PTSIZE="12"><BR>Dancers:<BR><BR>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><BR>R. S.
