Dance Quotes
You may be dancing with someone else's girlfriend or wife, or someone else may be dancing with your girlfriend or wife. You may be dancing with someone who does not want the same things you do. Most people are there just to dance. You have to connect with that person respectfully. ~ Teo Bartek, Argentine tango instructor, from my book How To Dance With a Partner
