Learning to Dance 

Arthur: You know that you’ve taken on an impossible task, right? 

Martha: Teaching you to dance? I’m sure you’re selling yourself short. 

Arthur: No, really, I have two left feet. I’m completely uncoordinated and have no sense of rhythm. I’m just not cut out for dancing. 

Martha: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We’ll just start by loosening up and swaying to the music. You don’t even need to swing your hips¹ yet. 

Arthur: That’s good, because I don’t think I can learn even the simplest dance steps. 

Martha: Not only will I teach you some useful dance steps, we’ll put together a dance routine down the line. 

Arthur: That seems like a pipe dream to me. 

Martha: Nonsense. Before long, dancing to you will be as effortless as breathing. 

Arthur: But until then, I’ll look and feel like a dancing hippo!
