| Astro Dancing DANCING AROUND THE ZODIAC
This is a rough guide to astrology and dancing: you can see the trait that stands out for your sign. They are a general description and wonÕt apply to everybody. ARIES They are extrovert or in-your-face. But they are also impatient and impulsive, making mistakes when they learn routines: they donÕt always finish what they start. They are also the daredevils of the zodiac, jumping first and thinking later! If youÕve seen Harold Nicholas (of the legendary Nicholas Brothers) dance youÕll see what I mean! TAURUS This sign, more than any other, can show the extremes of dancing: they can be clumsy and slow or move like Fred Astaire. TheyÕre sensuous nature makes them feel the music (& their partner!) but the resulting rhythm depends upon their ability! GEMINI They are nimble-footed and agile: theyÕre very quick around the dance floor. They learn steps/routines very quickly and are young at heart. Frankie Manning, the legendary Lindy Hopper, is still teaching and dancing in his late eighties. CANCER They donÕt like to draw attention to themselves and hate to be the wallflower. TheyÕre hypersensitive about what other people think about their dancing. There are, of course, exceptions: Ginger Rogers. LEO They are the natural performers of the Zodiac, possessing charisma and personality. But they can also show-off and be more aware of the audience than their partner. They can look for applause, needing to feel noticed and appreciated. ThatÕs why they can indulge in more complicated/flashy moves-as long as they can do them well. Gene Kelly is a famous lion. VIRGO TheyÕre the technicians on the dance floor. They can learn a routine or style precisely but they can worry too much about doing it perfectly. This can deprive them of spontaneity and flair. The precision can be used to good effect in the right feet: Michael Jackson. LIBRA Image is very important to them: they like to be aesthetically pleasing! And itÕs not just the clothes: they want to look stylish and graceful around the dance floor. They like a partner who makes them look good! Jayne Torvill is a famous example. SCORPIO They are the sexbombs on the dance floor! Have you noticed their intense/hypnotic stare?! Their simmering passions can make them sensual and erotic, usually in a subtle way. (They donÕt do things by halves and usually commit themselves 100% to any dance that interests them.) SAGITTARIUS Their enthusiasm and enjoyment of life comes over in their dancing: they want to have fun! They are also very theatrical because everything has to be larger than life. They can use flashy/revealing clothes to get their point across...and don't like to be upstaged! Busby Berkeley is a famous archer. CAPRICORN They work long and hard to learn a style of dancing but the struggle can sap them of fun. This changes as they get older because they mellow out and have less of a need to stick to strict guidelines and rules. Anna Pavlova, the Russian ballet dancer, is a famous example. AQUARIUS They are conservative or they like to experiment with the steps, trying different things. This results in originality, misguided steps or the need to be different for the sake of it. John Travolta is a quirky example. PISCES They look like theyÕre floating on the dance floor because theyÕre light and airy. They know instinctively where their partner is going, almost blending in with them. Cyd Charisse is a famous fish. |
