Not sure the title really sums it up but I noticed an interesting (to me) thing last night. One of the more experienced dancers at the venue is a man my partner does not enjoy dancing with. Indeed she says the experience can be quite scary. I had chance whilst sitting out last night to watch him in action and it was strange that though he was technically very very good (to my eyes anyway) - lots of complex variations - he seemed to view it more as an intellectual exercise than a partner dance. His partner for that dance - who is a very skilled dancer - looked rather nervous as she was sent here and there at tremendous speed. I am not sure what the point of the post is other than it taught me that the ability to do lots of complex moves at a very high speed is not necessarily the ultimate to aim for. It's not necessarily what the ladies aim for either. Is this kind of aptitude what I have seen described elsewhere as a move monster? Or is that a term applied to somebody who is over-reaching themselves and pulling out lots of moves that they simply cannot do correctly (which was not the case here). Do you have someone like this at your venue?
