Meanwhile, the faster tempo feels right to me because it's flirtier. I
first learned it on the slower tempo and it seemed downright corny at
that speed.
It's never felt like it should be a passionate dance to me. Playing
"hard to get" -- the whole leaving your partner (and maybe even flirting
with other dancers on the floor) thing -- doesn't seem at all like
passion to me.
