Dancing Queen Without a King | Teresa talks to Dana Spade

Send us Fan MailDo men and women still dance with each other? I don't mean on celebrity dance-offs or bouncing up and down as a group at a concert.  I mean in each other's arms, cheek to cheek... or at the very least facing one another.In the 1990's I wrote a column bemoaning the fact that my then-husband had dismissed the idea of joining me to learn to tango, samba, waltz and cha-cha.Would I ever find that man who would clasp my hand in his, place his other hand in the small of my back and glide me round a dance floor? I did - in what would then have been described as a "gay" bar - and his name was Job, but it might just as well have been Fred (Astaire) or Gene (Kelly) or Ginger (Rogers).Join me and my guest, former litigator, prosecutor and now retired judge, Dana Spade for a conversation that explores the etiquette of straight women in queer bars, the advent of tick tock and the effect of technology on socialization. Dana who met her husband on an Aikido mat, shares about that martial art as a dance of self-defense, and we talk about the importance of creating environments today where young people can go a bit wild and still feel safe.#teresanorton  #theviewfromabroadpodcast #hongkong #portugal #humor #journal #truestories #changingworld #selfreflection #socialnorms #growth
