I did ask my boyfriend to ask you to dance last night as I said you were a good dancer, while I danced with Len, but think he was too scared too ask

Hey Sal, just remembered, think you got me on the back of my head at the beach ballroom with that leathal pont tail of yours while i was dancing with Len or steve.

Yeah grab Andy next week, don't let him off without dancing, he tries to hide in the corner until women ask him to dance..!!!

Keep telling him to go ask some women to dance.

That is an absolutely key part of following. The other is to match the tension that the man has in the lead. When you have a lady who does both these things, you can lead her into virtually any move.

Re the hatchback - I can't remember the last time I led one. For some reason I've never liked it.

I don't know about a "hatch-back" per say, but I tend to do similar but step backwards and to the side that I just spun the lady so that I can collect her on my other side... I don't know if I turn or not; freestyle is a bit messy compared to class moves.

Sounds like what we call a Phil's Move, Gadget...

Don't ask me to name moves!! ; they are all different variations of "spinny thing here with a catch and slide twiddly bit"
{Just ask anyone I've danced with in classes who has asked me the name of the move we were doing - I tend to get a few 'this bloke's a nutter' looks... and that's before we've even started dancing! }

I actually can't remember the name for a few basic moves, and keep getting the names wrong {or mixed up}, so any notes I take tend to be with my own names for bits of moves.

Erm.. And I'm going with Ceroc with you because?.. Mind you, you're better than I. 1st night and I was busy "inventing" my own moves.. "The cuban necktie", " The Washing line", "The funky elephant" and my favorite "The Push-spin punch in the nose"

I'm only going to make sure he keeps his hands off my partner! <g>

I think that most people have had at least one of those... although normally it's the lady's who complain about getting hit in the face!

I've nearly done a variation on the Spinning Man Breakthrough that would be more aptly named Spinning Man Break-Nose

(mental note: arms touching ears => elbows not collecting noses)
