On this day,February 14th, 2016,
dedicated to the bliss and blessings of love, passion and pleasure,
I make these promises to my dance partner…
For this dance only …
I give myself entirely to you. I will hold you as if you are the most important person in my life, the object of my tenderness and affection.
For this dance only …
I suspend all negative judgement about appearance or ability, mine and yours, and indulge in the delicious intoxication of our coupling.
For this dance only …
I will treasure those opportunities in our dance that allow for stillness and heart-to-heart connection, taking time and space to pause, connect, adjust our embrace, regain our axis and share a breath before moving on.
For this dance only …
I open my heart in warmth and generosity of spirit, surrendering all my ego-needs to your need to feel safe and treasured and respected.
For this dance only …
I embrace you, my partner with unconditional acceptance, bringing to bear all my skill and sensitivity on nourishing this moment of creating a dance of love and beauty.
For this dance only …
I cradle gently in my arms the privilege of embracing a caring, sensitive, vulnerable human-being. I accept this privilege as a sacred gift.
For this dance only, on behalf of all of your dance partners, myself included, I accept your offer of grace. Thank you.
Lovely Aydan. Well written perfectly expressed. I can’t imagine anyone not being thrilled to hear this before the dance.
