with dancing?” I replied.

“Though we don’t do full lifts

since they’re not allowed in this

type of competition, if a man has

the strength to effortlessly lift his

partner, he can do slight ones and

make the dance look more fluid

and graceful.”

“That is where the problem

arises,” I replied. “I am not the

slightest bit graceful.”

almost angry. “That's where

you’re wrong, and that's an attitude

you need to lose. You could be if

you would believe in yourself. But

in a sense, that’s what gives you

the third advantage.”
