You love dancing? You want to be fitness and grace combined? You look for a partner that can move their body? Then perhaps this strategy is for you.

Here is the strategy:

  • Partner dancing comes in many flavours: Standard, Latin, Swing, Salsa, Tango, Rock n'Roll and Disco fox. Some Schools offer mixed courses if you're unsure what you like.
  • The ideal school you are looking for doesn't require you to sign up with a partner and during lessons will have periodic partner change breaks so that you can dance with every partner in the room
  • Dance courses span several weeks and you can slowly and without any presure get to know all the regulars
  • While dancing with your dance partner, you get a feel for their body language and can gauge if there is potential erotic chemistry between the two of you
  • Many schools have either an in-lesson break or an after-mingle you can use to chat and get to know some of the dance partners, and without the elephant of dating in the middle of the room, you can meet potential partners in a more natural way
  • Even if no man is to your tastes in the group, you've not entirely lost the time but invested into your fitness and body coordination

But be aware of this snares:

  • As always, people with similar tastes and preferences will be drawn to similar activities. If you come to the conclusion that you neither like the atmosphere and nor many of the regulars, trying another school might help or you might be better served looking for a partner in a different activity altogether
  • Be mindful of the overly flirty womanizers. They'll likely turn to another woman if they don't succeed quickly with you.
  • Practice makes perfect. If you haven't danced in a long while or are completely new to it, take your time to get the movements down and the feel for the rythm. Dancing is not only a sport but also an art form so be patient with yourself and allow your body and mind it's time to grow in it
  • The dancing hobby has a women's surplus of two women to one man. Yes you are outnumbered and perhaps have to be on a waiting list for a little while. But you can also meet some potential new female friends that enjoy dancing just like you do.
