Home from the milonga that ends at 3am.
It had been down to just 4 of us dancing: Lev & Julia, me & Jonathan. They kept dancing after we stopped, but Jonathan and I were discussing sequences that followers might do on autopilot and testing things out in a corner. We all took off shoes. Julia came to say bye to me, and then “Una noche más” came on, which I love, so she and I danced that together, barefoot, in close embrace, swapping roles, to end the night.
Wow, it is so true that once you’re known as a leader, opportunities to follow dry up, even as a feminine woman in high heels. I love that I mostly dance with women, but I wish I got to follow more often!
I’m giving a guy friend an “I follow too” t-shirt from Queer Kultural for Christmas, and I half think I need one too. When I say to local men “I’d love to dance with you again. It’s been a while!” the answer is “but I don’t follow.” I have to remind them “I do!”
