Usual problems in partnerdancing activities
O We are faced with a generation who spend moretime in front of monitors than other people –their socialization experience is limited toblogging, face-booking and e-mailing – pursuitsthat allow you time to think before acting, or ifafter typing, allows you to erase and rephrase.Face-to-face encounters have a different set ofsocialization skills compared to web encounters.
O shyness of students (feeling of awkwardness) toget a partner of the opposite sex
O unequal distribution of boys to girls
