Dance Class- week 2

Most of yesterday's dance class was review, which was especially nice, since hubby and I didn't have a chance to practice all week, thanks to him having to work the whole week through. I did practice my 10-step a few times, it was easy enough to do while I was standing doing dishes and whatnot. Unfortunately, Friday and Saturday I was in excruciating pain for most of the day, so the time we would have had to practice was not really feasible for me.
I woke up Sunday not hurting quite as bad, thank God.
There were a handful of new faces, which was nice, we only had 4 single women instead of upwards of 8 like we had the week before. Plus even some new women, so that was nice.
There was, however, one downfall to this new group of students... this one guy. Holy Moly. Dancing with him was probably the most irritating thing I've had to do in a long time.
I completely understand that when dancing you don't ALWAYS have to time the steps exactly the same as everyone else. When everyone turns on the 4th step, it's OK if you and your partner REALLY want to turn on the 5th. HOWEVER- I would say that doesn't need to be applied while you're still in class. We're still learning how to accomplish these moves, and this guy is completely throwing me off.
So I spoke up "we're supposed to turn on the 4, it's 1-2-3-TURN, you're waiting til the 5."
And he gets an attitude with me, "You don't HAVE to do it on that step, I want to do it on the next step."
To which I replied, "But it's not right, that's not what we're being taught."
And apparently it didn't matter to him. He stood by his "this is what I want to do" attitude. I never wanted the instructor to tell us to switch partners more than I did right then.

Closer towards the end of class, after we had learned a new spin- the slide and catch, which, to me, is 50's-esque which I love!- the instructor had us dance a little more freely utilizing what he had taught us. So then we were encouraged to do extra spins and mix it up how we wanted to, with what we felt comfortable with. Luckily I was with another guy that, so far, has been a good dancer and a strong lead partner. So then it was a lot of fun.

After class was over, I attempted to be a little social. There was a lady there that just has a fun personality and seems really nice. I would not mind hanging out with her and her boyfriend (or the guy she comes with anyway, I'm not sure if they're a couple or not) and going dancing once or twice a month! She reminds me a lot of my old friend, Dawn, who I just love and miss so very much. The only issue I can forsee with us spending time together is that she seems to thoroughly enjoy drinking. Which that in itself isn't the problem. I don't mind drinking, I don't mind being around people drinking, and when I'm not pregnant I enjoy drinking. The problem is that she seems to want to do it A LOT. So I just worry that every time we get together it's going to involve her getting drunk. I'm all for occasionally getting toasted. In the right atmosphere, with the right people it can be a lot of fun. I just don't want to do it every single time I go out.
