I was thinking of making the same thread. I would actually consider taking classes myself. Because dancing is something that I really dislike doing, but if your good at it it makes such a big difference. and it would be a good challenge and would build the confidence.
I hate when I feel like a tool on the dance floor when trying to move up to girls...it's such a mood dampner. But I guess they appreciate the effort no matter how bad you are
Thing is, I enjoy dancing when I'm in my room listening to my own music and there's no one around. But when I'm in a club I usually dont like the music that much and find it hard to get in the mood. But I guess for guys dancing is just like trying to learn any other monotonous skill...it serves a purpose and if you are concerned enough about reaching that purpose, you should learn the skill.
A sub-topic of this thread should address those situations when you really don't feel like dancing but the girl does. What is best to do? Hang around the bar and make idle chit chat with other girls? Wait patiently on the sideline and greet her when she's done having fun? (My instinct says no to this one). Make your excuses with some other objective that means your not available to dance (ie, go and say hi to a 'friend' you've been meaning to say hi to all night)?
