I think there is a huge difference between lifys and drops ... though they both have the potential for disaster!

I've lost count of the number of people I've had to stop doing arials on the social dancefloor ..... I'm evene more amazed at their complete disregard for other dancers and the fact that half the time tyhey've not been taught the move properly. If the true experts at arials (i.e. Andy and Rena and Simon and Martialne) say you souldn't do them on a social dancefloor then thats good enough for me.

As for drops, they should only be dome with the ladies consent and the 'dropper' should know the drop well and be sure that the lady is unlikely to do something that will complicate things, like throwing her head back! Again ... seen loads of accidents ... most of them orignating from morons who have attended classes at a local cowboy in Stockport! Should carry a health warning.
