Dance Lessons with Robert

That's an easy question to answer: "People just like you!"
"I have never met a natural born dancer. All the dancers I know were trained." (quote) Fred Astaire.
So, who are dancer?
Everybody!
Dancers come from all walks of life and all professions. There is no prerequisite to become a Social Dancer.
The fun part of this diversification is, with all the differences and the one commonality, it makes for a lot of interesting conversations. Everyone is NOT just taking about dancing.
"You can really tell a dancer just by the way they walk."
Truthfully? No, but if a person has good posture, moves easily, maintains noticeable balance in their body movement it is obvious they do or have done something physical and the odds are it could have been dancing.
The matter of fact is that people who dance are more prone to pay attention to their physical well being and without a doubt it stands out. As with any commonality this attracts alike so, dancers attract dancer.
When I started taking dance lessons, as a student at Arthur Murray's, the "promise" claimed by dancing were such as: improved motor skills, more social popularity, maintain health and make new friend just to mention a few benefits. The fact is: I have done ALL these and even more than any list of benefits I could find.
How do you meet new friends?
Actually, it's pretty easy! If you are at a dance, club or function with dancing all you have to do is ask, "May I have this dance, please?" (Don't forget the "PLEASE" part!)
If you are already a DANCE COUPLE when you see other couples, who also dance well, it take a lot of the pressure off approaching them and the introductions.
Dancing is the only and easiest activity/sport at which to meet other people. Have you ever tried meeting someone while careening down a ski slope or in the crowd at a sports event. Even the company Annual Office Party where you have always wanted to meet the certain person in another department. Dancing opens the "POSIBILITY DOOR."
Does it work 100%? In a word: NO! You may find that once you do meet "that person(s)" he/she/they are not someone you want to know. So, ONE DANCE a "Thank you" and nothing ventured and nothing lost!
The fact of the matter, it is the ONLY social function where you can safely meet other people.
The rest is up to you!
I married the one I met!
See you on the dance floor and thanks,
Alexandra & Robert
