Dont worry, that won't be a problem for anyone.
I think my OH would be highly amused. My minimal dancing capabilities are restricted to Scottish Country ~ and even then, I have to ask my OH if I know this one!
I do enjoy a good "Strip the Willow"!
Actually Finn I was staying at Simon and Marianne's place; really hospitable and welcoming, I agree.
I have been skiing for 42 years, and I still study ski technique all year. When I am away skiing, I take time out just about everyday to practise some aspect or other. There is always something new to learn, and this is a sport that I love and respect.
For study, I devour ski technique books, and watch some on-lines. I have mixed feelings about the static demos on Ski Sofa, but no reservations at all about the dynamic demos.

Pleased to hear you found Gunters bar, from the outside it doesn't look like much but once inside well that's another story. Simon & Gunter are two of the best après ski hosts you could wish to meet. Pleased to hear you enjoyed the trip.

I might even go to Niederau myself one day, so that Dave Mac can teach me to dance - if his wife doesn't mind :wink:

To Dave Mac:
Hi Dave. I read in another post of yours that you practise ski technique throughout the year and then try to put it into practice when you ski. I'd like to ask how you practise during the year ? Do you mean you use artificial slopes, or watch dvds, or what ? Somebody mentioned a dvd called Sofa Ski School elsewhere. Do you know this one and is it any good ? As a beginner turning into an early intermediate I'm determined to improve within my capabilities, but without setting any unrealistic or "macho" goals for myself - too old !

I too would recommend Sauze D'Oulx enjoyable skiing & out of fashion so pretty empty on the pistes during the week which is great when you are moving onto your second week - doing harder slopes but don't want a huge audience when you end up on your back side & don't want to worry about others coming from above.
Your point about having lessons at home is the key point in getting the most from your first ski holiday. It makes a huge difference to your enjoyment of the first days on the snow. It's too expensive to waste a morning learning to stand up on skis. Besides it gives you the confidence to practice on the slopes when your lesson is over.
