Dance Class Demos

So on Sunday nights, Rebecca, Philip and I take a beginner's swing dancing class. It is a lot of fun, especially because our instructors are slightly crazy.

One time, our instructors were doing a demo, well call them Matt and Susie. We also have another instructor person in our class that doesn't teach but competes at swing dancing and helps out, we'll call her Hanna. So Matt was leading Susie around, and says, "So let's say you're dancing and all of a sudden some bumbling idiot comes too close..." He pointedly looks at Hanna. Repeating himself, he says, "Some bumbling idiot.." Hanna stands there, looking at him.

Susie whispers, "He wants you to come over and help."

Hanna goes over. Matt continues..."And they push you." Hanna pushes Matt. "Harder." He whispers. And she does. Matt and Susie demonstrate how the compression technique lets them stay balanced while dancing.

When it is all over, Hanna looks to Susie and says, "I thought he just wanted to call me a bumbling idiot."
