Dancing; The Social Aspect

Over on another dance message board that I use there is a section on single people and dancing and thought I'd share my post there over here:

I am single, but I'm not into dancing for the purpose of meeting a prospective mate though the potential is definitely there.

I think the social setting of Ballroom dancing is unique in that it is equally fair to those who are shy as it is to the more outgoing and it does not favor the more physically attractive over those who are less do. You sell yourself by how well you dance or by your willingness to learn. At least this has been my impression in all the time I've been dancing.

"Wherever you go, you represent the team. You will talk like, you will look like and you will act like the most dignified professional in your hometown" - Vince Lombardi to his players.

Back to the top!

This is a good post that got lost in the shuffle!

Definitely agree with you Ghostdancer. I find too that it doesn't seem to matter how Tom Cruise-like you look or any of that stuff, but more on the order of can you be a gentleman and lead a lady through, at the very least a fun dance. I think, from my perspective as a guy, most women will really encourage you and compliment you for trying (had this happen many times. Once, a woman actually asked me to Tango, and that's not a dance I indulge in very often at all. But she said, "No problem, just enjoy, do your basic steps" In a minute or two, I felt a surge of confidence come over me. I got to lead her through a Hustle later which she really loved!)

Dancing is without a doubt, a great confidence builder, as well it should be. I get ticked at pwople who think they're better than everyone else and think you aren't good enough to spend a few moments on the dance floor with.

Social Dancing is about SOCIALIZING, CONNECTING and BEFRIENDING.

I am single too, but I don't go dancing with the intent of meeting someone at all, though the potential may exist. I dance out of love for dancing itself, the exercise and the social interaction. Case closed for me.
