It's the music !
Yesterday I was playing a CD of ME music when my pal dropped around for a chat, so not to be rude, I turned the music down, so it was there, but not obtrusive to conversation. What was interesting for me to see, was my pal was swaying from side to side, swaying hips. Although we were just chatting, his subconscious had obviously picked up the music and his body was responding to it, he was doing vague belly dance moves.
I made my pal aware of what he was doing, and he replied, ' yes, the music is good, it just feels natural and nice to move to '. My pal is not a dancer, in fact he is very self conscious and the thought of attending a dance class where the majority are female, would having running screaming for the hills, like no way.
Just to make it clear here, my pal is straight but open minded. I also am straight but open minded, we have a friendship where we totally trust each other and help each other where and when we can. When my pal has a worry with his relationship, I get to know and offer another view. His girlfriend knows he talks with me, but she knows and trusts me. When I have the black dog, he helps me. I have the ability to be very analytical, it is one of my strengths and I can analyse both thought and feeling.
So, whether this dance is masculine or feminine, a combination of the two or something completely different, I believe it is the music which defines the movement we do, that which we call dance.
