Dancing in the Moment
Imagine this: You are in a community hall. On the stage, a band is playing traditional folk music, led by a fiddler. In the hall, people are dancing until the wooden floor bounces — the whole room moving in unison. You are dancing with a partner, but you are also dancing with a whole line of other people at the same time, alternating between twosomes and foursomes and everybody. Onstage, a caller is shouting out the moves. But you’ve gone through the sequence several times and it’s in your body now, you can flow smoothly from one move to the next, your momentum carrying you and buoying you up.
