Maybe it is just my ineptness (ineptitude?) on the dance floor, but it seems to me that the guide has the dance responses backward. When my dance partner signals for a pirouette right and I strike the "9" key, I stumble. The same goes for the response to the left piroutte and the "7" key. Yet when I do exactly the opposite it seem to work, though this seems illogical. Is it me or....?

Perhaps you just need more practice. When I first started playing the game all I did was stumble. Get the dancing shoes, they help a lot. Once you kind of get the rythem it will be easy. Practice makes perfect. I've been carrying around 3 beautiful Gov's daughters that I've rescued. Just need to decide which one to marry... LOL

Just imagine that the gov's daughter is standing on your number 5 key and almost always points at the key that you are to press next (nr8 key being the only exception)...
(and don't caress that number 5 key that much!)

Maybe two left fingers Juan!!!  Seriously, I was lousy at dancing. After a while it just started happening and now I'm wooing all the Gov's daughters on the Spanish Main!

Juan de San Diego - yes, in fact the guide is wrong. When the daughter gestures towards you to one side, the keys are 1 and 3, not 7 and 9 respectively.
The dance patterns are, therefore:
P-4-P-6-P-4-P-6,
P-6-P-4-P-6-P-4,
1-6-1-6-1-6-1-6,
3-4-3-4-3-4-3-4,
P-8-1-1-P-8-1-1,
1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2,
8-2-1-1-2-8-3-3,
and ultimately
3-2-3-8-3-2-3-8.
P of course stands for a one-beat pause.

I think I know why.. Try using the 3 key for a right pirouette and the 1 key for a left. As far as I remember, 7 is for right pirouette and 9 is for left (you are doing 9 for right etc.), but correct me if I am wrong.
edit: Oops that had already been said

Thanks for the info...did not think I could get it quite that wrong...Will try to get the pattern straight!

Like I said on a similar thread very recently - the 9 and 7 keys are not used in the dance sequences.

  Don't really have a good answer for that one. Thats my nick name for Howard... Everybody just calls me Howie.. I always used it. I guess because I couldn't think of anything real cool  . Besides Falconer is already taken so I can't use that name!!!

Falconer take a quick look to the left side of your screen. See that BIG musketoon looking at you? And that angry green parrot staring at you? It's not the name thats supposed to be scary it's the armament that backs up the name that counts. I can definitely see that Pollyetta is getting angrier by the second Pollyetta says that nobodys gunna mess with Howie Hood!
