I could've danced 10 times better with them if they had actually danced WITH me, instead of OVER me. In my view, I see someone as "advanced" who can dance with anyone of any level. Like the leader who can lead a total beginner...and should be vice versa.

Well said, SG! Some of the people I admire the most are true examples to this.

I replied "Yes, you're very wild, but its a lot of fun and I enjoy it!"

:? Now, I am confused. Are you positively reinforcing a behaviour you were not happy with....? Shouldn't you have expressed your opinion in a form of "Perhaps if you'd like to try......."? Just my two cents :oops: .

I completely agree with you on this one scorpionguy, theres this guy that i know who could potentially be one of the best salseros in florida and when he dances with beginners or intermediate he lowers his dancing ability to theirs and actually tries teaching them a few things and he always ends up makin the girl look good even if it was her first time dancing.

The rule of thumb when couple dancing is that the strongest dancer must adjust to the level of the "less-skilled" dancer. There are no ifs and buts. The stronger dancer adjusts and that's the end of that. Too bad too many people don't have the ettiquete to go with their skills.

I can understand a beginner doing a tasmenian devil impersonation, but an advance dancer has no excuse! Grab your pride and ego put them in your packet for the time being, there is a time and place for everthing. Adjust, suck it up, and enjoy the time the other person gifts you with.
