The Language of Dancing
for Singles.
By Dancin' Dan Parker

It is given that dance is an instinctual, viable form of self- expression. One that doesn't necessarily have rules. You can dance simply by moving your body to a rhythm. This rhythm doesn't even have to come from an outside source; it can be completely an internal inspiration.

If you don't believe me, just ask any of my dance partners.

Socially, in the night clubs, we mostly dance in a free-form, or dare I say it, disco style. However, partner dancing, whether it be country, swing, or ballroom, has made an enormous come-back in the social arena.

While attending the South Western Regional Swing Dance Championship recently, I pondered the reasons why partner dance is making such a huge come-back. I am sure two reasons are:

1. Popular musical styling has slowed down.

2. Most of the baby boomers have outgrown screaming guitars.

Dance has its own language. That language is one of the best ways for romancing and meeting numerous singles.

Unfortunately, if you are holding someone, or being held, and you try to move strictly on your own, you will create problems for yourself and your partner including, but not limited to, scuffed shoes, sore toes, mussed clothing, and possibly even broken bones.

Hence the need for organized ways to:

• Direct the dance.
• Remove the dance from pure instinct.
• Apply intellect to dancing.

Since man first began dancing with woman, dance has been an ever-evolving art form with certain accepted directions emerging and being handed down from dancer to dancer. These conventions make up the language of dance.

Even if your total exposure to partner dance is the movie Strictly Ballroom, some sleepless morning on cable, you know that it is the man's responsibility to lead and the woman's responsibility to follow.

The "lead" is the man's way of "requesting" a move of the lady and the "follow" is her response. This request and response are communicated
through the "dance frame," which is the physical link between the dancers. If the lead is the language of dance, then the frame is the telephone.

However, if you learn the language of dance: the lead and follow, and have your telephone: the frame, plugged in, then ultimately the lady will be able to respond as the man leads.

There are only about 15 basic hand positions, and even fewer (8) feet positions. If you don't know them well, then it is sheer luck if you don't wind up with your arms and legs hopelessly entangled with your partner, and your nose pressed firmly into your shoulder blade.

However, I guarantee that if you take the time and energy to master the basic language of dance, then you will have the most enjoyable way possible to meet new singles.
