Overall, I agree with you, but I mostly don't have a problem when I'm doing the woman's role and someone prefers a symmetrical swing. (On the gripping hand, I'm almost always getting into the swing with my hands already in the correct location for ballroom position, so it's up to them to make clear they want something different.) -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html
