This week I was mocked for describing students’ ‘beautiful basics’ with too much enthusiasm. I admit, I was cooing and gushing a little, but I have Strong Feelings about beginner dancers doing basics. So next week I’m going to experiment with using manly words to describe swingouts.
“Great! What ruggedly masculine triple steps!”
“What hairy-chested bounce!”
“I like how you let her in close and then pushed her away!”
“Hey, you almost emoted there, but then suddenly shut down and repressed – great stuff!”
Perhaps I should just go ‘Proper Man’ and just do taciturn.
“Grunt.”
That’ll totally inspire the students.
