Making Demands to Dancers

I know that making demands to dancers was one of MIDancer's pet peeves, but I think it depends on how it is done.
I don't make a habit of it, but if there are a few moves that a dancer has in her repertoire that really get me going, during a dancing session with her I may request those moves. Spread out over a 30 min session, I might do this two - at most three times, and not always verbally... I might verbalize my request, then maybe gently move her into position so that she takes the hint, etc.
Is that being too demanding? I don't think so. I wouldn't press my luck any further than that, and maybe the next session with her I won't request ANY moves. Over time, she will learn what I like, and usually will comply.
I think the dancer appreciates this approach - if she doesn't she SHOULD. After all, her earnings are going to be based on my satisfaction and desire to get more dances. My suggestions will help assure that she is successfully entertaining me, which in turn means I will be more likely to continue dances with her.
Maybe it's my imagination, but it has seemed like most of the girls kind'a like a guy controlling the action to an extent. It might take some pressure off her, too, as she isn't wondering if I like what she is doing, plus she doesn't have to wonder "what should I do next...."
Got something to say?
