| Single dancers glided, hopped, and grapevined across
the dance floor in "line" dances or joined arms for the Cotton-Eyed Joe. Line
and circle dances still flourish. They allow single dancers to join the fun without
a partner and without equal numbers of men and women.
Although the popularity of "singles bars" peaked in the 1980s, they
are still meeting grounds for young adults and the newly single.
And social dancing continues to grow.
Social Dancing
Just what is social dancing?
- It's stepping in time to the beat of the music.
- It's an opportunity to flirt and mingle.
- It's an excuse to touch.
- It combines the romance of the ballroom dance, the friendliness
of the square dance, the informality of country and western dancing and the wild abandon
of the "bar scene."
It's still the best social meeting ground for singles.
Social dancing allows you to forget about your everyday problems
and focus on fun, flirting, and camaraderie.
As rhythmical body movements provide pleasure for the dancers,
dance bonuses include eye contact, body contact, smiling, laughing, body language, and
budding romances.
If you don't dance, most metropolitan areas provide ample places
to learn. One note of caution, however: If a company offering dance lessons will not quote
prices on the phone, you may be pressured to sign a high-priced contract when you show up
for your "free" lesson.
