Take salsa classes

[TheGambino]

I'm a dancer.

I went to salsa classes for the first time ever.

A lot of different girls are there. Everyone is pretty much the same and you can dance with any girl. It's a unwritten rule (for inexperienced guys) that girls don't reject men that aproach a girl for a dance at salsa classes. You can easily build a sexual tension with a lady at the classes and build rapport and comfort which could lead to a date afterwards.

Also I think girls that like salsa are more sexual then other girls. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to find a spot where you can easily hit on the ladies and the inexperienced guys who want to get more comfort around the girls.

In my city there are several salsa nights next to the classes at saturday where it's a open party for anyone who wants to come and dance. And the same thing goes on, everyone dances with different partners and it's all good.

I had a great night and got about 5 phone numbers. Im going to make a hobby out of it and go every week so I could rock the dancefloor at the big salsa events this summer !!

Women LOVE a man who can move; a man who can lead; a man who can dance. Its just plain sexy. It gives a man great confidence and teaches him how to lead an interaction through dance, and this is a great thing.

You can also learn which women know how to follow, which can translate off the dance floor and into life.

Dancing lessons and dance night is the only spot I meet girls in my scarcity life.

Dancing will give you great insight on the personality of your partners. Good way to early screen

I've been interested in pursuing this. Does it matter if I have no experience dancing?

Everyone has to start somewhere

Dancing is totally learnable. Some people pick it up faster than others, but pretty much anybody can learn it.

If you see some students in a beginner class that seem a little TOO good (or picking it up unusually fast), don't worry. Experienced dancers repeat classes a lot for practice, so they might not actually be beginners. But you will have some real beginners in the same boat as you in your class. Have fun and keep practicing.

Better yet. I get to put women in their place when they don't follow and there's no social repurcussions!

It is a really useful skill to learn how to do this. I found tango a little easier for me since it's somewhat more structured but I am currently taking salsa lessons.

I go to a place that does lessons every Thursday, followed by some time to just freely dance, with only a 5 dollar cover fee to get in. It starts off with the beginner classes, followed by the intermediate (the advanced ones need to be booked). You just show up and the gay instructor guy shows the group some basic moves, and eventually you start trying them with a lady, and rotate partners every two minutes or so. It's really fast-paced, though, with some of the 'spinning' moves not really well explained, and clearly the instructor doesn't really care much about each person getting something out of it or really learning (which makes sense as they're not individual lessons).

Anyway, I've learned that most of the people there are already intermediate or higher level, but for some reason still do the beginner classes. But a lot of the women, instead of being friendly, welcoming, understanding, and helpful to total beginners, instead get kind of impatient if you can't keep up with them or just mess up a lot. Lot of Latina women. Maybe they see a guy without dance skills as just beta and unattractive. Until I'm actually paired with them there's lots of IOI's and looks from across the room, but while we're paired up for the actual dance, they start getting sorta uncomfortable, probably because I'm either somewhat clunky and uncoordinated with my moves or, realizing this, display a lack of confidence and certitude, though I sometimes self-deprecatingly joke about it. A few of them gave me some useful pointers but many of them just kind of awkwardly say well nice meeting you and move on, and look like they're having more fun with the next guy who knows what they're doing (even if that guy is only 5'5" or 60 years old).

I have gotten better over a month, but I could've used a place that's more welcoming for true beginners in this style of dance. Or do it with people that I already know. Definitely sticking with it though; it'll pay off in due time.

This is typical when someone is treating classes as sport. They goal is to get better, not to find partner, so they prefer better dancers over better boyfriends.

Give it six months. Spend 3-5 hrs a week in classes. Use multiple instructors classes if you have to. Your skill will raise.
