One great thing about social dancing is you get to touch people. Sounds weird but it's actually the most beautiful thing in the world. Ballroom dancing- waltz, rumba, swing oh my words, it's such a beautiful thing! I'm not that good, but I can follow if you lead, if you take me along. Give me your hands, we'll go for a walk down the dance floor, around the many couples. Quick, quick, slow One, two, three Triple step, triple step, rock step. Beautiful. Why do you dance? Perhaps for the same reason as me... perhaps to find some purpose in your own infinity. Perhaps we've both come here with pain in our hearts let it out, let it get washed away by the joy in the room that will not leave any time soon. Get swept off your feet by someone you like You'll learn to go with the flow like riding a bike. Listen to the music from the 30s to the 80s and lift your feet to the rhythm of the ballads. Ask that person if you can have this dance, don't let them get away before the night is over, before the last song. Touch them, they'll touch you. It sounds weird, but it's so so beautiful.

this is obviously about dancing, my newfound love.
