Dancing in someone's arms is a perfect way of getting to know them because you actually get close enough to make conversation. Unlike discos, country night clubs don't play music so loud you can't hear yourself talk. The management knows that the more people get together the better the social atmosphere. And for a real buzz you can jump up and down like a kangaroo on a micro dance floor at a distance from your partner that makes romance almost impossible. Real dancing should be taught in schools like it used to be years ago because it is an essential factor of our social interaction.
Country music is exciting because it creates a mood for a dancer's rhythm.
From a slow Two Step to a rowdy Cotton-Eyed Joe there is always that contact with other dancers that makes it almost communal. The interesting part of country dancing is the variety. There is a dance for almost any speed and beat. This means that you don't have to keep up a fast pace all night. You can relax with a romantic waltz or try out your skills with a moderate Two Step.
