A key to ballroom dancing, relationships, and life is finding a balance between holding on and letting go. We need to be able to dance well and strongly in our own space, to be able to dance well with others. In dance and life, latching onto a partner and being too dependent and passively following will not work; nor will aggressively leading or dancing too independently. Coming together, dancing in separate spheres while staying connected with equal force, allows an active conversation where both dancers can alternately lead and follow for a dynamic partnership.
