A few years ago, I picked up dancing again after many years of taking a break. I was surprised how happy and free it made me feel, in addition to the physical workout. Now I want to share that wonderful feeling with others.

I asked experts to share their best advice on how to dance. Anyone can do it, and no special shoes or skills are required except, of course, really great music. (Spotify tells me I’m having an “Indie Sleaze Strut Pop” moment, whatever that means.)

As you read this comic, follow each step and you’ll be moving and grooving in no time.

… until the pandemic. I was living with my parents … and I needed a way to get out of the house. Connie eats dinner with their parents, looking bored. They stare wistfully out a nearby window. So I started taking ballet classes at a local studio  and discovered a new love for something I’d only sort of liked as a teen. It felt good to express myself through movement when so much else in my life was restricted. Connie dances with other adults in class, all wearing face masks.
