Sean again, I agree with almost everything that you have posted on that other thread Carol, except the part above. In order to dance, men (and women) must be in the moment. There is no possibility of past or future, only the continuous now. If a man is thinking, then he is not listening, not to the music, not to his partner, and not to the rest of the dancers. Plans are fantasies about what might happen if one could control the universe. But a dancer has no control over the other dancers, his partner, or even his own reaction to the music. The dance is a spontaneous response to these stimuli. If he has a plan, then he will try to live that fantasy, rather than expressing the reality of the moment. I think that is why good dancers don't care much about the style wars. Most likely, other dancers will interfere with whatever plans you might have. But it is much less likely that they will interfere with your dancing.
