Re: [Callers] What are they thunking? (was Re: Hand Turns & Safety)

At the last Style & Technique workshop that I ran at Chippenham Folk Festival, one of the key areas that I focussed on was finishing a flourish with both dancers facing in the correct direction, and on time. One guy failed completely. When my wife danced with him during the lesson, and pointed this out, his attitude was that he liked the way he danced and had no intention of changing it. He seemed completely oblivious to the fact that he made all the ladies late for the next move, and that they didn't like that. I have no idea why he bothered coming to the workshop in the first place!             Happy dancing,                    John John Sweeney, Dancer, England   john(a)modernjive.com 01233 625 362 & 07802 940 574 http://contrafusion.co.uk/KentCeilidhs.html for Live Music Ceilidhs http://www.contrafusion.co.uk for Dancing in Kent http://www.modernjive.com for Modern Jive DVDs
