‘For you and I are past our dancing days’

What are the dancing days? When you are a teenager and have those sessions with your friends? Or when you land your first job and your evenings are spent in the company of your beloved, dreaming about your future? Or when you are dancing to maintain a balance between your work life and your children and spouse?

I would say the dancing days are when you hit your fifties. Really. Believe me. Your children are grown up, have left the home nest and you are at a comfortable stage of your career and you have more time. Interestingly, though, most divorces occur at this stage. Because suddenly you find that face sitting in front of you at the breakfast table is a total stranger.

So dancing will solve the problem? Yes, no don’t laugh. This is the time to reconnect with each other. Women, if you find you have nothing to say to your husband after all those years of discussing kids school and their report cards, don’t panic. Enroll in a dance class with him. He is not interested? Just take him there and you will see the difference.

Why am I on dancing today? It is the best form of exercise, its pleasant and you come closer to each other. That magic that is created when you are dancing cheek to cheek, brings back the nostalgia of being newly married and you strengthen your bond. The Cha Cha Cha or Salsa is not just for your feet. It is for your heart.

So go ahead, enjoy your dancing days. They are not over.

So be it !!!
