Hi all.
Since started sailing on P&O i enjoy a nightcap watching the ballroom dancers do their stuff.
I learn to do Ballroom at school but the memory of the steps receded with time,,i do like a shuffle around and a good jive though.
But i have noticed some of these dancers are the most rudest on the ship....beware anyone who wants a slow move around the floor....you will get run over,,,and its done with gusto and deliberate.
I have even seen some move off line to barge someone out of the way.
On my last cruise on Ventura,i saw a lovely young girl stood just off the dancefloor trying to copy the moves of the dancers.
An obnoxious woman,actually veered off the floor to barge her to the floor,the kid was crying her eyes out,,,,,the woman told the girls mother she needs good insurance if the girl comes near the dancefloor again.
The mother was to shocked to say anything,,,,we was sat with a family,who's 3 daughter where all teachers,,,they each in turn took the young girls hand and took her onto the dance floor teaching her the steps.
Telling the rude woman it would be she who needed insurance if she bumped them.
Is there an Etiquette (rules) applied to Ballroom Dancing on ships?
The problem is solved on Britannia,,,it has a dedicated lounge (Crystal Room) for the Ballroom dancers,,non dancers enter at your peril.!!!
