Why learning how to dance will make you a better person
http://ignite-dc.com/speakers/123
In 2007, I began taking swing lessons. After a year-and-a-half of submersing myself in three swing communities, a mambo studio, and the world of Argentine Tango, I discovered something completely unexpected: that partner dancing is really just a metaphor for life, and that becoming good at the former makes you much, much better at the latter.

Very eloquent & touching.
Hadn't put it in exactly these terms before, but loving the fact that my ease at trusting people has made my dance journey that much more enjoyable.
Plus I truly believe that in most cases, trusting creates trustworthiness.
So go & dance like nobody is watching: be free & open... there is nothing like it!
Thank you for sharing Clyde :o)
