Article: The Man Is Always Right and the Woman's Job Is to Follow
Was dancing the woman's part at Richard's West Coast Swing class tonight.
The guy I was dancing with told me I did not have enough frame and to push harder.
I do not like to dance that way, so I started to argue with him.
One of the things I regularly tell women is, "to act as if the man is always right, as long as he is not hurting you. The woman's job is to follow and make whatever the man does work."
So I caught myself and told him I would try to push more, but it did not go well, because my initial reaction created a little emotional tension.
After the break, when I rotated to him again, I told him, "Let's see if I can do better this time."
The second time did go better, and he complimented me on my following, no doubt because of my pretty green eyes.

Article: I Praise the Dance - St. Augustine
I praise the dance,
for it frees people from the heaviness of matter
and binds the isolated to community.
I praise the dance,
which demands everything:
health and a clear spirit and a buoyant soul.
Dance is a transformation of space, of time, of people,
who are in constant danger of becoming all brain, will, or feeling.
Dancing demands a whole person,
one who is firmly anchored in the center of his life,
who is not obsessed by lust for people and things
and the demon of isolation in his own ego.
Dancing demands a freed person,
one who vibrates with the equipoise of all his powers.
I praise the dance.
O man, learn to dance,
or else the angels in heaven will not know what to do with you.
~ Saint Augustine, 354-430
