"Pitfalls in Ballroom Dancing"
~ by Dr. Victor Jean Ouellette



My toes, my toes, my aching toes I got clobbered in a one foot pose.

- It can break up a marriage if she wants to lead. If the lady is leading then the man is a wimp. The good thing is that the wimp phase of the learning curve usually doesn't last too long.

- You buy nice new expensive special suede soled dance shoes, then some beginner steps all over them. LOL

- Dancing with a dance instructor is mega intimidation. It doesn't matter how nice or how good the dance instructor is, dancing with them is always intimidating.

- Never dance close when dancing with a dance instructor.

- You learn a nice dance step in dance class then go to a REAL DANCE and are standing on the floor with a blank look on your face trying to remember what that great step was that you just learned.

- Playing bumper cars can be fun sometimes but on the dance floor it means no FRAME. Gees, only the initiated will know what that means.

- You have been shown a step 10 times but still don't get it. You finally get it then someone talks to you and you forget it.

- An inexperienced leader (read man here) blinks and the very experienced follower (read lady here) turns sideways or spins. You are left wondering what it was that you did and the lady tells you that you sent a signal. Like WHAT signal was that?

- The leader starts to do something then can't remember two seconds later but the signal is sent and the lady is-a-movin. Abortion takes place and the lady looks at you with a big grin and wide eyes like "Okay that was fun."

- The lady says to the leader while on the dance floor, "I'm bored now, do something else." Ya like we've not heard that one before.

As Always...Happy Dancing!
