When was the last time that you actually just held each other close for more than a couple minutes?

The demands of life on you as a couple are urgent. Your marriage is important. The dance fellowship teaches couples valuable marriage principles while learning to ballroom dance together.  You will learn many fun dances, swing, waltz, cha-cha, rumba, foxtrot, salsa and others.  You will also learn how to apply biblical principles to your marriage in ways you never imagined:

Love and Respect

The role of the man in dance is to lovingly guide his wife in every step and pattern.  In ballroom dance the man is the leader, and his responsibility is to show off his wife (dancers call this presenting the woman), and to move as one. The woman in dance willingly follows the lead of the man knowing that he is thinking of her comfort, safety, and fun. (Check out Ephesians 5:23 and see how closely that matches.)

Communication

The man, as leader, learns to communicate his every wish clearly, firmly, and lovingly through the connection of the dance frame, he never manhandles or degrades his partner. The woman communicates her position, comfort, and often the timing of the music through the connection of the dance frame.  She never degrades or makes her partner feel stupid, and never takes the lead unless he guides into a step where he wants her to share the lead.

Roles and Responsibilities

The role of the man in dance is to lead and lead well, he expresses love through his leadership. The woman’s role is to enjoy his lead. This both looks and sounds like “submitting,” but dancers have learned  that even though the man leads and the woman follows, one would never consider him "better' or "superior" because he leads, nor would anyone conclude that she is anything but his complete equal simply because she follows.  This is what husbands and wives need to learn, submitting is not  degrading nor does it make the husband better than wife.

Make your marriage a priority.

We’ll show you how to make it fun. all you need to begin is a desire to spend some time in each other's arms!
