90 Seconds.  That's it.

It's about how long it takes to brush your teeth, microwave a burrito, or hold your breath in a public bathroom.  In our day to day lives, 90 seconds could be a blip on the radar (microwave burrito), or a critical time period in your life (hopefully not the microwave burrito).

You've seen it before. 

You're watching your favorite Bloopers Show, and out walks the bride and groom. 

Oh no.

Like controversial talk shows, or monster truck rallies - you know disaster is about to strike, and yet, you have to watch. Like a moth to a flame, you watch as a hapless newlywed splits their pants, falls over, or some combination of both.

The Dance Partner Poem


A dance partner is, the left to your right, 

They dance in the morning, or late in the night

Some win, some lose, some blame, some cry

From the first competition, to the final goodbye.

 

Some dance partners can, completely frustrate you

They push you, and praise you, until your next breakthrough.

 

So let's take a moment, to lend a kind word

Instead of the norm, severe, or absurd

For dancing together, is too great a gift

To let fear and frustration, develop a rift.

 

Your partner's too special, as a pair you connect

The best practice, for practice, is to practice respect.
