I started dancing bachata sensual recently and I am noticing how it motivates me to lift more, so that pretty girls can put their hands on my muscles

>>76356694 (OP)
I am a woman and I would literally rather eat glass than dance with you.

Been invited a few times to salsa classes by a girl friend of mine. Struggle to find time at the moment but it's something that seems really fun and a good way to meet new people. I love the music too.
Hopefully soon I can actually manage to make it to one. It's something I've been wanting to do for years.
Apart from that. I can and do dance. but, terribly.

>>76356712
no you're not

>>76356719
it is really fun, but the barrier of entry is pretty steep for men, as you are required to perform several task at once (hitting the beat, leading and executing figures).

>>76356694 (OP)
>being this close to a woman
that thought leaves me panic stricken

I would like to try, but there are salsa classes at my gym and only people attending these are post-40 women and fat old dudes hoping to score.
Place next to me also hosts dances and it's full of grannies and fat old dudes hoping to score.

>>76356743
I don't know if it is a global thing, but at least where I live, salsa used to be really popular like 10 years ago but the scene has died down since.

>>76356694 (OP)
No, I'm extremely scared of intimacy.

They taught us to swing dance in gym class in my western state high school, and that was actually fun. I've been able to swing dance at a few "country" bars and with a few girlfriends, but it doesn't seem all that popular even in the west.

>>76356809
Going out of your comfort zone and doing things you're scared of is great for self-improvement

>>76356726
Yeah I can imagine. Although where I live I see lots of south American, double digit iq men dancing salsa and the like all the time. So I feel to get the foundation can't be too hard. Or am I wrong?
I can do basic footwork but nothing spectacular and due to a music background I'm able to keep rhythm fairly well.

>>76356726
What? Is there entry exam? I thought it is like: "pay money and have fun"

There is not a single woman under the age of 35 attending salsa classes.

>>76356916
you don't need high iq for hitting the beat for example

>>76357042
Become the milfhunter you've always wanted to be.

>>76356919
The way is usually works at dance parties, is that woman become desirable by being hot, while men become desirable by being good dancers.
Though starting out as a man is pretty tough.

>>76356916
I managed to break in with no previous musical background and it was really tough for me, though I think it would be easier for you if you can already hear the beat.
Also, I assume you are dancing Cuban Salsa in South America (in circle, rather than in line), right? I think it is a bit more forgiving.

>>76356712
Yeah but you’re not a real woman

>>76356712
real women have all their eggs in 1 basket

>dance thread
>it's about pair dancing
breaking and house for me, lindy hop is the only acceptable pair dance

For me, it's (country) swing.

>>76356719
my college crush invited me to do ballroom dance with her, but I refused, because I didn't want her to think I was into her and one of her orbiters

>>76356712
>I am a woman
stopped reading right the fuck there

>>76356694 (OP)
I dance a tiny bit. Swing and salsa.
I went to a swing concert once. A woman asked to dance with me there. Made my then-girlfriend mad that I said yes and danced with her.
I taught a girl some steps a few weeks ago. Made her heart race.
I recommend learning to dance.

Dancing is cool

>>76358717
Is this how life was like in the great before? It looks like it was filmed long ago

>>76356694 (OP)
No. Dancing is for fags

>>76356694 (OP)
Alright guys o I'm dancing right? Having a blast and all that, and then suddenly a girl starts dancing next to me. What the fuck am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to like match her moves? Keep dancing? I'm not gonna lie, I started slowdancing with one of them hoes once like an autist, it wasn't even a slow dance song. Like what the FUCK am I supposed to do?

>>76356712
Women are not this funny.

>>76356694 (OP)
i used to... i should really get back into it desu, my body felt much better when i did dance+yoga
maybe ballet or something

>>76356694 (OP)
I do malambo which is a traditional Argentine dance. Pretty good cardio desu, songs are usually long and you're basically kicking the floor rhythmically and doing jumps and shit. You need good ankle mobility too cause some of the moves involve jumping or supporting your bodyweight on the outside of your foot (I twisted my ankle a couple times, it sucks)
As a bonus I get to dress like a cool renegade cowboy.
This is what it looks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7c4gkUZ9VM8

>>76356712
I only dance with women who have ovaries. Fuck off

>>76356712
Ywbaw but fpbp.

>>76358717
so wholesome webm

I’ve never danced in my entire life. Never attended a school dance. Never went to prom. Never danced at a party, or bar, or wedding. Imagine being this pathetic

>>76359426
yes this was life before all the social media, was so easy to get a cute gf any incel/chud could do it pretty much

>>76360034
>tfw old enough to remember pre 2008 as a kid but adult life has been total dogshit
Just the fact that everyone in that video is a normal weight is insane. This isn't getting into no tats or any shit like that. Man.

>>76359464
I dunno about your specific dance bro, but it's like communication. Establish eye contact with her, try to match her moves, or see if she matches yours. If she engages with you, she is interested, if not, then not

>>76360026
you can start now, anon

bump

>>76356712
Nobody cares how you identify

>>76358717
What did she mean by this

>>76360026
I danced once. I went to a dance class with my ex. I didn't enjoy it.

>>76358717
Its from a movie

>>76360965
I think she likes him

>>76361338
what makes you think that?

>>76360026
Same. I just don't get it, people who dance seem mentally ill to me. I "feel" music, but not dance, to me they're just random movements that don't make sense and look stupid. I want to join a breakdance class to learn the acrobatic powermoves though.

>>76358717
she dances like that with every guy in the room

>>76362812
Is that what you like to tell yourself?

>>76362866
It's a pretty valid cope
We don't know the situation since this is clearly an archeological excavation into the ancient past

>>76362615
>I "feel" music, but not dance, to me they're just random movements that don't make sense and look stupid.
For example, if you watch this video, can you tell how the dancers (especially the follower) are using body movements to emphasise certain instruments?

Hey loser, I’ve also been dancing bachata for about 2 years if you’re going to bachaturo or CSBF I’ll be there if you wanna mog euro-poors and avoid eye contact

Too all the other losers, do some kind of dance and be social instead of wasting your youth on the internet

>>76362615
powerheads without musicality are laughed at by the bboy community so don't bother
