What’s your
Personality…Shy or Outgoing? “Active, outgoing personalities have an advantage
in social dancing. Even if you are not naturally that way, try and cultivate
a pro-active approach to your dancing. If you like a song and want to dance,
if you like a partner and want to dance with him/her, don't hesitate to go
and ask. Make friends in the dancing community. You would be surprised how
much an occasional smile and salutation can do. There are virtually hundreds
of individuals out there waiting to be friends with you. All it takes is a
minimum level of effort from you. Ultimately no-one and nothing can make
you happy or unhappy. Only you can make you happy. Dancing can help.’’ Aria Nosratinia |
