Hyperreal

telling us to back off hardly squares with wanting a partner….in another thread…where it is stated that the class isn’t providing enough practice time for working things through….all we’re doing here is suggesting that there ARE people out there who will spend some time in “practice” mode, if asked.

The thing is, I want a partner who is still at around the same level as me, so I can feel that I’m making a contribution too.

I don’t think that class nights (during freestyle) is the best time to help me either. It’s not whether there’s enough practice time at the classes or not - it’s after the class, a few days later that I would want to practice, to see if things are sinking in, and if not, to do something about it. And also to work on putting moves together knowing I have an understanding partner, and no audience. These practice sessions could go on for as much as an hour, maybe more.

That would require a level of commitment that’s difficult to ask of anybody, much less somebody with not much to gain.

But I should probably be writing this in the other thread at the moment…

Bottom line… I appreciate the offers of help from everybody, but dancing with non-beginners is too intimidating for me at the moment, especially as I will feel that I have something to live up to with the people on the forum.

Sorry, it’s just the way I am. :blush:

When I’m ready I will come and ask you to dance, or ask for help. I will be very grateful for any help you can then give. :worthy:

Thanks for all your support. :cheers:
