Some of our trainers use "strut" for heel.

I'm so glad you've found a better class - the instructor and atmosphere can make all the difference in the world!

What a difference! I'm glad you chose a different club & class.

I vote for Mustard subbing for Heel.

ohhhh what a difference!!!
SO glad you got the heck outta dodge at the time, everything happens for a reason!
and yes, sounds like heel is a poisoned cue now... i hear with me, or side or all kinds of alternate words... I am sure you find the one that is right for you
