	Do you find that if you dance on two different surfaces whithin a 
short time it takes about three dances before your muscles get 'tuned' 
to the 'resonance' of the new floor?   I used always to get that sensation 
as we used different floors (one Parquet & the other sprung) each week 
and going from sprung to parquet was quite painful.
