ragbag asked: is dancing, as usually conducted, compatible with a high standard of morality?

as someone who is a versatile and excellent dancer (swing, ballroom, modern, salsa, tango, lindy), and after dating a number of professional and amateur dancers (expanding my exposure to include exotic, burlesque, go-go, ballet, and jazz/tap), i would lean towards HAHAHA HELL NO.

devil’s pastime, etc. it’s a lusty and heady pursuit that beggars no chastity or personal restraint and yet its dark underbelly is more sinister still. its sole purpose is to recreate the synergy of intercourse and la petite mort, no matter how formal or refined.
