Do you know dancers who need driving lessons?

Maybe I'm a perfectionist, but I've encountered a few dancers who don't know how to drive a stick shift. In this day and age you would think most would acquire this basic skill and work it to perfection, but a few, I've noticed, are either lazy or lackluster. Again, maybe I'm expecting too much perfection, but have you ever noticed these problems?
Dancer stays in nettral too long, no progress toward the destination.
Dancer goes through the gears too fast, a rough, dangerous ride with little time to enjoy the scenery.
Dancer has no respect for factory installed equipment and sometimes tries to unscrew the shifter knob or worse, yank the entire stick shifter from it's linkage.
I prefer a smooth shifting of the gears and for the dancer to understand the proper shifting pattern. Some dancers don't even bother to inquire about the shifting pattern.
Fortunately, there are many dancers who know the proper way to use a stick shift. Maybe they should talk about that amoung themselves instead of all the other drama we know they get into.
This is not to say that I don't appreciate dancers who make the effort to drive a stickk shift withoute proper skills, in fact, I respect their efforts. For the sake of all of us, dancers--you can't get better unless you get out and drive more. Practice makes perfect. But close is still good in this case.

I live in Cbus where our Amish dancers have yet to see a stick shift let alone know what to do with one.
and regarding the amish. true story. a cop friend of mine told me about a now closed strip club that was somewhere around wadsworth that actually had young amish raised dancers. the story goes that they are allowed to leave the sect to see if they want to go in a different direction in life so some tried stripping.
Troop, I've heard the stories of how the young Amish get to play the field, sowing their wild oats before they take the "plain" road. Maybe they need some guides along the way?
Samsung: "shifting....as common as grinding in Cleveland"--if the dancers want to make money it is.
I also have a fracing gun that can fire charges into any formation imaginable, sub-surface and above.
I forgot to mention my big rig. Perfect for shallow and mid-range holes but has some trouble with deeper wells. Never had any trouble pulling the bit, though. Very versatile rig too. Excellent for multi-directional or horizontal prospects as well as conventional.
Dreamgirls in Columbus, way back before it was named Sirens was one of the best clubs in Columbus for stick shifting, nearly a dozen dancers were very good at it. The bouncers in the lap dance area were very non existent, the dances were $20 a song, with plenty of two for one or two for $30 specials, and dancers were allowed to give specials any time they wanted. A few years later new owners, higher prices killed the club. All the good dancers left, leaving lap dance skill, including stick shifting skill dropped.
The Living Room in Dayton has plenty of dancers who know how to stick shift, for the same reason the club now known as Dreamgirls was good years ago. $20 dances, dancers allowed to give discounts (even though the club broadcasts they aren't), and non intrusive dancers.
