      I have actually wondered how some of them aren't angry at the end of a dance. Sometimes the lead is not a clear lead. And that can really mess with the follow. Sometimes the follow isn't as interesting as the lead and that's also an issue. 🤷‍♀️

      But after watching and studying the competitions in full length for just a tiny bit, I have seen a comradery that surpasses any frustration I imagine. I have come to admire the art as a very fulfilling competitive sport.

      Oh, I think the overall atmosphere is just too fun and lighthearted, for people to get easily annoyed over small mishaps.
      And one always has the choice to stick to dancing with a regular partner, after all. I mean, no one is forced to enter into competitions with random pairings and if one has a hard time adapting to strangers or just doesn't enjoy the element of chance that brings with it...one would just not do it, I would imagine.

    It’s pretty crazy how amazing a good partner is when it comes to dancing. I’m not a dancer, but a friend of a friend asked me to dance with him one night in Nashville. I didn’t know he meant shag! I had never done it in my life. But he led the way and made it so easy for me to pick up on it! We even got applause at the end of the song, and he asked me if I’d done it before. Nope, just had a good partner!

    I feel like when you are in sync in any kind of creative way with someone you do fall in love a little bit, for the moment you're sharing with that person. But that's also true for any vulnerable moment you share with a stranger, so it can be that you fall in love with everyone you dance with and also not so serious in the long run when you do it all the time.

    The reason why non-dancers say that is because they genuinely have no idea what it's like to have to form chemistry with someone you just met and have your hearts completely open up onto your sleeve and mesh together on the stage... They don't understand it just because it might look like you are in love, really, you're more like two souls, completely vulnerable and open and raw.. the acting isn't even acting, because it's brought out of true feeling... They don't get what an emotional, amazing, terrifying experience it is.... And the utter magic we all feel on stage... God, I'd seriously do anything to perform again... Life is so bleak without it ❤

    I love watching you dance, especially getting a peek at the tattoo on your ankle. It's a fun surprise to glimpse a "secret" side to someone who seems like a very straight laced, boy nextdoor type. My little sister has a tattoo on her calf that most don't get to see and no one would suspect she was the "type" to have body art, not even me and we grew up together! I don't have any tattoos of my own, but I love to see the artwork people choose and the stories behind it. You and your partner dance so beautifully together, so sensual and heartfelt even though it's a random pairing ❤
