I didn't have a brilliant night last night.
Observed the really good dancers dancing with each other (amazing!) then found it rather uncomfortable to watch the obvious disappointment some of them (not all) showed when someone not up to their high expectations asked for a dance, they didn't even attempt to hide their disapproval at being asked or boredom during the dance. I'm not talking beginners asking the 'elite', I'm talking pretty good dancers - just not good enough for them. Needless to say, I didn't ask any of them, I didn't want to be the reason for that look of boredom on their faces.
I think a flat refusal would actually be kinder than putting some poor soul through the humiliation of dancing with them like they were something they'd scrapped off the bottom of their shoe. :evil:
The one's I'm referring to are fantastic dancers, just not very fantastic people.
