Backleading.

[tacad]

Here's the one I was thinking of. I have no idea what's in it.

should I "force" my husband?

a back-leading story:

yesterday night, my first class lesson after summer break. Andrew wanted to show me something, but i wasn't able to do it right away. so what he did, he got behind me, grabbed my back, and lead what i was supposed to lead. <-- this really is back-leading

Okay, I've been through about 44 pages of forum topics searching for "getting your SO to learn dance" and the like, and I've come up short. If anyone can locate the topic on convincing your spouse/SO to take up dance along with you, I'd be very interested in reading what others have to say. I promised to be very patient with my dear husband without pressuring him to take lessons (who is a gem in every sense), but I would love for him to dance with me. I figure - he doesn't expect me to run marathons with him, so I can't expect him to follow my passion. I just think he'd find it more enjoyable than he currently believes.

If anyone can connect me with this past discussion, I'd appreciate it!

take a look at the thread tacad posted!

Well, THAT is a loaded board... I'll admit the word "force" hadn't entered my mind, and as such it wasn't in the search query. On the other hand, I found a few interesting ideas buried in there, that were more along the lines of what I need. Two good pointers there:

1. Let him know how enticing it is for HIM to be the dance partner (there's a lot more detail involved, but I got it), since he probably doesn't realize the sensuality involved, and

2. Don't try to be the teacher or the critic. Let him learn (if he gets as far as a class) from the pro, and simply be encouraging.

Enough said - I won't continue off-topic. It's amazing just how much ground this group covers in a relatively short period of time! Thanks!

the reason why he isn't interested would be helpful in trying to advise you...is it his self-confidence iis it a mere lack of interest?
