Guys,
previously mentioned an incident a few yaers ago that led to the involvement of legal parties against a Modern Jive instructor.
Managed to find out last weekend the outcome. The version of events I got (and I alwys realise that there are two sides) is that the injured party was told that she would un doubtedly win the prosecution, however, as the teacher wa being fully backed by hois dance organistion, the costs may not cover the legal expenses ..... so the case did not go to court. Pity, I hate to see the big guys win because they've got more muscle rather than they are right.
HOWEVER, the moral of the story guys is that you injure someone though throwing them into a dumb drop .... you could end up on the wrong side of a courtroom ... think about that the next time you feel the need to show off!
Oh ... by the way .... its not alwys the guys fault .... last Thursday I was dancing with (a very good) female dancer and just rested my hand on her nearest shoulder as I'd totaly blanked ... the next thing she's trying to drop on me!!!
She'd mistaken my 'lead' for the signal for a Robbie Dip (must admit I didn't know that move was widely known) ... but the signal for that is very different. Goes back to the key point of a drop ... ladies , if you ain't supported, you DON'T go down ... please
