Recognise anyone from this list? |
At a relatively new venue where I know the "intermediate" is deliberately set at beginner level, if the dancer really is good enough, them joining in can be better that sitting isolated.
I would never take someone out of line, but I do not blame the hunters for hunting. There are some guys that just come in order to meet gals, and vice versa
The instructor is one to many, the class is one to one. An individual word, in moderation, can make a real difference. It would be awful for someone to finish a class with the thought that no-one will talk to them, no-one will help them.
