Why is it that some dancers feel the need to "arm wrestle" when doing a Swing Thru or other types of arm turns?<BR>
<BR>
Our club dances "hands-up" (waves, etc.). Invariably there will be one man, perhaps two, per night in the hall that insists in trying to arm wrestle with you in the act of completing a Swing Thru and/or similar movements. He can't just make contact, walk forward and complete the 180-degree turn and release. He has clamp onto your hand and apply an abundance of pressure on the turn usually pushing your arm back and out of the way. This makes it much more difficult to complete the simple movement.<BR>

This same type of person will also force a lady to twirl even though she has her arm down and not wishing to do so.<BR>
<BR>
Does anyone have a similar occurrence and perhaps a solution to this problem?<BR>
