But in reality Helen is doing really well in this contest because of her grace and advantage from ballet and Aljaz is teaching her despite her ballet in a very creative way to dance well in a ballroom competition.
The 2 things are not mutually exclusive, ballet can be both an advantage and disadvantage, but a disadvantage does not mean " can never be done ".
Honestly I just wish for consistency and remembering what you have previously said so that you don't appear to be disappearing in ever decreasing logic circles because you want to hold onto a view which you hold dear that is being shown by your2 opposing arguments to be untenable.”

BIB The poster said no such thing. They said that they were teaching someone who had some difficulties in certain areas (e.g. flexing legs) as a result of certain habits they had acquired when dancing ballet. .
They raised the point very politely, and received a very discourteous response implying that it was nothing to do with the pupil and that they were a poor teacher. They in no way stated or implied that their pupil was incapable of learning ballroom or that they did not have other advantages e.g. in core strength.





and he Mambo (yay!).

. I suspect I might struggle although I'd like to find out.
