Thanks for posting this. Good writing easily awakens desires and memories – now I want to get back in to dancing. But you already know you are a good writer. I relate strongly to your theme of the fear of failure. Learning how to welcome failure has been a major theme of my life.

It’s funny – I am taking a break from working on my thesis and popped Johann Strauss into the player just before checking out your blog. What better music to accompany your waltz experiences – just another one of those serendipitous moments that life affords us once in a while.

Anyways, all this cheers me up a bit. Talk to you soon – Allen
