Recently, I met someone.
From the moment I saw him, I felt drawn in. Attracted.
And when we danced for the first time… I think I really let myself go.

I was lucky, I guess… because it turns out he liked me too.
That dance became the beginning of a beautiful connection between us.

But that’s not always the case.

There have been other times in my life where I danced with someone I liked, and that someone didn’t feel the same way.
And that’s where things get more complicated.

Because dancing is a conversation.
And like any conversation, it can be deep, light, flirty, intimate… even sexual.
And that’s not the problem.
The problem is context.

In my opinion, there’s nothing wrong with sexual energy in dance, as long as it makes sense for both people and the context you are both immersed in. Not every partner is open to that kind of dialogue.
Not every moment is the right one.
Not every space is made for that kind of expression.

It’s so important to be aware of the signals we’re sending and receiving.
If we want to enjoy the sensual side of dance (especially with someone we’re attracted to), we must remain sensitive, present, and respectful.
Because the goal is not to seduce, impress, or cross a line.
The goal is connection. And connection doesn’t happen through force; it happens through mutual energy.

So if you’ve ever found yourself dancing with someone you like (or crushing hard), here are a few things to keep in mind:

💡Tips for dancing with someone you like

1. Focus on the dance, not the fantasy.
Stay present. Don’t rush into the “what if”s or project desires that haven’t been invited yet.

2. Read the body, not just the steps.
Are they leaning in or pulling away? Are they relaxed or guarded? Pay attention to tension, breath, and distance.

3. Be sensual, not sexual
Sensuality is about connection, with yourself first and then with the other person; it is not about seduction. Let it build naturally, and respect if it doesn’t go there.

4. Keep your hands and frame respectful.
Avoid wandering hands or overly suggestive contact. When in doubt, keep it classy.

5. After the dance, let the vibe breathe.
Don’t assume that one intimate dance = romantic interest. Smile, thank them, and see what unfolds next.

6. If it is mutual, enjoy it with care.
Some of the most magical connections start on the dance floor. Just remember: respect keeps the magic alive.

Dancing with someone you’re attracted to can be powerful, beautiful… and yes, a little scary.
But with presence, awareness, and kindness, it doesn’t have to be awkward or uncomfortable.
It can simply be another form of expression, of being human.
