Four Followers You’ve Danced With

The Sorry

Racked with guilt, this follower will usually start the dance by standing still looking you dead in the eyeballs before saying “sorry, I’m not very good”.

Sorry!

I often wonder what happened the last time they danced? I suspect it was in some kind of militant salsa boot-camp where they where berated daily by some kind of drill sergeant. 

Or maybe they are here utterly against their will? Who knows. But what ever it is, they are sorry about it.

The Dictator

With the strength and courage gained via one to many cosmos this follower will embark on a one-person coup d’état for control of the choreography.

She may proceed to bark commands:

Now, spin me!
Catch Me!

You smile, you ride it out. She says she came with her friend. You recognize her from your last dance.

Her friend shrugs meekly as she mouths:

Sorry!

The Poker Player

You ever danced with someone who looked like…

.. this?

I’m talking about this for the whole three minutes. You wonder if she’s bored, offended or maybe a robot sent from the future.

I’m pretty sure I haven’t done anything wrong, but I feel sorry anyway.

The Invisible Partner

Always hilarious, always available and there to balance any offsets in the man/woman ration during classes.

I solid, dependable dancer who follows every move. She disregards any mistake, sloppy lead and even contorts to overcome any limitations imposed by physics or human anatomy.

She never talks back, and never expects a drink.

Main drawback however, is she’s not much of a talker. Plus she can draw some odd looks at socials. Especially when you try to introduce her.
