Re: Dancing with better dancers

I always make a point of dancing with

a - new beginners
b - people who are better dancers than me
c - friends I have made through ceroc
d - the teacher

also, if I see someone do a move that I can't or that I get wrong, then I ask them if they will go through it with me.

as a result, I have made a great group of friends through ceroc who get together to dance and also help each other out with moves and going over moves.

Never be afraid to ask better dancers for a dance. I know that is easier said than done and I know that I am also put off from asking myself if

1 - I have just seen the girl give an awesome performance on the dance floor
2 - the girl has just danced with an awesome partner

but I never let that stop me and what I have learned is that the girls and the guys who really are good dancers will always help out and are often pleased to do so.

Ask the other person for feedback and don't be afraid to screw up.

For girls who get it wrong dancing with a better guy - "it is always the guys fault cos he's leading" and for guys who get it wrong dancing with a better girl - "ask the girl what she was expecting and try and work it out a second time rather than get embarassed"

IMHO
