Aahahahahahaaahaaaa... My knee hurts. Dance class/mini-workshop. Theme: swings. Now I know how to give a guy enough feedback that he helps me slow my descent into the swing enough (rather than let me freefall) that I can stop the downwards motion before I go so far down that it is putting pressure on my knee without also stopping the sideways or turning momentum. And the guys who were there know to listen for that feedback, because I can't stop early enough without help. Speaking of sideways momentum, the guys also know not to take my weight aaaaaalll the way out sideways in a pendulum-type swing, lest my feet slip out from under me.

And are you sure you are allowed to be dancing with someone your own size? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3p_Qcx5ioE&NR=1&feature=fvwp Don't blame me, offered it to me when the video you sent me to stopped playing. Although the lack of a score does make it a somewhat surreal experience. <grin>

He's a little taller now :P The young gentleman wanted a video to send home to his family to show them some of the things he'd been learning while in Australia. I don't remember which song we used, although I can ask the videographer :D

Also, I'm not the shortest lady at class. Even when I'm in flats.
