Ballroom dancing: it's a wonderful thing at so many levels because you've got to follow the rules. They used to call those rules etiquette once upon a time, but you don't really have that any more.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's great that ballroom dancing is being recognised. For many years ballroom dancers were misunderstood and other dance forms didn't want anything to do with us.
I've just become obsessed with ballroom dancing. I signed up for the introductory course, which was like a four-week thing. By the end of it, I was hooked. I love it. It's sort of flirty, but it's not sexual. I can't quit until I've got it down and I can really dance. I'm there four or five times a week.
The thing about dancing - what it taught me all those years - is it gives you an amazing sense of discipline in forcing yourself to do things that you know are good for you but you don't really want to do.
Dancing's not always stressful, but I always make sure that I'm prepared as I can be, both physically, mentally, and practically.
My favorite time to dance is at, like, wedding receptions, when it's all ages and everyone seems to be having fun.
Dance should not just divide people into audience and performers. Everyone should be a participant, whether going to classes or attending special events or rehearsals.
When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.
Dancing is kind of my thing.
Ballroom dancing is like being on Mars compared to what I've done throughout my life.
I don't really dance. I don't drink or smoke. Being at parties is very awkward.
