RE: Regarding Dance Technique and Etiquette

I think Jim it all comes down to experience - all ways of dancing are safe
for the initiated.

I agree that the thumb hold is safe at slower pace.

I would advocate that all ways of turning are taught, rather than
experienced, and I would argue that most ways are turning are ignored by
dance instructors.

How often do you encounter that 'turning ' is a self taught 'formation'
instead of a movement which has to be deciphered?  I would say that
'turning' in many dance styles are a most important point which can 'make' a
dance, rather than a way of getting to a point.
