Yes, accidents happen among dancers, too, but they're far less frequent ["Pssst . . .

People are welcome to entertain themselves as they choose as long as they don't interfere with the enjoyment of others. The dorkier they look on the dance floor, the better we look.

[...] It's better to respond to what people say rather than to what you think might have been said. wrote: I thought you said that you find non-dancers [sic] "laughable", not "dangerous"? They're both. Some very good dancers are also dangerous. There're some extremely dangerous guys near whom I will not dance, one in the District of Columbia, another in Los Angeles, one here, and a great many others who aren't quite as dangerous. The one in Los Angeles seems to have the attitude that "It's my floor; get out of my way!" I love watching him when I'm not dancing 'cause he's so good, original, and creative. The others are just oblivious paying no attention whatsoever to what's going on around them. On a crowded Swing floor, I'm tying to avoid injury to fourteen people while trying to dance, Lead my partner, choreograph to the music, and pay attention to my partner. Most other Leaders are doing the same. It's the few who are not I try to avoid. We dance in a slot approximately two extended arms long and a body and a half wide (approximately two metres by 60cm). Around me and my partner can be two couples at the Right, two couples at the Left, and one at each end of our slot. Looks something like this; [-- --] [-- --] [-- --] [-- --] [-- --] (-- --) [-- --] (That's us in parentheses.) [-- --] [-- --] [-- --] [-- --] Perhaps it's better to write what you mean.
