Dating Advice. How to Meet Attractive Singles. An Alternative to Internet Dating

Are you tired of internet dating? Do you live in a big city? One of the best ways to meet new singles in a large city is to take group dance lessons. Even if you're not a dancer or even interested in dancing, you might love this best kept dating secret. Here's why.

1. Group Dance Lessons Are Attended By Many Singles And Very Popular.

Ballroom dancing is very popular these days. In Phoenix where I live, there are several dance teachers that regularly host group dance lessons. This may not be the case in smaller cities. But in Phoenix, you'll find several excellent places to dance and take group dance lessons. Dancing will also be popular in Chicago, New York, and other big cities. Do some research and see if group dance lessons are available in your area.

2. No Partner? No Problem!

Group lessons are ideal for singles. Private lessons aren't. With private dance lessons, who will you practice with afterwards? Yes you can practice with your dance teacher but that can get pretty expensive. Dancing is all about training your body to move automatically without much thought. This means that you need to practice often. With group lessons you'll have many people to practice with after the lessons.
With group dance lessons, people take turns dancing with one another, usually every couple minutes. This means that if you take an hour dance lesson, you can meet a lot of people of the opposite sex.

3. No Rejection.

Have you ever asked anyone to dance when you were at a nightclub or bar? How does it feel when they say no? If you're a man, it can get discouraging especially if it happens several times in a row. With dancing rejection is a rarity. It would only happen if someone really didn't like you because of a bad past experience. As long as you are polite, respectful, and friendly, it's rare for someone to say no. They don't have a choice. At a group dance lesson if you refuse to dance with someone, you'll have no one to dance with until partners rotate again.

4. Group Dance Lessons Are Inexpensive!

Dating can be expensive. Not so with group dance lessons. Private lessons can be $60/hour and more. Group lessons are low cost!. In Phoenix you can get one or two hours of dance lessons, - for as low as $5. This might also include s refreshments, food, and practice time after your lessons. One huge nightclub actually offers free dance lessons twice a week and no cover charge if you arrive early for the lesson!

5. Stop Meeting Alcoholics. Dancers Are Not Drinkers.

Dancers are generally not drinkers. Dance studios don't have a licence to serve alcohol and dancers find that alcohol impairs their ability to dance. The exception would be dance lessons at a nightclub, but even then most dancers don't drink or they'll drink in moderation. If you meet someone you're attracted to at a dance studio, you can feel more comfortable that they are being themselves and not in an altered state of mind. i.e. drunk.

5. Meet Singles - Any Age.

In the past most dancers were over 50. Thanks to dancing with the stars, and other developments, that's not true anymore. Structured ballroom dancing is truly all ages. At group lessons, you'll find singles of all ages whether you're a teenager, a college student, middle aged, or older.

6. After The Dance Lessons, Ask Any Man Or Woman To Dance.

It's perfectly ok for women to ask men to dance. You'll see this all the time at dance studios. And as I mentioned before, it's rare for a guy to be rejected by a woman. If they say no, it's usually because they need a break .They'll usually ask you to dance later. Or perhaps they're a beginner just like you and are just watching. It's not the same kind of rejection you'll get at a bar or nightclub. There's rarely a personal reason why someone won't dance with you.

7. What If I Don't Like To Dance? Why Should I Take Group Lessons?

Many singles take group dance lessons even if they don't like to dance. If you're guy, you're going to love what you see. You'll find very attractive women, dressed up like barbie dolls. And if you're a woman you'll find good looking and respectful men.
Also at beginner dance lessons almost everyone is like you. All the beginners don't know how to dance. So you have something in common with everyone right away. If you don't want to dance after the lessons it's ok. A lot of beginners just sit and watch the experienced dancers after the lessons. It's an excellent opportunity to sit down beside someone you're attracted to and start a conversation.

And lastly you might like dancing after a while, or at least the social aspect. You'll miss the people if you stop dancing. Not only that but you'll meet some very nice singles that you're attracted to. Over time you'll become friends and you'll look forward to seeing them again at the next dance.
As far as dating goes, what great way to meet singles and start a new relationship. Dancing can bring a couple together and keep them together for a lifetime.

Important Things To Remember.

Not all dancers are single. Many of them are married or already in a relationship. Sometimes this is not obvious at dance studios because everyone dances with everyone. Don't be discouraged. Many are single and available, but some aren't. The wise thing to do is ask about their relationship status first before you suggest that someone go on a date with you.
Of course if you're shy about asking, you can always observe people you're interested in. You'll see the same faces over and over again. Over a period of a few weeks you'll quickly get to know who's available.

Whether you're man or a woman you can feel comfortable about attending group lessons alone in a big city such as Phoenix. You'll be dancing with many people and even after one evening you'll make new friendships. At group dance lessons and dance studios, you're never alone. You're always surrounded by friendly, outgoing people who love to dance and care about you. It's an inexpensive social opportunity to meet quality singles and a refreshing alternative to internet dating.
