There you are at your favorite Country bar waiting to be asked to dance… again. You look great, you’re near the dance floor making eye contact with any guy that is paying attention, and you’re still sitting out instead of Two Stepping the night away! What’s up with that!? Chances are, it’s not you, it’s him.

Even though the stigma of guys knowing how to/liking to dance are long gone (for the most part), there is a lot of fear for men surrounding dance. From being intimidated to thinking they will “look stupid” (I hear this one a lot!), tons of guys are scared to take that step onto the dance floor. Let’s explore why…

Back in the day, it was “uncool” with the guys if you went out there for a Country Two Step or Swing dance. Depending on where you live an how well accepted it is to social dance in your area, some men just can’t get over the idea that dancing really is great to know how to do well-especially for a guy. I mean, if you’re looking to impress your friends, learn to social dance. The ladies will be lining up to dance with you and your buddies will surely be jealous. Not only will you know all the exciting moves to sweep her off her feet, but your friends will want to know them too! A man than can dance is extra-attractive, and every guy should know that so he can come out from the shadows and have some fun!
After getting over that initial fear of dancing not being acceptable to his buddies, a man faces the next mental hurdle which is “Latin dancing (for example) is too complicated. There’s no way I could ever do that!”. They figure that Salsa dancing or Country Western dancing is so far out of their element that they will never look good doing it, so why start. As much as they want to learn, they get cold feet when it comes to signing up for adult dance lessons. What a shame! With specific instruction, especially in Private Dance Lessons, any man (or woman) can learn to dance. Guys, don’t let fear stand in your way of learning an incredible new skill. It is so worth it to know how to dance!

Chandler Arizona Country dance lessonsAre you looking to improve your odds of meeting someone special, having more fun and staying fit through the holidays? Then you need to get started with social dance lessons today! Guys, the simple equation looks like this: man+knows how to dance=all of the above+more! Now you may not think that knowing how to Country dance or Latin dance can have such an impact on your life. Believe me, after creating thousands of confident social dancers over the last 20 years, I can say with assurance that dancing opens doors, lots of them. Need more “math” as proof? Ok, here you go!

  1. Men, you are 64% more likely to attract a hot girl if you can dance. Alright, I just made up this statistic, but the fact is that women are very much attracted to a guy who can dance. First, Swing dancing or Salsa dancing is our chance to get swept off of our feet, so if you’re a great lead, it’s a very exciting thing! We sort of feel like Cinderella, and that’s not only relaxing, but it makes us feel pretty and elegant. Also, we women tend to relate what you can do on the dance floor to other areas of a relationship. If you’ve got the moves, we think it’s sexy and that’s never a bad thing, right? Men who take the time to invest in themselves with social ballroom dance lessons are not just giving to themselves, they are learning a hobby that helps them to connect with the ladies on a more intimate level, and even look cool amongst their friends.
  2. Your buddies are 80% more likely to be jealous of you if you know how to social dance. Yes, another made up stat, but guys, come on, it’s so true! If you’re sitting on the sidelines with a beer while your friend is twirling around the ladies who are smiling from ear to ear, who wishes they could be who? Be the envy of your friends, make those girls happy and have a blast Country dancing, Salsa dancing or Swing dancing-each dance is as fun as the next!
  3. You will burn up to 500 calories in an hour’s time! Now this is a fact. If you’re looking to slim down, Two Step your way into a healthier you by dancing for 8-10 songs straight. The time will fly by and you’ll be getting in shape without even realizing it! Dancing+fun=great physical results! Now that’s something you can take to the bank!
