My mother loved to dance, my dad barely tolerated it. I think that's why she had all her children in ballet lessons really early.

I'm the only one who really took to it. I quit ballet a long time ago. I did international & contras for a long time. My body objects to it now. I love a good, turning waltz. The way most people waltz, at the contras I've been to, is an abomination.

Culturally dancing is usually for the young adults. A chance for private interaction in a public place.
