At my most spirited, I've been known to jump straight up and down and yell the lyrics of the song to my closest friend. If I'm throw-up-level drunk, I might try to do something rhythmic. My history of not-dancing combined with my neuroses with respect to touching strangers or giving people the wrong idea, romantically, would not have made me a good candidate to take a partner dancing class. But I did, and I'm glad I did. I think it made me better at paying attention to what other people are doing, and ultimately, it made me more cognizant of nonverbal communication, and it may have even made me a little nicer.
