Confessions of a Danceholic

Analysis

I am addicted- Addicted to dancing. Any dance form, any time, any where, bring it on.
Tango remains my first love. 
All the rest fall in the second bracket.
I do not teach. But I am more than happy to help out friends and/or assist a teacher. But I tell them that I am no teacher. I dance for myself and my soul. Dancing just uplifts me.

Recently I have learnt Zouk too. While, I can safely and comfortably do zouk now, I am not hooked to it. I will soon be learning swing and lindy hop too (I know bits and pieces of it) but now I will take more classes for it.
