On Dancing

I have had a thought. In fact, I think about many things, all the time, but in particular there is one thought that I would like to share.

Specifically, I have come to the conclusion that dances are likely one of the most difficult social situations you can encounter. It takes a degree of balance that I have not yet mastered, at least. You can talk and be a wallflower the whole time, part of the time, or only some of the time. Conversely, you can also dance your head off and make a fool of yourself the whole time, part of the time, or only some of the time. You could mix and match. Even if dancing is your forte, and you don't make a fool of yourself, there seems to be no good way to do it without losing out on the social aspect of the dance.

Thus we see my problem. I end up dancing, and never talking. A continual dance instructor, and socially boring.

Or it could be that dances are perfectly fine social settings, and I am so clueless as to the whole subject that no matter how hard I try, I'll always be groping for answers...if so, I welcome guidance from those more fortunate to have some sort of social direction to their lives.
