The first time I attempted blues dancing, the guy I was dancing with BIT MY EAR.

I hated blues for so long after that. Took a couple of years, but it turns out I like leading blues so much more than following. I make a point when I teach that you can always say no and you can always walk off the floor if your partner hurts you or makes you feel uncomfortable.

I’m super touch-averse after some bad relationships, and social dancing has really helped deal with that. Good luck, friend. Do no harm, but take no shit. 💜
