I'd personally recommend taking salsa classes. It's a lot of kino and goofing around with girls, and you learn a dance that let's you practice your leading / dominant skills and something simple enough to learn a girl in 5 minutes.

Salsa is good! But strangely the numbers I got from salsa class were all flakes. Dunno why, because everybody liked dancing with me :)

Anytime of ballroom dancing. In most of these the guy not only leads but has to control which direction both you and the girl are dancing WITHOUT talking and only body movement and arm placement. I recommend starting with waltz because it is easy to learn and easy to teach to girls.

Depends which Waltz you're referring to. If you're talking about an English Waltz, then I'd say: Basic steps are ok, but it requires a lot of training to make it look good. If you're referring to the classical Vienna Waltz, then no. That dance is permanently turning and switching direction, throwing most people off in extreme dizzyness really quick.

I've danced ballroom / latin for 10 years now, with a 3 year break, and I've done some salsa. If you wanna show off some quick moves, salsa is the way to go. If you want to learn to do a bit more dancing that actually looks really good, go for ballroom / latin.

True, but you don't need to master it to have fun with it and teach other girls which I've actually done when girls learned I knew ballroom dancing. Vienna Waltz is hard, I tried a year of it but you can't just do a Vienna Waltz with anyone only other people trained in it.

TBH I've tried a lot of ballroom dances but not really salsa, would you say its your favorite?

I don't think you getting flaked on has anything to do with Salsa but more to do with your game than anything else.
Haha, probably true ;) I was just so surprised because at the class they seemed super interested and dancing really close, and were eager to give their numbers... I also made sure none saw me taking the number of another... well nevermind hehe
