I've taken ballroom dance lessons, I have to admit it was alot of fun and I'm glad I did... I'm single so I didn't have a parnter, I just showed up... normally they'll team you up with an instructor at first, then when they have their mixers you'll dance with several women... I'd definitely recommend it, you'll enjoy yourself...The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GiaKrembs 0 #4 April 19, 2006 I have not, but have always wanted to as well... The Casino in Catalina has a HUGE ballroom dance party for New Years Eve and it's something I've dreamed of doing each year (just need to find a partner who is interested). If you take lessons let me know how it goes. g Raddest ho this side of Jersey #1 - rest in peace brother Beth lost her cherry and I missed it .... you want access to it, but you don't want to break it.

sunshine 2 #9 April 20, 2006 I would love to take ballroom dance lessons. If i had a willing partner 'round here, i would do it!! ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yamtx73 0 #10 April 20, 2006 You don't need a partner... find a nearby ballroom dance studio and drop in for a visit.. they'll be more than happy to teach you... when they have their weekly (usually weekly) mixer you'll have plenty of dance partners... Edited to add... since nobody seems to care I'll just STFU now...The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #15 April 20, 2006 I took country/western dancing with a girlfriend of mine a few years ago. It was really to teach her to freak'n dance, I've been doing the 2-step, 1/2 step, polka and waltz for most of my life. It was definately better after she learned how to dance and how to follow. Oh, country/western dancing is NOT f'n line dancing. Line dancing is what wanna be yankees do. Period. There are obviously only a couple of exceptions, including the Cotton Eyed Joe.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

wmw999 2,589 #19 April 20, 2006 Yep. It was fun, and, well, now I can dance. Even though I haven't in awhile, I could at least not embarrass myself with the majority of the steps. Particularly if I count to myself . Conversing while dancing is an advanced maneuver. Go try it. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Smilie 0 #22 April 20, 2006 Hello, lol, take the classes! I used to teach ballroom, swing and latin. As a guy you will get more attention than you know what to do with! Here's the thing, 1) the ratio is almost always at least 2 ladies for every guy... 2) When going out, you can ask any woman to dance, (if you are a decent dancer) and not only will she dance with you, her date will thank you for getting him out of it! 3) it is fun, single or with your SO 4) Great workout... ... Fear not death. Fear instead the unlived life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flygirl1 0 #23 April 20, 2006 I took Salsa lessons last year. I just decided I wanted to do it one day so I looked up a places in to go in Santa Cruz on my computer and showed up to one of there group lessons that friday. I went by my self and it seemed that more than half the people there did the same. It was a lot of fun. There is usually a relatively even mix of guys and girls there so everyone has a partner. I made a lot of friends and a group of us would meet up and go dancing together. I really miss it and can't waite to get back to it when my shoulder heals.Fly like a girl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ACMESkydiver 0 #24 April 20, 2006 I was forced to take dance when I was on a high school flag team (y'know, spin the pretty flags around and wiggle at the football half-time show?). We learned these pep dance routines and I thought it was lame, but I was actually pretty good at it.~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
