My Love of Dancing (Final Entry)

In a world of responsibilities, pressure and overbooked calendars, dancing is the one thing that truly makes me happy. It is the one moment when I am allowed to hand over control and simply let go.

Those rare occasions when you find a perfect partner within a dance is magical. In these moments, the partner on the dance floor is the mirror of the partner we seek in life. As a woman we easily recognize a good lead and appreciate what he offers.

A good lead is always thinking ahead. He is always protecting his partner from surrounding threats and anticipating their next move, the next step in their journey. Although the man has the more challenging role, he aims to make his partner shine and allows her the center of attention.

A good partner will cover your mistakes and hold you up when you lose your balance. They remind you to breathe when space is cramped. They watch your back and you watch theirs.

Simply stated, dancing is about the connection between two people; the intimate conversation that only they can hear. In a world of noise, there is a peaceful solace in listening to the unspoken.

If dancing isn’t a part of your world, you should try it. It will change your life.
