Learn swing first it opens the doors to other types of dance, and you can use swing at most dances and parties and have everyone awed. Take the ballroom later on. I'm sure it can't hurt to have both dancing skills.

Personally, I'd consider any or several of the Latin dances. Not only can many of the movement be integrated into other dance styles, I have yet to meet a woman who didn't appreciate a man who could dance the Salsa!
 

Never try to read a woman's mind. It is a scary place. Ignore her confusing signals and mixed messages. Assume she is interested in you and act accordingly.

What's the difference?
Which is more impressive, really, is what matters.

Salsa, Merengue, Cha Cha, Mambo, Samba, Rumba, Bolero, Mambo, Paso Doble, Tango, Milonga, the list goes on and on. For clubbing I suggest Salsa and Samba, for something sexy with a partner the Merengue and Tango. If you just want to show off, the Gato. Knowing more than one is definitely advantageous. :up:

Where do you dance tango? OR even cha-cha for that matter?

Just learn salsa - it's the easiest or them all, and it's the only one that's actually danced.

You might as well know waltz and quckstep, but if you're not on a competition, you're never gonna apply it for picking up ladies.

I've taken some Swing and I've been told by an instructor that Swing can be incorporated into Salsa.

Nah, I wouldn't learn just the Salsa, everyone who knows Latin dance knows Salsa and nothing else. Don't want to be a one trick pony, mix it up a bit and really stand out.
