Have you ever been in a square where there is one dancer who insists on having an arm wrestle with you every time you do a movement like Swing Thru or Spin the Top, Spin Chain, etc? You can't just make connection in any of the standard (forearm, handsup/down, hand, tap holds) ways without him/her pushing your arm back as if to say, "I'm the dominant dancer here, move out of my way."<BR>
<BR>
Why do some dancers feel that they have to manhandle others through the whole tip?<BR>
<BR>
Any ideas as to what to do with someone you know is going to be very rough in wave-like formation figures?<BR>
