Life is the dancer and you are the dance. ~ Eckhart Tolle
Over here in Blighty there’s a popular television show which is nothing more or less than a ballroom dancing competition. Strictly Come Dancing aside it strikes me that not many people trip the light fantastic these days, which is a shame in so many ways. For one thing, learning to dance improves physical and mental fitness as well as teaching good manners, deportment, and dress sense. Ballroom dancing also allows relative strangers to hold a carefully chosen member of the opposite sex in their arms, quite intimately, in public. Back in the day I was quite the terpsichorean gentleman, having learned all the basics at grammar school. Sadly, these days I doubt I could do the St. Bernard Waltz, never mind the Military Two-Step or Tango. With the festive season coming up I believe I’ll resurrect the Mr. Bojangles in me. Could be well worth it.
