Although lessons are a good way to meet people, students can also sign up for the lessons with a partner. Because dancing is a physical form of communication, partners figure out the next step by reading signals from each other. The gestures to lead and follow are very slight. When partners work together and read signals properly, the result is beautiful, Bennett said. Although there are usually more women than men at the lessons, each student will have an opportunity to dance with someone.
Dancing is an excellent way to attract women.
The majority of students who sign up for the lessons have little or no ballroom dancing experience and the only prerequisite is a willingness to learn, Saunders said. Dancing, because it can look so beautiful or exotic, looks hard. It doesn't have to be hard. We're not training people to be performers. Dancing is casual and something people can do for pure fun.
