Dancing around your handbag?

I haven't encountered any partner dancing with her handbag, but if she did shouldn't she be handling it like a man does his sporran? (that pouch hanging in front of a Scotsman's kilt -- hey, I said "pouch", not "paunch" [grin])
When we dance we're supposed to move our sporran over to our left side where it's out of the way. So by analogy I would think that a woman who dances with her handbag should be keeping it over on her right side where it should be out of the way.
Though if the handbag has a long strap, I can imagine that it would act like a mace if we lead her into a spin.

A mace? Methinks not! A flail! Ouch!

Club dancing, yes, unless you have a small handbag that can go over your head / shoulder.
If I go out ballroom dancing there is usually a group of us where we don't all get up at once and the handbags are left at the table or with someone to look after. Have never "couple" danced with a handbag, that would be a real problem!

When I take a bag with me I either give it to a bartender to hold it for me or I hide it somewhere (behind a trashcan or atm machine). Also since I see the same people out dancing every week I just leave my purse there and so far no one has ever taken it. But I never walk around with my purse because I think it would prevent guys from asking me to dance.
I'm weird, I guess. I rarely carry a handbag in any of those sitations. I just leave in the trunk (boot) and go in, unless I need something, like lipstick or makeup, from my purse.
Like I said, I'm weird. Most women I know can't be parted from their handbag that long without serious withdrawal symptoms. :lol: 8)
