[Squaredancing] [Arm Wrestling Anyone?]

maybe they weren't taught the right (gentle) handhold?

1. Tell him that in that way he'll hurt you. Maybe in a break between 
tips show him the right handhold.

If this wont work,

then

2. in the tip stay away from any hand- or armhold to him,- so if the 
caller calls a regular wave and you would have to hold hands/rm with 
that rough dancer then act as if the caller has called "...with no hands"

if that also wont work,
then

3. complain loud while dncing so the shame of the public will go to that 
rough dancer.
