All the time. I sometimes don't even realize I am doing it. It's my therapy and the way that I communicate best.
To forget my troubles and worries. It helps me get back to the present moment and after, I feel 100% better.
When a I feel connected to my partner, the music and choreography.Nothing makes me feel better.
