dear diary,
i don't know what to do. it's one thing that so many of my dances have been fantastic. what's driving me nuts are the moments between songs. there isn't anything that i want to say. i just have this silly grin on my face. i can't even look at my partners, because i know i have this silly grin on my face, thus i look silly. i mean, we just shared a great moment, and now what do i say? "so tell me how are things?" or, "did you hear that piece on npr about oxytocin?" "isn't this a wonderful spring day?"
how do you go from sublime to chitchat??? ????????
so what happens? we dance. we separate. i have silly grin. i don't know what to say. i say whatever. and as quickly as i can, i return to the embrace.

My favorite solution? Maintain the embrace between songs. Just stand there and enjoy it until the music begins again. (Disclaimer: Not everyone will go for this.)
I'm with MT - I love this! love it love it love! Granted some followers don't - it's tricky. Look around and see if anyone else is doing it and how comfortable that follower looks.
Although, I've been in many, many "do we both have silly grins on our faces" moments that were absolutely priceless. Fits of giggling usually followed, but I liked that too.
@MT and Mari, yes. But as you say, not everyone goes for it.

I do maintain the embrace when there is simply no other way for me to express how I feel, and it is clear that my partner feels the same way.
I don't usually talk between songs. It will break the mood. If I feel my partner really into it, I will keep the embrace/hug, savouring the moment until next song.
