A Dance Partner

I went out dancing the other night. I hadn't meant to dance but the girls found a dance floor at the back of an uncrowded bar and dragged me onto it.

Then the boys came, prowling around our little dance circle. One of them took my hand, twirling me around and into his arms. I followed, deciding it might be fun. It was.

I love a good dance partner. They know how to make you forget everything but the beat and their smile.

My first time salsa dancing I had been clumsy but eager. My partner had been patient. If I messed up I would laugh - he seemed to like that, guiding me softly by the waist back into rhythm and grinning to himself in amusement. It had been a while since I'd met a man who knew how to lead while dancing. It was refreshing.

At the bar that night I danced hip-hop for the first time. The guy who had pulled me out from amongst my friends was light on his feet and knew how to move my body against his. Unfortunately my second partner wasn't as good as my first. He was drunk, so his mouth did the talking and his feet didn't. He wasn't interested in dancing, so I retreated back into my little circle of girls.

A good dance partner is attractive. If you are a man, knowing how to dance says something about you. No, not that you're a sissy. I can barely call capoeira dancers and tango dancers sissys. They radiate power. And any man that can dance radiates confidence. Confidence is incredibley sexy.
