Moving on....

The experience of Southport last weekend has convinced me of the need for a scientific study of partner rotation - especially when you virtually have to take part as fixed couple to have any chance of figuring out what you're trying to pick up. Unfortunately in a blues class there were more men waiting to come on than there were non-fixed women on the dance floor....

I had an epiphany the other day on this topic, so thought I would resurrect the thread to bring it to your attention.

The scatter method, or the 'go find a partner' method would work fine in any other country in the world, but in the UK we have to use the queueing method. Why, I hear you cry? Because we're British - queueing is what we do best (along with the gossiping that the ladies in the queue can engage in).

I've been to nights where they use methods other than the stock 'long queue' method. They are all seemed a better alternative, but regardless of how long the venue has been using them, where I went, they always seem to go wrong at some point. Badly wrong, and somehow, presumably because they are that little bit more complicated, took longer to sort out. Simple is good in my book.

yes that works if no one else joins the class
