Beginners can use the skill, talent and wisdom, support and encouragement of taxis till that time so it seems like a good cut off point to me....and many go home in tears at that point anyway having spent an evening with me...

It depended on how "decent" you meant too.. but I decided not to go there.... same thing with "decent" music.... I can have a great time with some dancers to that yamaha piano thing Gadget was suggesting - in fact with some people we'd get along just fine with no music at all I expect

As a broad approximation then, yes, the following is going by his interpretation, no? |
The music sets the pace the pauses etc IMHO
and I follow the music without any arguments whatsoever !!!!! When a lead fills in ALL the breaks and NEVER notices that I want to play too, then I don't feel like I'm partner dancing at all... I feel like an extension of his over-developed ego !!!!!!!! And many dancers dance the same way to every single track.... so I don't see how they can think they are interpreting the music at all..
This conversation doesn't really fit the thread I fear... is that cos I took the lead and it's all fallen apart ????
And since you guys are hitting it off so well, I'd love to watch you dance together.. taking the lead in turns.... and then seeing what you both think...
