There are also video tapes and Internet programs that will teach you to dance. Don't worry, though, if you don't get time to practice before you sail. You can have fun together learning new steps. Many ships offer dance lessons on board, so you can take lessons and try out what you've learned all in the same trip. Being single doesn't prevent you from dancing at sea.
Many cruise ships feature a dance host program.
Several companies such as the Gentlemen Host Program and Ballroom Dancing Without Partners provide pre-screened, skilled dancers for ships. Tour companies that specialize in dance-themed trips also sometimes provide dance hosts as part of their tour package. Onboard dance facilities vary greatly among ships. As noted above, some of the classic liners like the Norway and the QE2 cater to ballroom dance lovers. They both have good dance floors and great dance music.
