The ballroom dance class was hugely and unexpectedly wonderful. The kids, all of them, were sincere, kind to each other, and focused. They were pleased to discover the structure of the arcane can be fun. They were, I think, a bit surprised to find themselves caring for their dance partners as dance partners. They didn't just learn six very old dances, they danced while laughing and talking with each other, while taking care that no one was unnecessarily embarrassed or lost in the dance. They learned steps can be restarted, that dance is essentially communication, fluid, and not about rigidity of form. And they did that through their own very genuine fears and insecurities. While remembering the unfamiliar steps, ways of holding their bodies, and formality. It was just super cool and tender and fun.
