So You Think You Can Dance?

Dancing is one of my personal hobbies that I enjoy doing all the time. I took Swing lessons and had female friends teach me how to bump and grind. My mother always said I had rhythm, which makes it even easier to pick up new moves. It annoys me when I go out to bars playing Top 40, R & B, Rap, and Techno that do not contain a dance floor.

Over the years, I have realized that there are not many men who share the same interests in dancing. During my college days, I ran around with one guy to the two dance spots in town. We used to approach groups of two or three women on the dance floor by asking them to dance or just jumping into their circles. It usually worked well in getting numbers, earning a make-out session, or just having fun for a night. None of my other male friends had any interest in dancing or even stepping foot into a dance bar. Many of them thought they were not good and would embarrass themselves.

I strongly believe that learning how to dance in a social setting is an important talent to possess. It is a great way to impress a woman, get her in a more intimate situation, and even make a move. You don’t have to take Salsa or Ballroom lessons to impress women unless they play that kind of music in the bars and dance clubs you frequent. My advice is to go out with a female or two and have them teach you how to follow their leads for different genres of music. I also recommend taking a basic dance class such as Swing or Salsa to learn some general footwork and moves that would impress people anywhere.
