Dance Girl Dance!

Another joy of mine has also been dancing. I have loved dancing since I was a little girl, all types of dancing. The funny thing is that dancing is a great metaphor for relationships as well. When you are dancing in a pair there is always a leader and then a follower. If the two don’t automatically fall into their positions there is confusion that is shown throughout the dance. When one takes the role of leader and the other of follower without any issue the dance flows with beauty and grace.

Now in the dance being in the role of the follower is not a bad thing. I want to clear that up right now, in a lot of ways the follower has to be stronger than the leader. Not only do they have to know their own part, but in knowing their steps they also must know the steps of the leader in order to make the moves flawless. And a good leader is not just someone trying to be in charge for the sake of being in charge. They are there to execute the dance and also take into account obstacles that the person in the follower position does not have to be worried about it.

Just like in any relationship when each person assumes their proper positions it is complementary. No one person’s position is more important than the others and without the other there would be no routine. The trick in life is finding those relationships that compliment you and stay away from those who take away from your life. You’re in the dance of your life and it has been choreographed by God, but it’s up to you learn the steps. Seek the steps to your life’s dance; you’ll be surprised how fun life can be. So Dance Girl Dance!
