You can tell by her laughter that she is deeply embarassed.
"They" are not all masochists, "they" probably are too well educated 
to react properly to this rudeness demonstrated in public. 
It's sad to watch, so the title of thread "funniest video" is not appropriate at all.
No consideration shown for the follower, just exercising the will of the leader, 
kicking her around like an object (poets on this list: maybe you should add football to 
your list of dear metaphors) . And no music interfering in this lesson, either.

It is definitely not a question of technique done correctly or skilled enough. 
It is a question of paying respect to the person you are dancing with.

It makes me feel sad to read this, Trini, written by a woman:
"the woman in the video didn't have the technique down, 
but with practice she might one day".

IMHO the best practice is to learn to step out if this kind of practice.
