 Many people dance in their own space, and others share their space with another.  To engage in a dance with someone, use sensitivity:  Are they open to sharing their space with me?  Mirror movements, offer a hand, brush by, make eye contact, and see & feel how they respond...

 If you'd rather not dance with someone, or are ending a dance with someone,  simply thank them by placing your hands in prayer at your heart.  "Namaste... Thank You. My Spirit Recognizes Yours"
