My favourite partner is my wife (and I'm not just saying that to stop her beating me up).
I also like dancing with some of the really good ladies out there - eg Rena, Heather, Karmel, Sing Lim, Janie Cronin. (I've never danced with Lydia or Nina.) But I don't want to dance with the best dancers all night. You get very lazy - they look good no matter what you do. You don't have to lead well, because they are so good at improvising. And I don't want to ruin their night.

But I really like dancing with ladies that are just going from beginners to intermediate. They know enough to keep in time, and to follow a lead, but aren't desperately trying to recognise each move and remember what they are 'supposed' to do. It means that I have to do everything to the best of my abilities.

There is only one person who's opinion really counts in dancing - your partner. You can have the most abysmal style, but if he/she enjoys dancing with you - who cares?
