steps where I have to step strongly into my partner. I just don't like doing that. Don't know the...

I guess maybe that's why I make noises! I get the first impulse out by making a noise, usually a vowel sound, so that I can speak my second...

My biggest peeve is those dances that can be described as "a simulated sex act occasionally interrupted by a dance step."
A good "busy mind" antidote for me is listening to guided imagery CDs. There are ones specifically for insomnia.
FTFY Leaders know what they tried to lead. They don't always know what they actually led. Or they don't know that they did something that...
