I was put into a drop last night by two separate men & I was TOTALLY unprepared for it!
They were different drops so I didn't even see it coming the 2nd time.
I've only been dancing for 5 weeks & I hadn't danced with either man before.
In both cases they were done before I realised what was happening (I was just following & suddenly I was nearly horizontal!
)
It WAS quite exhilarating, but I was very aware that I had no idea what I was doing.
I would have much preferred to have been taught the move & be dancing with someone I know & trust, before attempting something like that.
I actually felt pretty safe with the first man, just a bit vulnerable, but I was already feeling quite uncomfortable with the second & pulling me over backwards & catching me didn't help.
I'll not dance with him again.
A friend was with me for her first class last night & it happened to her too.
I hope it doesn't put her off... if it had happened to me in my first week I would definitely have thought twice about coming back.
It's not put me off because I'm already hooked, but I will be a little more careful with my dance partners from now on.
