| Spinning around...
Maybe this should belong in a special section for Taxi dancers, but I'm sure other gents would benefit, so I'm putting it here. Maybe the ladies can give us some extra guidance as well!
Anyway, the question is: how can you show a woman how to spin properly? The most common difficulty female newcomers have seems to be in spinning on the spot. I know teaching isn't the main brief of a Taxi, but they do ask these sorts of questions and I'm always struggling for a good answer.
I know there's general guidance - like don't "stir" your partner around in a return, etc. but these are more about what the guy should be doing. Are there any other things we gents could be doing to help?
On a related point, Franck, a number of new women who came along recently have been wearing soft-soled training shoes (there were 4 last night), which are a nightmare for spinning in. I could see they were getting frustrated with their problems spinning, and it may have put them off coming back. Does the publicity say anything about suitable footwear? |
