Subject: How do I get women to dance?

Try going to a different club. The atmosphere in clubs varies a lot. I have found that in some places I always got a dance when I asked, others there are lots of refusals. I avoid going back to places where refusals are too frequent (I find also that in those places even some of the girls that do get up and dance can be no fun to dance with).

I find that there is something that the girls that are more likely to get up and dance do with their mouths that gives you a clue. They kind of turn the corners up and sometimes even show their teeth

The key thing is to pick someone that is friendly to start with, and smile yourself. Then other girls that see you dancing will think you are a good person to dance with, because you and your partner both look happy. You will have to be quick, because all the friendly girls will be dancing most of the time.

As for girls asking you to dance, it mostly happens to better dancers, but I find that in friendly places the occasional girl will ask me, if I am hanging about near the dance floor looking like I fancy a dance.

I've been learning to dance for a year now (learning salsa and leroc). At my dance lessons, women always dance with me when I ask them. Same at leroc clubs. But when I go to salsa clubs, I get turned down by lots of women and only a few will dance with me. Some men never seem to get turned down and some even get asked to dance by women. Is there something different about salsa? What do I need to do to get women to dance with me? Women what makes you decide whether to accept or reject a dance? Men how do you decide which women to ask to dance so you don't get turned down?
