[Whitebeard]

Hooray, I've managed to register - some problem with my AOL address.

I'm the perpetual beginner, perhaps something to do with advancing years and a natural diffidence limiting the amount of dancing I've done over quite a few months.

However, I pretty well know the beginner moves and can usually string together the four moves taught each session whilst still occasionally managing to fluff the hand changes. And this brings up the first of my problems.

Although man's left to ladies right seems to flow quite naturally, I do have difficulties with some partners when it comes to man's right to ladies right, when the lady is turning in such moves as the yo-yo. I'm supposed to be the leader so it must be my fault. I know it's palm down for me, but which fingers engage in this manoeuvre? Any observations from experienced dancers?
