The Invitation

“Would you like to dance?” This is a moment of surprise, hopeful anticipation, uncertainty, and sometimes downright fear. These emotions are experienced by both the extender and the invitee. “I didn’t expect to be asked.” “Please say yes.” “I hope this works out.” “What if s/he says no, or worse, what if I screw up and we look stupid?” “What if I say yes and I disappoint him/her.” All these thoughts flash by in a moment of decision. Even the most experienced social dancers go through this trying ritual before each dance. It’s a wonder that anyone would subject themselves to it . . . yet we persist. Why? Because when it all works out, a successful social dance can be glorious!

Unfortunately, in many situations the invitation is declined or worse, never extended. Often because of a lack of confidence and/or competence in the mechanics of social dancing.

We would like to share with you how this may be remedied.

Why, because we experience the joy of dance. We want to share that joy with those that have experienced frustration in attempting to dance. It can be done, but it takes a new way of looking at how people dance and how you can learn to dance.
