Fantastic! And I'm really impressed that she's making the practice time part of the class and covering etiquette stuff as well. We don't do the "men always ask" bit here and I'm not a fan of it - but it is traditional I guess.
It sounds as if you did really well - if you can close your eyes and just follow on your first night, no matter how good the lead, then you're pretty amazing!
After dancing like a penguin last Sunday I decided to do the beginner & improver classes in Exeter on Tuesday. I was surprised how difficult it was to lead ladies in their 3rd or 4th week, and how tense I got. Ruth came over and told me to relax and lead from my centre - which was great because it gave me something to concentrate on in my own movement and stopped me focussing so much on adjusting for my partner. I really enjoyed the evening and got a lot out of it so I'll go again this Tuesday.
Keep us posted on how it goes next week. I bet that before the end of February you'll be crying out for a mid-week practica so you can get an additional AT "fix" each week! |
