Take the Lead! Men and Ballroom Dancing…

Guys, you KNOW that practically every woman loves a guy that can dance, right? Why not BE that guy that can sweep her off of her feet? Well, the main reason that guys don’t embrace dancing is because it’s quite intimidating. All of those quick spins and dips make dancing seem impossible for the everyday man. The good news is that dancing is actually a very logical, step-by-step process (no pun intended). You don’t need to “feel” the music, men, and get caught up in a Cinderella ballroom dance fantasy, to shine on the dance floor. What it takes is knowing what you are doing and repeating that over and over again until you own the material on the dance floor. Whether you want to lean to Country Two Step or to dance the Salsa,  the techniques of partner dancing are the same. What is missing beyond the dance steps, in most cases, is also something that comes with time…confidence. Without confidence, guys can learn the dance steps, but won’t actually go out and use them. That’s counter-productive to say the least! Here are a few tips for guys that will help to build reassurance that you CAN learn to dance and do it well.

1.Guys, you are in charge on the dance floor. Many of you who have been longing to be in charge somewhere now have a chance to “be the man”. Take your lady out for a few Latin or Swing dance lessons here in Phoenix and let your instructor show you how to lead. Don’t be afraid to take charge on the dance floor-it’s your role and responsibility! When you know how to guild your gal, she will back off and let you lead. It’s a win/win because she can relax and enjoy the dance and you can decide what moves you want to do and when.

2. Now that you know that you are the leader, do your part. Follow through on your moves and do them with determination. Think of golfing, baseball or tennis when you dance. You can’t swing a golf club half way and expect the ball to go long distance, can you? When you are turning her, really turn her, don’t simply lift your arm and just expect her to go. By the same token, ripping her arms out of the socket is totally illegal. Make sure she knows where you want her to go, but work on executing your moves with finesse. Again, ballroom dance lessons will come in handy when learning to lead.

3.Be patient with yourself. Becoming a great Swing or Country dancer is a journey. You may not be an awesome leader in the first few months, but with time, it will happen. Enjoy the ride and don’t expect perfection instantly. In the meantime, you will surely win over the hearts of more than a few ladies as you try to learn to dance.
