Website design By BotEap.comIn a dance community, asking someone to dance does not imply that you are interested in starting a relationship with that person. It simply means: “I would like to dance.” There are many couples who go to social dances or attend dance conventions together and rarely dance together. Couples, all dancers thank you for sharing your loved ones. We understand that “A dance is just a dance”.

I was showing up at my local socials 3-5 nights a week and I literally BEG the guys to dance with me. I didn’t know that dance classes were available, so I was at the mercy of anyone who would help me.

One night he fell asleep watching Shrek, if any of you have children and have seen the movie he will know exactly what I am going to tell him. At the end of the movie, the burrito jumps up and says over and over, “Pick me up, pick me up.” I was too tired to get out of bed and turn it off, so all night I heard, “Pick me up.” , pick me”!!! The next night at the dance, my hand flew in the air and the words just came out of my mouth: “Pick me, pick me!!!” From that day forward, I never sat at the In fact, when I finally learned to dance, all I needed was one “Pick Me” a night and I rarely left the dance floor.

So dancers, feel free to use my mantra and ask them to “choose you.” Don’t be afraid to ask someone to dance and if you must turn someone down, do so politely saying no

See where the dancers enter and leave the floor and remember that they are there to dance, just like you. I know it’s often hard to ask a dancer who has more experience than you, but if you really want to become a better dancer, you’ll have to be brave and do it! In hindsight, if you’re a more experienced dancer, try to “remember when” and occasionally ask a lower-level dancer to dance. Let’s all dance together and build a strong and healthy dance community.
