are difficult on their own and worse in combination. Very hard to work out how to do them correctly.
In "Youth: Scenes from Provincial Life" JM Coetzee has his younger self say this about his mother going out dancing.....
'As for himself, he was glad the dancing had come to an end, though he did not say so. He did not like his mother to go out, did not like the abstracted air that came over her the next day. In dancing itself he saw no sense anyway. Films that promised to have dancing in them he avoided, put off by the goofy sentimental look that people got on their faces.
'Dancing is good exercise,' insisted his mother. 'It teaches you rhythm and balance.' He was not persuaded. If people needed exercise, they could do calisthenics or swing barbells or run around the block.''
