    gotta laugh...I have permission to share this by the way...about 4 months ago or so when John Swick was looking at my arm styling on a crossover, he goes....lol..."you you like a da-- chrysler hood ornament"...this just slayed me I thought it was so hysterical and spot on....(he says plenty of nice stuff too, btw)...but there I am standing with both of my arms flung out and way too far back...and well...you had to love it...now bear in mind, I had permission to to share...


    so I am wondering have any of you had some funny moments in a coaching you would like to share...you needn't say with whom...in fact that might be preferable ...just thought it might be fun

    "I can dance it much better when I am sitting because I don't have to listen to the music!"

    WHAT? How non sequitur can you get? I laughed out loud so hard at that one.

    hahahah, I wouldn't even know what to say to that one. Further proof that pro/buddy teacher/everyone are wrong, and I'm right, that I should NOT be a teacher. :)

    I think a "vicious foxtrot" would be a compliment.

    I got a "Well that was a wee sexy oversway!" once.

    :confused: Left? Mine told me to concentrate on my right boob. The left one doesn't get much attention.

    I'd think it'd depend. Working with variuos coaches, choreographers, etc, seems to be two real attitudes with foxtrot, either a very smooth more sophisticated dance, or a lot more sexy, fun foxtrot. Depending on hwo's choreographing it, first will be more closed, second more open, though not always. I know parents and friend both commented on that when particular choreographer in our chain did new dances for each of them. He's known for particular sexy/crazy choreography, and he (and the pros in question) all described it as a differnet goal/style (while still being Foxtrot, of course :) ), of foxtrot.

    Course, that may just be us in this chain.

    I will not out this one either, but he always says to my students, in a british accent, "There's a saying in England... always take your left ***** toward the queen in the balcony..."

    Lets just say it was from an English coach with a dry since of humor. She said it in a joking manner of course.
