This was really an intersting posts and I enjoyed reading all the comments.... Oh no, I will try not to be "snooty or what" to call myself an advanced dancer...
But as a dancer who dances with a partner, and works always just on our routines, we tend to miss the fun of new steps, or just something I have not danced in a while.
When someone asks me to dance, it is so much fun because they are usually either teaching me a new social step, or something I have not danced in a long time. Really, I am as much afraid of you as a beginner as you are of me..... I do so much wish that I would be asked to dance more often in a social setting.....Love to dance with my husband/partner, but in a social setting sure would appreciate an extending hand just to play!!
