I love couple dancing. When I lived in Memphis there was a gay square dance group, I loved learning to square dance then. Much better than in Elementary school. Regrettably, I have only had one partner that knew how to do several different couple dances. I also love watching a well paired couple.

For my birthday this year, I went to a queer tango "malanga," which is like a dancing party. It was sooo much fun dancing and learning the basics of tango! Once I'm back in Seattle and have a little more time on my hands, I'd like to go back and take some more lessons. Totally fun!

most of the dancing i know how to do is solo (ballet, lyrical, etc.) or grinding...but i love learning different versions of the hustle/shuffle
i'd love to learn some other kinds of partner dancing.

I was a competitive ballroom and Latin dancer for years, I also taught for a while.
Unfortunately my partner doesn't dance. Well, not on the dance floor.

If you live in Saskatchewan, you have country cousins. If you have country cousins, those cousins tend to get hitched. When those cousins get hitched (not to each other... mostly... you know...) they tend to have a wedding which features enough food to feed a small city and dancing which goes long into the night.
If you're not on your feet by the time the band strikes up or the DJ starts, your favourite uncle or cousin will be along soon to get you up for a waltz, two-step, polka (very common in my family), schottische or lindy. This is common enough that social dancing still features heavily in elementary and high school phys ed! When I was younger, my mother and I used to practice social dancing in the kitchen on Thursday nights when the oldies channel played dance music (probably for that sole purpose.) Both of my grandfathers and all of my uncles are strong leads but, being a tall girl, I had to learn to lead too! |

Sounds very much like my childhood being of German descent my grandparents had get togethers every weekend and dancing was at the fore front all the time, polka's, waltz's were learned at a young age, right after skating! :-) thanks for a lil trip down memory lane!

I think that is a key element missing in families today, being able to get together and make music and dance. Have some fun and bond. pajara "When I lived in Memphis there was a gay square dance group" I love square dancing. it's fun to spin in circles and swing each other around.
