for the feet, read by the heart, and destined for the soul. © Adrienne Hughes 2005

"Those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those
who could not hear the music.”– Angela Monet
Life may not be the
party we hoped for,
but while we are here
we might as well
dance

"On with the dance, let the joy be unconfined, is my motto;
whether there's any
dance to dance or any joy to be unconfined."
--Mark Twain

"reach out to the silence at
the still point of the turning world.
Except for the
still point there would be no dance.
Love is itself unmoving, timeless.
Only the cause and end of
movement".

Dancing is about two people
communicating with their bodies and responding to each other's movements.

Let that day be lost to us on which
we did not dance once!
- Friedrich Nietzsche
"There is nothing more notable in Socrates than
that he found
time, when he was an old man, to learn music and dancing, and
thought it time well spent."
...Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)
Dance teaches you social etiquette, physical
coordination,
and it’s also great exercise.

Why is Ballroom
Dancing better than a Blind Date?
-A bad date lasts all evening, but a bad dance lasts
three minutes.
-You can dance with a dozen different partners in
just one hour.
-If the dance partner is good, you can have another
dance right away.
-You can enjoy the music even if you don't enjoy
your partner.
-You have an excuse not to talk if you don't want
to.
-You are always dressed just right ... look for a
partner dressed to match you.
-No awkward goodbye at the end of a dance.
For MEN:
-You don't have to pay for her
dinner.
-You get to see her before you commit to spending
any time with her.
-You can get in close if you want to.
-If you like her, you can wrap her up in a cuddle
without asking.
-You can take her for a test drive and see how she
handles.
-You find out right away if she is a back seat
driver.
-If she has bad breath you can spin her around to
face away from you.
-If she talks too much, you can ignore her and
'concentrate' on the music.
For WOMEN:
-You get to buy a special pair of shoes for the
occasion.
-You have more than 50 men to choose from on any
given night.
-If you don't like his looks, you can decline the
dance without trauma.
-You find out right away if he knows how to lead, or
needs to be led.
-You can ignore his bad jokes and 'concentrate' on
following.
-If he smells bad, you can lean out away from him
and people will compliment you on your dancing style.
-Even if you don't meet any one interesting, you can
get pleasant exercise
-If he talks too much, you can step on his foot.
-If he gets in too close, you can step on his foot

Life
is a journey.
It's NOT a guided tour.
So don't miss the ride.
You don't get a second shot at it!
People do not stop dancing because they get
older,
they get older because they stop dancing.

Dance Giggle:
Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and Gower Champion were sharing a
limousine to MGM. A short distance from the studio, however, they
found to their dismay that a bridge they needed to cross had
collapsed, leaving them across a fast-flowing river from the
studio.
Undeterred, Fred declared, "We're dancers! We'll 'dance' across!"
Having spoken, he gathered himself, spun around a couple of
times, and nimbly danced across the surface of the river.
Gene agreed, "Good idea Fred!" He jumped up, and also danced
across the surface of the water.
Gower Champion said to himself, "What Fred and Gene can do, I can
do too!" So he took a deep breath, and jumped out onto the water-
and promptly sank. Not wanting to lose out, he climbed out, took
another deep breath, leaped- and promptly sank again.
Across the river, Fred and Gene watched as Gower kept falling in
and climbing out and falling in. Finally, Gene turned to Fred and
said, "Do you think we should tell him where the stones are?"
And Fred looked at Gene, puzzled, and said, "What stones?!"
