Keep asking! The bloke who said that by saying "let's dance" rather than "would you like to dance" is right... as a female dancer, I would more likely dance with someone who did this.

On a bit of a different note, there are some women out there who are more confident dancing in the clubs than in the social dancing after the lessons. There is some pressure there after the classes to do your very best dancing... and quite a few people dancing to their limit.. so as a dancer with a little less experience, I find it daunting.... I'm sure I'm not the only one!

The guys I tend to reject in the clubs are those that have been leering on the edge of the floor, who have no obvious sense of rhythm and ... yes, smell. Staring directly at my boobs when asking also does not help!

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?
