Now that's an interesting point. The class is taught (roughly) "step in, turn the lady and (both?) step back". I only realised on Tuesday that this step back should be LED and the guy shoud push when he does that painting thing ....( a bit like the semi circle) so I guess I step(ped) back cos I SHOULD...

Am really guilty of that.. arm is too straight... I know I know ...
We don't really get that far away though do we?? And could it be argued that if your lead was better these things wouldn't happen ? Or are some ladies "uncontrollable" ? I haven't really come across these things so maybe I'm a better lead than I thought

.. and I mean when I'm meant to be ! Honest !!!
