Slow Dance in the Kitchen
What you'll do
Put on three songs that mean something and dance — no audience, no skill needed.
- Choose a time with no hard stop afterward.
- Set the mood: lighting, music, phones away.
- Ask one question you've never asked each other.
- Linger — don't rush to the next thing.
