This has been triggered by Dworkin's post on Sunshine's 'Pubs and Clubs' thread here.
Dworkin wrote about being pestered by a bloke on the dance floor, to the extent that she needed backup from her friends to make him desist. Basically, that man harassed her; he was wrong; if it hadn't been for her friends, she'd have been in a pickle. Which is one thing, and a whole significant issue by itself.
But, for some reason, her post transported me back to my five years in sunny Brazil. The dynamic is so different, and yet so similar. Dance is massive to the culture. The style of dance is, even with contemporary club music, proscribed by generations of moves & music.
I'm not sure how to write what I want to express - any other Lat-Am feminists care to contribute? (Will continue in next post.)
