re: dance lessons

[Guest guest]

Dear all,

I went dancing the other night and noticed some internal changes. We had a

lesson before the dance and I happened to be paired up with this very fit German

guy who was very critical. He would point out what I was doing wrong and tell

me how sloppy it was, etc. and turn very red in the face. He obviously forgot

it was a lesson, a place to practice and learn. In the past, I would have

either felt really bad about myself & maybe even quit or I would have been

irritated or defensive. But this time I just thanked him for the pointers (not

the delivery) and was loving back. He is a great dancer but obviously is

perfectionistic and projects it onto others. This happened another time with

another guy who was pointing out what I was doing wrong. The teacher came over

and danced with me to show him and afterwards, my partner said " I've been

pointing out what you've been doing wrong and its been me all along. " Dancing

has been a great place to practice relationships. I love the holding hands and

the being led to the dance floor and the various partners styles. There are

some partners that we hardly move and then others that sweep me across the

floor. I'm enjoying it all. Love and blessings, Jan

Dear Jan,

I enjoyed reading this very much... One of my close friends loves dancing

lesons also.... her husband does not go... she says that the lessons have taught

her that if she can be polite and kind to her dance partners how much more so

should she be with her life partner.

Love Julia
