In reply to: All teachers should be able to teach this. 's message, "Sorry but teachers who can't choreograph right and left lead should not be teachers" on 03:47:56 04/01/25 Tue

When you dance a lead around in a clockwise motion for example when you are facing out from the stage you are effectively in the same position as when you turn and face in to the back of the stage. Therefore for certain moves it makes perfect sense to repeat the same leg.
It’s not about someone having a weaker left leg, especially when all steps are danced right and left.
This conversation is futile anyway as your argument is baseless because yes at the EMC right and right was permitted in the rules. Now it isn’t and there hasn’t been a CNRG competition since then.

Thank you! Someone finally talking sense instead of saying it's down to bad dancing and teaching not 'being able' to do right and left (NT) -- Double right just flows better for lead going in a circle, 00:26:21 04/02/25 Wed
- Cnrg are really good at listening to feedback so hopefully they'll take this on board and allow both double right and right and left lead rounds (NT) -- Finger crossed, 02:03:40 04/02/25 Wed
  - The reason they've changed it to L & R only is because of feedback from other orgs (NT) -- The same as the new rules about what steps are permitted in primary, 02:07:09 04/02/25 Wed
    - At the end of the day it's lazy and easy teaching now all these schools are playing catch up (NT) -- Should of learned as a beginner, 02:48:54 04/02/25 Wed
      - Wow. I’m sorry but whoever this is that keeps saying it’s lazy teaching etc (NT) -- You either can’t read the explanations or don’t understand. How dense., 04:34:19 04/03/25 Thu
        No not dense unlike teachers who are crap at teaching and too stupid to teach right (NT) -- Funny how it's mostly CNRG schools where most have no teachers exams, 04:43:05 04/03/25 Thu
