The Great Equalizer
Dancing really is the great equalizer. Attractive guys get a lot of perks in life, but if he can’t dance, the homely guy will get the girl every time. Dancing is sexy, and if you do it well, it will transform you. The Savoy Ballroom in the 30s and 40s was the only integrated ballroom in the country. According to Frankie Manning, who practically lived in it at the time, movie stars used to watch the dancers. Nobody cared how famous you were, what color you were, or what you looked like. The only thing anyone cared about was “Can you dance?” That tradition holds true in dance communities today. Dance well, treat people kindly, and you have instant popularity.
