Subject: How do I get women to dance?

Have to agree with what Pres is saying here.

The key thing (in most places) is the quality of your dancing. You need to be able to dance well technically (in time with a good lead) and with good style. The style gets you noticed in the first place and makes it easier to get those first dances. Your technique is what gets you further dances with that woman (and her friends - if she enjoys her dance with you, she'll tell her friends - if she hates her dance with you, she'll tell her friends).

Pres is also spot on about the clubs. There are "friendly" clubs and "cliquey" clubs. Sometimes, becoming a "regular" at a club will make it much easier to get dances. For example, some clubs seem to be cliquey because there are a lot of men on the pull at them. The women who are there for dancing will tend to turn down any man they don't know, because they think the man's interests are more concerned with dancing of a horizontal nature than of a vertical nature. Once these women see that you do really want to dance (because you've become a bit of a regular at the club), they will be more likely to dance with you.

Cheers,
