It's awful when someone or something does that to you. Your dancing is improving, and you know it! I seem to remember a recent post about how you felt your following was improving - and this thread proves it actually cos if you hadn't been following him he would have had to do beginner's moves.

I find that in the nasty circumstances of having a dance with someone which makes you feel like a one-legged prawn (and it happens to everyone once in a while) the best thing to do is find someone nice who you know you like dancing with, tell them you've just had a rotten time and have a lovely friendly dance to build your confidence back up.
