1. What is beautiful in Jewish religion...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (12.23.13)
is that everything that doesn't contradict Tora laws is allowed. And YES there is a deep connection between body and soul in Judaism.
2. The religious point of view:
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.23.13)
"... I just informed my wife that we were going –..."
3. What religion is this rabbi from?
Anon   (12.23.13)
certainly not Jewish. Do catholics also have rabbis?
4. I love to dance ...but:

As old GB Shaw wrote, "Dancing is a vertical expression of horizontal desires!"

"What is beautiful in Jewish religion... is that everything that doesn't contradict Tora laws is allowed" . Of course! thats why men engage in dance with the Tora in Simha Torah
6. 'youmust understand the man leads'
Joseph ,   NYC   (12.26.13)
If women must learn that the man leads, this ballroom dancing could be a big hit in the Hardi world! I'm old enough to remember a time when even daughters of Gedolim did ballet until a certain age. I used to ballroom dance with my widowed grandmother. I knew from an early age that I had to lead! Sadly my wife doesn't agree.

Akiva ,   NYC   (12.26.13)
In Jewish Law there's nothing wrong with a husband and wife dancing, unless the wife is niddah. A man and wife are allowed to have a vertical expression of horizontal desires towards eacvh other.
