That's working on the assumption that they do something in the first place and don't just stand there looking bewildered while you say
"No, we need NOT to be at arms length or we won't be able to step back - closer in, come on, I have showered tonight........ Right, now draw the semi-circle to the left and step back...... No, not that far or I'll have to take 3 steps in which will look really crap.......... OK, now pull gently with your left hand to bring me in to your right side....... No, your right hand needs to go on my hip, not in the small of my back, or it might get in the way later when you try to turn me....... Now push down with your left...." (contd. p 94)
which means it takes an entire track just to go through the first move!!! - unlike for men, who can lead women through the moves with less verbiage. I'm not saying I have a problem with this - but I'm not a taxi dancer and as I said, I need to improve by dancing with more experienced people as well. (All this was after the review class as well! - bless him, he looked terrified!! Big
