Thread Name: BS: Are You Scared To Dance?
Subject: RE: BS: Are You Scared To Dance?
Little Neo (what happened to Bonnie?) your father sounds like quite a guy. You were (and are) fortunate. I used to date somebody who was a physical therapist & she, after giving up on teaching me to waltz, said "you have excellent fine muscle coordination, you just have poor large muscle coordination. Usually stroke victims have the opposite." And to this day I don't know if I had just gotten a subtle put down. I can contra dance and square dance (usually) well enough to avoid wrecking the rest of the set by the simple expedient of remembering that each command usually takes eight beats and if I get completely lost waiting for the next prompt and doing THAT. But I have to admit that I would rather be on the other side of the microphone playing for the dance. PETE
