It's all what you make of it.  I think there is something to be said for a
dance with a moderate, measured tempo, where you have the time to really
experience your partner: to look at her, to touch her, and even to smell
her, all while gliding along to some of the most beautiful music around.
Yeah, it's romantic, but it works for me on a lot of, how shall I put it,
more primitive levels too.

The waltz may not be sexy or sensual to watch, but to *DO*, IMHO, it has no
equal.

I am talking Viennese here too--you can keep your box stepping.

This is not to run down any other dances of course.  We are talking about
an area of the human psyche that is about as unpredictable, irrational
and individual as they get.  What ever works for you, is what works for
you.

Of course, if you do it right, a set dance like the French Quadrille or
Wellhall, or even a Pavan or Galliard (for the truely retro) can be
pretty erotic.  It's all about how you relate to your fellow dancer(s).

Cheers,
