Daphne was my Latin dance partner some days. We were predictably short on men in the class so she took the lead. Daphne was a few inches taller than me in simple flats, her body slim but not without curves. She had long, unexceptional brown hair and quiet, confident facial features. What gave her her irresistible charm was her cool, slender, wonderfully decisive hands. She understood how to lead a partner seemingly effortlessly, applying exactly the right amount of pressure to guide but not push. She danced with a kind of calm enjoyment that didn't preclude the perception of passion from the perspective of onlookers. She was the most beautiful caballero in Madrid.
