thoughts on dance
i didn't want to forget this. this is about dancing tonight as well, but in a different sense. it is amazing fun to watch people in a salsa club dancing. the style, the movements, and of course, the facial expressions. it is so amusing to watch the people who stare off into space, the ones who are rocking their heads like they are in Flashdance, the ones who whisper the step counts to themselves. i danced with so many different partners tonight, and every single one of them was so incredibly different. i felt like i was tasting a lot of different flavored men tonight. and like i could feel and see into their personalities just by the way they danced. and by the way they led. and the solos they sometimes pulled. and the expressions on their faces and the eye contact or lack thereof. the things they said. if they laughed. if they told me their name or asked for mine. and if they flipped me off my rocker upside down and all around! i feel the strangest sensation about tonight. it's as though i went to a speed dating event, but like a whole relationship was packed into each song, and then i moved on, or they moved on. i am still puzzling over it. is it possible to truly know someone so intimately with just one dance, without ever knowing their name?
