          "A dance is a measured pace, as a verse is a measured speech."
                              -FRANCIS BACON

Hi,

I am a guy who wants to learn how to dance well.  I'm interested in
basic, traditional ballroom dances (waltz, tango, samba, merengue,
jitterbug, and all that sort of stuff) as well as other forms.
I'm just a beginner at all this, though.

The rest of the message is long but the upshot is that I want to find a
nice woman who will be my steady dance partner.

          "Not to go back, is somewhat to advance,
           And men must walk at least before they dance."
                              -ALEXANDER POPE (to Lord Bolingbroke)

I can walk.  I am also 24 years old, 5'11", 150lbs, patient,
and nice (not nec. in that order.)  It would be great if you were also
interested in dancing, but had little experience since we could learn
each dance together.  It would also be great if you were an expert and
wouldn't mind teaching me everything.  It might even be great if you
were somewhere in between.
          "As those move easiest who have learn'd to dance .
           'Tis not enough no harshness gives offence,
           The sound must seem an echo to the sense ."
                              -A. POPE again

Moving easier is one reason for my interest in dancing.  I think it's
cool the way good ballroom dancers carry themselves around the floor.
I was suprised when my swimming coach advised me to dance because the
grace, smoothness, and discipline would improve my stroke (no lie!)
The point is:  I'm motivated to learn this sort of dance.

          "There's threesome reels, there's foursome reels,
           There's hornpipes and strathspeys, man,
           But the ae best dance e'er cam to the Land"
                              -ROBERT  BURNS

I've been taking an informal country/western dance class where I
learned the Texas two-step, El Paso, Flying Eights, and seen many
line and reel dances (real foot-stomping, "he-haw" stuff!)   Many of
these dances have equivalent forms in ballroom, I'm told.  It's really
a lot of fun!

          "O body swayed to music, O brightening glance,
           How can we know the dancer from the dance ?"
                              -W.B. YEATS

It will take a lot of practice before I'm that good.  I work days and
study and do other stuff at nights and on weekends, but I figure I
have plenty of time to practice dancing.  Also--I live in Northern NJ
(near Madison)  From what I understand, there are tons of places
(studios, bars, etc) to go dancing in the area.

          "On with the dance! let joy be unconfined;
           No sleep till morn, when Youth and Pleasure meet
           To chase the glowing Hours with flying feet.
                              -LORD BYRON

I am also single.  I think it would be really neat if I were to find
someone and have a relationship that extended beyond the dance floor.
But... for starters, I'm interested in dancing.

          "A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
           a time to mourn, and a time to dance..."
                              -ECCLESIASTES

So, if you are a nice lady who might be interested in this, write back
to me.  I'll try to answer any questions you might have.
Peace,

P.S.  I'm not nearly as literary as this message makes me out to be.
