Thanks for all the information, everyone, I'm feeling slightly more cheerful now.

Something like that, yes

It's amazing how I always fall for this when I start to learn a new dance - the "they've been dancing for ages, they must know what they're talking about, and therefore I must be an idiot for assuming something different." syndrome.

Does anyone else get this, or is it just me?

I should have realised, when she took me through the 8 step - I was trying to lead the cross - which, BTW, is pretty darned tricky - and she was just doing it whether I led it or not...
