OK - so after his normal round of soul-crushing commentary on my non existent technique, Will and his dance partner surprised me at the end of my lesson. Madame De Sade herself came up, pulled me into the Killian position, and proceeded to do some simple combinations with me! And wonder of wonders, I didn't run over her, trip her, crush her, or do anything else that would leave a mark or require weeks of psychoanalysis to get over!!!! I have officially done my first steps with a dance partner.
Wow - it's REALLY different with a partner. Especially one who knows what the heck she is doing. Did someone say "back lead"? Imagine, if you will, a linebacker being pulled around the rink by a chihuahua and you get the basic picture...
Bottom line - it was a HOOT and I hope I get to practice with a partner more - especially after I prove it won't be a fatal mistake. :)
