    I liked the article gals. Just wanted to drop you a line to let you know that my fiance and I are practicing the “Dirty Dancing dance” as our wedding dance. We are even taking lessons at Arthur Murray. BUT what I need help on is on are the types of dances in that final scene. Does anyone know all the “types” of dances? I believe it has: Mambo (basic) with a Mambo promenade, Polka (basic) (i think)…this is where I need help. Can anyone fill me in with the rest OR good resources on how to choreograph the dance? Arthur Murray will get the foundation, but we still need work.
    Your help will be much appreciated. Thanks

    Dancers aren’t made of their technique, but their passion.

    Dancing is the only acceptable public forum for “sex” with strangers! Sex doesn’t have to be vaginal or oral or anal penetration, either. I get more from dancing with ten strangers in one night than with one man in bed all week. A PhD friend of mine once tried to measure various levels of blood hormones associated with arousal and passion, and found that dancing evoked more of these ‘mones and in greater concentration than when two people were having traditional sex. That was enough for me to go out on weekend nights and do the Tango!

    in the purifying vibrations of love, the couple has arrived when they can dance to intimacy. the silence serenates both ears and their bodies move self-directed in unison. dancing is a gift from the gods: even the spirits that lack rhythm grow into the one set by the loving partner.

    I love dancing as a form of foreplay. If you are out, partying, dancing with someone you are truly “feeling” dancing can definitely lead you straight to the bedroom.
