I don't care what level people are at, or even if they close their feet. The only two things that gets us swearing like mad are people who stop dancing and do not get off the floor and those who go against the line of dance. It's amazing how some dancers will launch off into a pattern that takes them backwards against LOD without a thought. (They are not beginners, we understand that beginners often get confused and flustered. In their case, one of us will usually tell them they are going the wrong way.) My husband is pretty good at dodging them but I told him to just plow into them (I'll risk the bruises) just to make a point.

How SWEET, Clary! Thank you!

I'm so flattered- my very first post-follower! *Beam*

Hah...I hate when they go against the line of dance. I have a bruise that covers almost my entire foot from someone going against LOD and my partner not being swift enough to move.

Actually the bruise was from one of the couples that thinks they are much better than they are and so they go clomping around clarifying how bad his floorcraft is and how bad her foot work is....
they are the same couple that slam their arms into innocent bystanders as they maintain their bad frame at all costs...LOL.

My foot STILL hurts from one of these couples from two MONTHS ago. She stepped on the arch along the outside of the foot, and it went totally numb for a couple of weeks- huuuge black bruise. They were "working on a routine"...
