Do You Wanna Dance?

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!

I'll throw a couple more to the list (my personal favs):
Foxtrot
West Coast Swing

Thanks for everyone for filling in the gaps... would edit the Poll but don't see a way to do so.

i would love to learn some ballroom dancing.
Ms Snap and I could cut a rug....

She would be super sexy doing the Argentine Tango.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

paso , samba, merenge......

Yes, I'd also add merengue, foxtrot and cha-cha.

As for the comments about square dancing, if there's a gay and lesbian square dance group in your area, go and check it out. This is not your gym class square dancing - it's square dancing after a bunch of gay men have gotten hold it of and made it their own! FUN, fun fun, so much fun that even a lot of straight square dancers come to some of the bigger dances and say that they'r just a lot more fun than what they normally do. It's definitely something a butch or femme would be comfortable doing, you do NOT need a partner, and did I mention it's just fun? A great social community as well.

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.

I love square dancing. it's fun to spin in circles and swing each other around.
