Re: Stepping back safely

I learned a VERY salitory lesson and fortunately only had to learn it once (shame it one even once some may say). There were hardly any dancers at this venue, so I gave my visual and verbal cue and lifted the lady right up into the air, twirled her round and - just as I had planned her landing zone - would yo believe it? - someone had marched his lady right beneath me!

I did notice - kept her up for longer than intended and had very painful arms the next day for my trouble!

What I am trying to say is that it is AMAZING how people can shift position when you think it would be impossible.
