A man who can carry himself on the dance floor is very attractive (to me at least).


I agree with that. With the right partner, I think it could be fun.



I voted the second option.

Another reason why I miss the big city.


I still know some basic waltz steps that I've employed at the odd wedding reception. At least with ballroom dancing there's more room on the dance floor. I like the slower tempo, too. I'm really not into dancing to music that's at about 160 bpm.

I took ballroom dancing lessons once, so I did learn the tango. However, I don't generally go ballroom dancing, so I've forgotten how. If you don't use it, you lose it.

Wanna go out on a date? I'm English. I know how to make tea and scones...

Put on your tux, comb your hair, brush your teeth and I'll pick you up at eight. :lol:

You have to look like Sean Connery though.



Seriously Mike, take some lessons, no joke. Great way to meet other ladies and it's a skill you might have to use one day. It's like one of those great things you can surprisingly pull out of your pocket (DONT GO THERE I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING!!!!) that impresses some women. You end up being a well rounded person. You can do your thing at a dance club and you can do your thing on a ballroom floor too.

You only think you've forgotten how.

It's a bit like swimming or riding a push bike, you never really forget.

I discovered that when we went to watch a local ballroom competition a few years back with my wife and daughter (they like the dresses and outfits) , and one of the ladies remembered me (from when I ballroom danced in the 70s and 80s) and dragged me onto the dance floor during some of the intermission brackets. I was surprized how much I actually remembered and didnlt do such a shabby job as her partner.
My wife wanted to learn latin and ballroom dances , and jive a few years ago so I went to regular beginners classes with her , but she really doesn't have coordination needed and she lost interest.

Yes Mike .... the ladies like a man who knows his stuff on the dance floor and knows how to treat a lady ..... Never had a problem getting ladies (and when I was younger - girls) to dance with.

It's also a great icebreaker , you can actually talk with them when dancing with them.

She's right. Women love to dance. Almost every woman I have ever met. When the wife and I took lessons, the women outnumbered the men there about 2 to 1. Great way to meet women Captain Welsby. :brow:

Eight? Blimey, that's hardly enough time to get ready! ;) Seriously though, next time you're over here, i'll come and find you wherever you may be in the country and we'll go dancing. :lol:

Certainly is .... nearly every single girlfriend I had , except the ones I met through my little sisters (and even then they liked dancing) , including my wife , I met at a formal dancing , either square , barn or ballroom dance club.

Nothing but tarts at bars , pubs and nightclubs , and the music is too loud there anyway.

I have also been told church groups are a good venue to meet ladies (and in CPA and Welsby's cases girls), and uni is good place too.
