Dancing

Dancing is a wonderful, positive way to connect with your partner . . . in front of other people no less.

Now I'm not talking about rockin' out at the club here. No busting out a Dougie or the Roger Rabbit. And it's not some ballroom blitz either. Unless of course these things are your thing. Some couples meet dancing, express themselves through dancing, and that's fantastic. Do it up!

But this is also for those of you out there who can't dance without making your partner's toes sore . . . Surprise the hell out of the one you love.

Put on that song . . . you know the one I'm talking about. You don't have to dim the lights. You don't have to pick up the stuff on the floor. Spontaneity is key. Before your partner can say no, just grab 'em and hold 'em close.

Dancing slow is the opposite of cutting a rug, and anyone can dance slow. If you can hold on to another person and shuffle around in a circle, you're dancing slow.

Dancing makes everyone feel good. Dancing close and slow makes two people feel good together, about working and moving together, leading and yielding.

Try it . . . let me know how it goes!
