Hyperreal

Hmmm, naughty taxi-dancer… Back-leading is evil, I remember anticipation being taught as one of the Deadly Sins Of Dancing (I think it was just below BO in the list ). {snip!} but there’s no excuse for a Taxi-Dancer to do this in a normal freestyle session.

Well I forgive her. She’s helped me a lot. As a taxi dancer, dancing with clueless beginners (like I was when I started) all the time must make you into a bit of a back-leader. They need to back-lead to show some of the guys what they should be doing.

For example, doing the side-to-side thing the other day, I think the taxi dancer, and at least one other intermediate-beginner felt compelled to pull my hand further down during the arm-against arm bit to show me where I should have been. I don’t have a problem with this. It’s not quite anticipation, but it’s certainly not me leading.

I wouldn’t expect it during a proper dance, but it must be difficult to switch off.

Hope the workshop goes well, keep on diary-ing!

Cheers!
