What makes a ball perfect? Nat King Cole's "More" among others

All this new music is nice - sometimes. But let me give you another reason for real ballroom dancing: Nat King Cole's "More". While dancing a Slow Foxtrott on "More" you can enjoy real passion. I just love this song and the Slow Foxtrott - its great understatement and its powerful swings, the smoothness with which you touch or better fonlde the floor with your feet while moving two bodies in synch seemingly weightless through the room. It is just awesome to enjoy the feeling as if you hover. Or if you want to flirt and play, there is the Rumba or ChaChaCha with your feet on the ground.

I guess that is what I always have in mind, when I buy tickets for balls. If I switched on the rational part of my brain it would tell me before that there will be no perfect ball for the lack of an appropriate and trained partner, the lack of appropriate dance music, and the lack of a good floor.
