Steven has unintentionally taught many things that later developed into nationwide bad habits. It is almost an inevitable a part of being suddenly influential. He's also not the only one.Roy wrote:This can't be pinned on Steven, I recall driving him from SF to Oakland about 3 years ago, and he was complaining how dancers were trying to hit everything in the music. He never taught it, never supported, and never dance like that.

Well, having read this thread, I think it's clear that there are a lot of reasons that this has occured. Each argument has merit.
As for you Julius, I watched you dancing in Denver and really enjoyed it. You looked like you were having a good time. When we let go of the politics and the "shoulds", the good time is the bottom line.
As an intentionally "busy" dancer, I can tell you my absolute favorite part of dancing is when I am just "with" someone's body and feet. The best is feeling a great connection and trading 4s or 8s with a really good follower when we're both paying attention to each other and the music.
Right or wrong, when I "call & respond" with someone based on the rhythm and the mellody, I'm in paradise.
