Rotating Leadership in Long-Term Relationships: What Salsa & Tai Chi Teach Us About Love

In this episode of The Happiness Games for Romantic Relationships, we explore how couples can build deeper connection through rotating leadership — the natural exchange of leading, following, sensing, and responding in long-term relationships.

Using embodied examples from salsa dancing and Tai Chi (Taiji), I explain the four core functions of long-term relationships and how partners move through these roles with attunement and balance.

You’ll also learn a simple Tai Chi–inspired exercise, Yun Shou / Pushing Hands, to help you feel co-regulation, boundaries, and energetic flow in real time.

This episode brings practical wisdom from attachment theory, somatic psychology, and movement arts to help couples create harmony, flexibility, and secure connection.
