The Perfect Dance

[Easily Led]

If I have had a "perfect dance" with someone in an evening I would generally avoid trying to dance with them again that night in order not to spoil that memory (sometimes it is because I need to lie down afterwards !). Is this crazy or does anyone else think the same? Obviously it doesn't count if it is with a regular partner.

One of my friends tell me that he has found that having a "perfect dance" with a lady often means that you will have great sex with them. But after you've had sex you can never have another "perfect dance".

I think this is why women avoid having sex with me. They want to have a "perfect dance"

Not crazy at all.

With me, if it happens at / towards the end of an evening, I sometimes think "Right, that's it - I'm off", so I can preserve that memory as the last dance of the evening.

I haven't done this in the past, but am thinking that maybe I need to do a bit more of this (although it's quite unusual that I'd have more than one or two dances with a specific person) to savour the really great dances.

I usually find that a 'perfect' dance only happens very rarely even with someone I really love dancing with. One of my favourite people to dance with is quite elusive when it comes to attending freestyles/classes so I always try and grab a dance when he's around. Think we've only had one really off dance when the music was a bit off, and we spent more time chatting than dancing so it didn't really matter. But the best dance I ever had with him was the first time we danced cos it was just a bit of a shock to have such a great dance with someone and find that it just all clicked.

I always think if I can go away from a dance with someone back to my friends in a bit of a daze, with them asking 'how was it for you' then it makes an evening.

Just read back my post above and it's making me smile thinking of the various great dances I've had.

Crikey that sounds soppy!

It's what I call an "I can go home now dance"

I think the same.

What is a perfect dance...??

Ive had some great dances.... breathtaking, gorgeous and absolutely to die for is that the same.??

I think it depends on why you think it has been perfect.

If you have found just the right partner, for just the right track and similar tracks don't follow on, I agree 100%.

However sometimes you find a partner in a room that is playing tracks one after the other that are similar, then I find I can carry on dancing with that partner and the majic just continues to flow through me.

However I think that once that connection has broken it is hard to recapture it.

What has happened to me Easily Led, is that I have had a perfect dance with someone and then they say fancy another and occasionally it just doesn’t measure up, probably due to a change of tempo or that loss of the element of surprise. I love to dance with dancers I don’t know because you just don’t know what you’re going to get and it could just be perfect

Personally I think its crazy If you have such a great dance, then why don't you want another one ? It's the best time to keep dancing !

Absolutely, I think two in a row is about right and then of course, two more later and then another two .... oh I know I'm just greedy but when the chemistry is there, there ain't nothing like it, why leave it at one?

[Caz]

If I have a perfect dance I like to dance with that partner again .. not necessarily to the next track but to one that I know I can dance well to and that I think they will dance well to too... i.e. bluesy if we had a fabulous blues dance etc...

I wouldn't just leave it at that one dance tho.. guess I am greedy!!!

I'll tend to avoid dancing with them for much more than an evening.

The problem is they have much higher expectations, but I know it will all go wrong next time (partly because it went so well before).


So I'd prefer they think of me as a good dancer. Maybe in the far distant future I will be, when I'll be happy to ask them to dance again.


In other words, perfect dances are bad news, unless you're far from your usual haunts.

So unless far from home, better to add a few(intentional) mistakes if it looks like getting too perfect.

For me, a dance is only perfect, if I know my partner enjoyed it as much as me... and one of the ways of showing that, is if they ask for another.. so, my answer has to me, no, I'll always have another, if the first turns out to be perfect!

If a dance is perfect then I only want more!!! If I love dancing with someone and they seem to be loving it just as much as me then I'll keep dancing with them for as long as we both want to and/or keep going back for more.
