If you have any random, non-dancer friends who are willing to be your 
guinea pigs, try explaining some basic moves to them and see if they get 
it.  It doesn't have to be a huge, full evening thing.  If you've got 4 
friends in a room, see if you can get them through a ladies chain and 
then go back to the Scrabble game...
