Social/Partner Dancing? (swing, blues, tango etc.)
Is anyone else a social dancer? Like partner dancing?
I am getting back into swing dancing lately and I have picked up the blues dancing. Anyone else? |

Yes emphatically yes!
Great thread idea! Any suggestions for good way to learn - its difficult for Blu and I to get to classes? Any good videos? Examples to learn by? Enquiring minds want to know! ADG

I love partner dancing, I try to go out dancing as much as possible. It had been a few months since I had last gone, but I got some dance time this past weekend, salsa, and other tropical stuff.
I have danced Tango a few times but I am far from getting it right. I am considering classes after the holidays. I LOVE to dance! |

I used to be a hella two-stepper but have lost that. I would love to get back into it and other partner dancing. I really enjoy the synergy of it.
And I have to say that watching Artdeco and her partner, Blu, dance reminds me of what dancing should look like. |

I miss dancing so much...
Where do I sign?
 I can slow dance (who can't!!), and I do a mean salsa. But I will need lessons in all the others...I always wanted to learn how to dance Tango - it is my passion!

I took Tango lessons once and loved it!!! But I will readily admit that I am extremely not graceful and should not dance unless there is a pole, chair and/or lap nearby-lol.

I love that queer partner dancing has a large following in the Bay Area of CA. Great fun, great people.

I love to ballroom and partner dance and participate with local queer dances. I've spent the last few years learning and enjoy west coast swing, waltz, foxtrot, salsa, etc to list a few. I'm about to begin taking a second tango class.
