Social/Partner Dancing? (swing, blues, tango etc.)

Stitch · 10-25-2011, 05:57 AM

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!

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.

It means being able to say, with Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre: "I have an inward treasure born with me, which can keep me alive if all the extraneous delights should be withheld or offered only at a price I cannot afford to give. Responsibility to yourself means that you don't fall for shallow and easy solutions--predigested books and ideas...marrying early as an escape from real decisions, getting pregnant as an evasion of already existing problems. It means that you refuse to sell your talents and aspirations short...and this, in turn, means resisting the forces in society which say that women should be nice, play safe, have low professional expectations, drown in love and forget about work, live through others, and stay in the places assigned to us. It means that we insist on a life of meaningful work, insist that work be as meaningful as love and friendship in our lives. It means, therefore, the courage to be "different"...The difference between a life lived actively, and a life of passive drifting and dispersal of energies, is an immense difference. Once we begin to feel committed to our lives, responsible to ourselves, we can never again be satisfied with the old, passive way." Adrienne Rich
