grace
There was grace in the old form of dancing – foxtrot, ballroom, jive, waltz……..What we see today is nothing but trapeze acts. Most dances of today can be performed without partners.
The reality shows that exist today encourage the trendy forms which neither have grace nor form. Popping, moon dance the works are all forms that only show the capability of a performer dong those difficult split second steps but where is the Grace.
Today’s dances are more for those who want to lose weight.

I was lucky to also be part of Latvian society in NYC and often they gave dances where everyone did the waltz, tango, and other ballroom dances.
I do not dance but do miss watching when good dancers perform these old time dances.
