Well, that would be me, but give me a break... What's "rude" about that? That's just an expression, as in "grab me later when I have time", because I wasn't just the instructor but also the event director. For what it's worth I spent almost the whole night running around taking care of things and making sure the party was enjoyable as possible for the
99.5% of the people who indeed enjoyed it.
But, it's certainly unfortunate that there's only one of me because I make a point of dancing with everyone who asks. When there's 400-500 people, AND I'm running around, I simply can't. Normally in the class I teach that if people didn't dance it's because they didn't ask, and though I forgot to mention it in the class Saturday, it's definitely the case. We can't hand people a guaranteed good time. All we can do is give them the great opportunity to have one. Quite frankly I have to say my fantastic staff and I have done a really good job of that over the 8 years or so.

Thanks.
