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? |
And I'd bet money on it that he had an aloof look on his face, and didn't give her any eye contact at all!
I don't like dancing with people like this, there's no connection either with your partner or with the music, which to me is the joy of dancing.
Bigd - although you do sometimes do complex moves very fast, the difference is it's in context with the music (which is also often very fast when you do this) and you do give the lady eye contact and smile!
