When dancing

At dance lesson tonight our instructor Alex told us that America is the right place to be. Here in America they have pro-am which allows him to dance with his students. His friends who are in the Russian system don't dance anymore, they just teach. He says they are out of shape. It was an interesting compliment to the observation that I made that the American system, for all its faults is good in that in encourages amature interests. There are other places that are like that, but I agree we are fortunate not to be in the Russian system.
