As a gentleman, I sense you fear for your good lady wifes bunions…?
Don’t! If the poor thing is convinced that ‘Old Swivel Hips’ Cockburn still has the stuff… let her carry on thinking so!
Let’s face it,,, the old shocker is no spring chicken, why deny her a few last delusions??? be kind old man!
Anyway…. how’s that little Persian strumpet you have tucked away in that flat in Bermondsey?

It’s such a shame that in Western culture there’s such fear attached to dancing. The truth is, anyone can dance – anyone – and it’s not so long ago that everyone did. It’s only really in the 20th century that dancing (and singing) started to shift from being something everyone did for fun to something you went to the theatre to watch, and everyone got scared of it.
It would be unhelpful to say ‘oh, just go and have fun’ or ‘just don’t be scared’, because you *are* scared, and you can’t just wish that away. But you don’t want to disappoint Mrs Cockburn either, or miss the chance to discover a rewarding new passion. I don’t recommend you just go dancing, because if you’re scared you probably won’t have much fun and it’ll put you off. How about instead you go for a dance lesson together? You can sell this alternative by pointing out that one embarrassing dance in public may put you off dancing for life, wheras baby steps in a friendly class may start a lifelong passion.
I highly recommend Argentine tango. It’s not like ballroom dances where you have to learn a lot of steps and wear a face like a constipated goat. It’s a very natural dance, and if you find a good class, you can learn the basics in five minutes and be dancing by the end of the evening, because at it’s heart tango is just a walking hug. Of course, you can spend years and years getting ‘good’, if you choose, but the point is you can *start dancing* straight away.
That’s only the cae if you find a *good* class, though. Here’s how to tell. If your teachers separate man from woman and make them learn separate steps, then put you back together, that’s a BAD class. If they try to teach you a thing called the ’8-count basic’, which is a simple sequence of steps that lazy teachers use to avoid actually teaching, that’s a BAD class. What you’re looking for is a teacher who will start by explaining the basic principle of leading and following, and have you experimenting with it straight away. That’s when it’s fun.
I hope you go, and hope you enjoy it. Dance is uniquely rewarding, and in my considerable experience, tango is uniquely rewarding among dances. It creates an incredible feeling of connection, with your partner, with the music, with yourself. At it’s best, it can genuinely be better than sex.
