I don't agree at all. I remember dancing with an elite NY dancer. She was stabbed in her ankle by a high boleo. We had to sit down she was in so much pain. But then, karma struck. The other woman didn't learn NOT to do high boleos from kicking my partner . With her next high boleo, she kicked our table. I'm happy to report that the table was unhurt. I can't say the same thing for the woman, who hobbled to her table (off beat!). Maybe our table taught her (and her leader) a valuable lesson. But somehow, I doubt it.
