I think it was the wiggling in spite of the proximity of a platoon of Paratroopers that might have been my biggest mistake that day - the day before it was shaving my armpit hair with the beard trimmer attachment and then putting on deodorant

.. but it did make me wiggle

I reckon that too. If I guy has learned to use his hips well it always looks better than someone who hasn't. But if they are close together and the woman is wiggling it usuall looks silly if the guy does, because it never looks synchronised, or as good.

I agree, not a nice move, especially when you're quite a small girl (which I am) and he's a really tall bloke. As my ribs are around the same place as some of these guys hips I just don't bend in the places they're trying to shove outwards, so it's also really uncomfortable!

CALM DOWN GIRL! It's unladylike!

And just before you get carried away, I'll let you into a secret, he might have laughed at my babywipes but when pushed on the subject, he confessed to carrying a handy sized packet of 'Hackly Moists'!

Have you tried some other dance classes?

MJ teachers seem to concentrate on “how to do the moves” rather than how to dance

The local Tango Argentina and Salsa beginners’ class seem to concentrate on getting the whole body moving

I have found the quite a few style tips transfer to MJ

Practice, practice, practice.

With someone who wriggles

Salsa certainly brings on a terrific little wiggle

B, if thats what you call it!

Judging from his post... a natural thing acquired by natural practicing in front of a natural mirror?

Fraid to dissapoint you Martin, but men don't have equipment that moves like that from practice - they really do have to have some innate natural talent for it... Mirrors will only help fine tune raw talent

Hmm, so to summarise people's suggestions:

1). I can learn to wiggle if I practise
2). If I learn to wiggle by practising I will look ridiculous
3). I should make a close observation of Silver Fox's bottom

For number (3): Do I simply turn up, or do I need to make an appointment?

Pete, not been very helpful has it....

I think in essence if wiggling comes naturally do it, if it doesn't then don't force it, but do soften any 'marching' that does come naturally.....

Some of the best dancers eg DavidB never wiggle - infact he makes a point of moving as little as possible, but doing it with such style it looks fab !

Cheers Foxy - it has been helpful: it's given me some ideas to try out, so I'll play around with the wiggling for a few weeks and see how it goes....

I guess you could always fake wiggling -- at least when stood still.
Forget your hips -- keep your legs and knees pressed together with "soft" knees and then move your knees slightly from side to side, or circle slightly. Your hips should start to move of their own accord.
