Sometimes I remember i went to school to be an animator and i have the power to make my ocs dance and gaze lovingly into each other's eyes

[mariatesstruther]

thinking of a mariatommy first meeting au where they get paired up for one of those improv swing dancing competitions where u get a random song and partner and basically try not to fall in love for the next however many minutes of dancing. they crush it and win first place and remain dance partners for years and take the swingdancing scene by storm

maybe sarah also does ballet and maria is a professional dancer and connects her with dance studios and other professional Black ballerinas

joel used to be a pretty famous swingdancer too, but he stepped out of the spotlight to take care of sarah. maybe he has a lost love tess from the swingdancing scene that he used to partner with all the time at competitions, and he’s able to reconnect with her because turns out she’s a longtime friend/dance partner of maria’s

@bumblepony this is definitely influenced by your mariatommy dancing fic lmfao its all i can think abt

[fauvester]

do any of the adoption kids dance? what's their taste in music? also is there a story behind the splash on iskra's right forehead temple?

OMG i have so many silly little thoughts about postcanon Cardassian youth music

I love my post-WWII cultural timeline for cardassia, which puts 20 years post-Fire sort of in the mainstream jazz/swing era. Out from the dignified waltzing of Garak's youth and into furtive lindy hopping in basements and bombed-out factories after government curfew.

Iskra definitely sneaks out to go to parties with the rest of the disillusioned youth of Prime. Garak knows. She knows he knows. He desperately yearns for a Cardassia filled with dancing and music and so he will condone youthful rule-breaking.

Mels suggested Romulan pop (rpop you might say) becoming a chief cardassian cultural import and I think that that's hilarious so I'm claiming it. Garak hates it but it's ubiquitous. Electropop cover of the Anthem of the Cardassian Union. Iskra Idan and Jocasta love it and play it constantly.

Young Elim listens to Terran music that he's picked up from Julian. They do sing-alongs on long drives. It's very sweet because neither of them can sing for shit. Jo listens to Cardassian classics and the occasional classical Vulcan or Andorian piece while she works.

Idan plays the Romulan harp (vulcan harp, but Romulan style [e.g. violin vs fiddle]). The harp itself was a gift from Bashir's parents. He mostly just toodles around on it for fun and appalls his Vulcan classmates with his banjo riffs.

As for Iskra's scar, it's the usual thing you'd see with being a child victim of annihilative mondicide.

The Power of Missteps: How Dance Teaches Us About Relationship Repair

In our years of working with couples, one truth stands out: relationships aren't about avoiding mistakes, they're about how we handle them when they happen.

Just like in partner dancing, stepping on toes is inevitable. It's not the misstep that defines the relationship; it's what happens next.

Here's what dance teaches us about handling relationship mishaps:

Acknowledge the Impact

Recognize when you've caused pain

Don't minimize your partner's experience

Stay present in the uncomfortable moment

BE Responsible, Don't Take Responsibility, Own It

No blame-shifting

Own your part

Drop the defenses

Express Genuine Remorse

Show empathy

Validate feelings

Make it about their hurt, not your guilt

Replace Hurt with Healing

Offer genuine repair attempts

Ask what they need

Follow through with changed behavior

Keep Dancing

Don't let fear of future mistakes hold you back

Use the experience to grow closer

Trust the process of learning together

At Couples Who Dance, we use dance as a modality to help partners practice these skills in real-time. There's something powerful about learning to recover from physical missteps that translates beautifully into emotional repair.

Remember: A perfect dance isn't one without mistakes, it's one where both partners know how to recover and keep moving forward together. It's okay to step on each other's toes sometimes. It's part of learning the dance, so acknowledge the hurt caused and replace it with love.👣❤️

The Next Step

Are you ready to choreograph a stronger, more harmonious relationship? We invite you to join us. Our book, "...And So, We Dance," dives deep into these concepts, providing practical exercises and insights to help you and your partner move together in perfect rhythm.

We also offer workshops and retreats where you can experience the transformative power of dance firsthand. Whether you're dealing with communication challenges or simply want to deepen your connection, we're here to guide you through the beautiful dance of partnership. You can visit our website or contact us directly for more information.

Remember, a great relationship, like a great dance, requires practice, patience, and a willingness to move together. Are you ready to take the lead in transforming your partnership? Take our Relationship Check-In Survey

Let's connect and discuss how you can bring more rhythm and harmony into your relationship!

Move Together, Grow Together.

We are so happy to see the turn up of dancers in a big number to attend #lindyhop and #swingdance workshops at Gulu youth center. As today is our last day in Gulu. We are calling all dancers to come in much time and also invite more girls to take part on today's class as we are going to focus more on #lindyhop which requires us to dance with partners. As you had requested me as Okurut George to talk more about dance opportunities and what is needed as a dancer to be having, cause many have been dancing but they don't see any progress in their dancing. Let's keep time and we share more on that angle because we learn from each other always. #Kitgum District will be our next stop so if you are there just get ready for us. @blacklindyhf @bluemarbleday @frankiemanningfoundation @pacificswingdance @camphollywood @littlebigswingcamp @lia_mar_7 @bad_ass_jazz_festival @herrangdancecamp @savoycup_official @anduze_jazz #gulu #peacedanceproject #SwingDanceUganda #Ugandaswingkids #lindyhop #lindyhopper #lindyhoplife #1920sjazz #1930sjazz #swingout #solojazzpower #SoloJazz #swingdancing #swingdancer #swingdancefestival #swingdance #laswingers #blacklindyhoppersfund #frannkiemanning (at Gulu, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxpKkKIED-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
