Being a southpaw myself, I understand the problems of following directions for the right-handed masses. When I got round the circle to him, I quietly talked him through the steps from a leftie's viewpoint. He danced the remainder of the dance without a problem, seeking me out afterwards to thank me. Admittedly, most of this behavior was observed in the very young, many of whom consider everything in terms of sexual attraction. Only to ask that those who teach dance try to encourage a sense of chivalry in dance.
Dancing is a great opportunity to help new-comers and visitors feel involved.
I feel dance can be an expression of our SCAdian ideals as much as any other aspect of the Society.
