Of course, it would take a particular kind of mind to see anything dodgy or dangerous about this move...

Someone posted a link to it on rec.sport.skating.ice.figure (aka rssif) a while ago.

I don't have the video, but the odds are it's a spinning lift, because (if I understand the rules correctly) all but one lift in a competition skating routine have to be done while spinning.

If you want video, there's a clip of David & Sharon Savoy doing basically the same lift (travelling, not spinning) on their website (http://www.dancechampions.com) but the image quality is pretty appalling, and it doesn't show the entry to the lift.

Just felt the need to confess that I got someone 'innapropriately' in the eye last night during the intermediate lesson.... think the move was called a lazy backhander, or something.

Ahhhh ... it can only be termed 'inappropriate' if the gentleman concerned didn't enjoy it ... I think the common term for that particular variation is, from a smiling man's perspective, is know as a 'bonus' .... UNLESS his wife/girlfriend witnesses such a variation ... then its know as 'trouble'.

The backhander moves are fraught with risk, from grabbing things which aren't the hand though to trying to break elbows when the lady is pulled out of the move too fast ..... shame, it can be a nice move.

How can you ask such a question and infer a slur on my otherwise blameless character??!

The fact is, I hadn't thought much of it (after apologising, obviously) until he started boasting to the next woman when the class rotated around... In other words: he didn't get a second go

Well here's a good one!

Just for you I think gus - H taught us a "basket triple step" at the weekend

I challenge you to manage that one without any "inappropriate" contact - well night impossible I would reckon and that's without Heather's ample charms

Re Franck's posterior patting - I didn't mean to do it and I'm really, really sorry

and there I was thinking, no, hoping that it was deliberate
After all that shimmying and twinkle in your eyes, I feel you have lead me up the garden path a bit...

Then I checked the "why do you go to Ceroc" and nobody went because they fancied their teacher!!

Never mind, I'll live, at least when I go to Ceroc, I fancy the teacher!!!

This thead has had me in fits of laughter. Especially that ice skater.

The only move I tend to have trouble with is the basket when my partner is short and has ample charms. But when it happens it is always by accident and I always applogise. Once she said I brushed her and I didn't even realise. As long as it's not a grab and it's an accidental brush I don't think either of you really mind you just get on with the dance. Besides most moves the lady can dictate how close she gets to her partner so maybe it's her fault

Yes, that one's quite tricky, as you need to create more space than with a normal basket.

Well, when I say "need", I suppose it depends on whether or not you want to avoid the contact. I notice that you inserted when referring to the move!!
