In dealing with a girl or a horse, one lets nature take its course

I don't want to be the oldest performer in captivity... I don't want to look like a little old man dancing out there.

I don't like top hats, white ties, and tails.

The unpadded shoulders, the three-buttoned long and boxy coat, the too-short, thin pants, and the thin ties with striped buttoned shirts in dark colors-well, I suppose this may go very well with some personalities but it's not for me. To me, all such look like TV producers. Maybe they want to.

For ballroom dancing, remember that your partners have their own distinctive styles also. Cultivate flexibility. Be able to adapt your style to that of your partner. In doing so, you are not surrendering your individuality, but blending it with that of your partner.

Disco is just jitterbug.
