Re: Wiggling (lack thereof)

[quote=Rachel]... My most hated of all moves are the ones where the guys ... shove your hips out with their own, from one side to the other - it's forced, unnatural, and looks ridiculous... [quote] I do lots of this, intended as a dance joke

One of the best lady dancers at Bedford is superb at giving lots of verbal feedback - mostly positive - "Yeah" goes a long way. Silence means "could do better", and there is the ocassional "too tight", "slower" etc. Because it is mostly positive I do not get the feeling that I am not up to her standard, though it is obvious that very few can dance at her level. The feedback on at what I am doing wrong helps me to be a better dancer. Ladies - please follow Rachels example and tell us what you like or do not like. You want better partners - help us to be them.

Fortunately I do not tend to repeat the exagerrated wiggle, unless the lady obviously likes it, just as you try not to repeat the same joke.
