<p>Does it matter?!? Hey, if he's a good dancer, is there ever anything bad about that?</p>
<p>what about break dancers? hot?</p>
<p>Or Michael Flatly, lord of the dance? haha</p>
<p>Yesss! Girls love guys that Ballroom dance! Have you ever heard of the TV show, 'So You Think You Can Dance'? Benji was so good and entertaining.</p>
<p>The thing is, when are you ever going to ballroom dance? In clubs? Parties?</p>
<p>However, I see ballroom dancing as something every dude should at least know how to do, much like cooking. You will rarely do it, but if you can, at the right moment, its one of those little things that ladies like. (I hope, haha)</p>
<p>Until then, i'll stick with my breakdancing thank you very much.</p>
<p>breakdancing is more attractive and impressive to me than ballroom.</p>
<p>just for the record, i was obsessed with "so you think you can dance" too, as i previously stated. dmitry=russian sexiness...and he was a ballroom dance. but he was also hot and tall and not gay looking...unlike benji.</p>
<p>Russians...they make me happy :)</p>
<p>Remember Artem?</p>
<p>::drooooooool::</p>
<p>^yes. a tiny bit metro...but not enough to turn me off. haha.</p>
<p>Is there a Russian mail-order husband service? Or is that just for Russian wives?</p>
<p>Yes, if you can do it well.</p>
<p>My girlfriends and I are all into ballroom dancing, and we're always lamenting the lack of guys...especially ones that have a sense of rhythm.</p>
<p>so you girls wouldnt be freaked out if you saw a kind of shy, nerdy guy taking a ballroom dance class by himself?</p>
<p>I recently became a ballroom dance addict after watching my college freshman son in a ballroom dance competition that he had to participate in as part of a ballroom dance class he took to help meet his phys ed requirement.</p>
<p>Any guy who can dance – even if he looks like a toad – will be a chick magnet. Where I get my lessons, there really is a guy who looks like a toad, but can dance like a dream, and all of the women – including the gorgeous ones – vie to dance with him.</p>
<p>One of my friends – who is stunning, personable, etc. – is happily married to a quintessential nerd. For instance, at a recent gathering, he told me about a book that he read that was about toilets. They met on the dance floor. He adores her. She adores him – because, in part, he can dance, and she views him as being romantic. </p>
<p>In ballroom dance classes, you learn swing, merenge, tango, salsa – that you can use in clubs now - not just old fashioned dances like waltzes. </p>
<p>Where I take my lessons, there are 2 (heterosexual) couples who are teachers and recent college grads from the party school in my city. Ballroom dancing is what brought them together. They also compete.</p>
<p>Too many straight guys don’t realize that activities that some guys look askance at because they seem “gay” – acting, singing, dancing – are activities that are magnets for women. Few things are more attractive than a straight guy who can dance.</p>
<p>As for guys who compete in ballroom dancing – that’s terrific. Girls vie to be their partners. S got to have 3 different partners at the last ballroom dance competition he was in because there weren’t enough guys to go around and the girls had complained about having to always dance with girls. I also heard from some of the girls that they had been vying to dance with him during the first competition, in which everyone just got one partner, and S’s partner was the girl who had the smarts to sit next to him on the day that they had to choose partners.</p>
<p>Any guy who’s willing to compete in ballroom dancing will have his pick of partners. Trust me, the women aren’t scoping out the guys to see if they are strange. The women are looking for partners including romantic ones.</p>
<p>One last thing: The secrets to being known as a good dancer if you’re a guy is to – have the guts to get on the dance floor (the most important secret), and make the woman look good by looking at her, smiling at her, and doing moves that she’s able to do (i.e. don’t show off by dancing above her level).</p>
<p>Exactly how I sort of met my first boyfriend- at a salsa dancing lesson! Seriously, it’s just SOOOO hot. When he taught me how to dance, I just sort of fell for him.</p>
<p>So yes, if you can dance, you earn points with me. I love Dancing with the Stars… It’s so rare to find men who are actually gentlemen enough to learn how to dance. To me, I don’t see it in any other way like being gay. If anything, straight men NEED to learn from gay men. Ever wonder why women are attracted to gay men?!</p>
<p>oh katho11- I agree. Where’s the mail order for a Russian husband? :)</p>
<p>Interesting. I’m a very big swing dancer, especially Lindy Hop and some blues but I know a tad of ballroom.</p>
<p>Kind of off topic, but what style do you guys like more, jazz or hip-hop?</p>
<p>My father in law, although older, goes on FREE cruises as a dance host. He dances a couples hours a night when the ship is at sea and everything else is free. What a great perk just cause you know how to dance.
He’s been to Europe, Caribbean, Panama canal, South America and Antarctica, the Mediterranian, etc.</p>
<p>I like the Latin dances, like merengue and bachata. I’m really only passable at salsa, but I’m working on it. I know foxtrot, waltz, swing, and cha cha but swing is the only one of those I like at all. </p>
<p>I love dancing–it’s really fun. I think any guy I’d be dating would have to know how, or at the very least be willing to learn. Not that I’m biased against the non-dancers, it’s just something I really enjoy and something I’d like to be able to share with a romantic partner.</p>
<p>Being able to dance is definitely an attractive quality in a guy. It doesn’t really matter what kind of dance-it could be ballroom waltz, salsa, merengue, club dancing, break dancing, swing, whatever. A guy who is willing to dance shows that he’s 1) either not afraid of looking like a fool, 2) has confidence, or 3) has actual skills. All are quite awesome in my book</p>
<p>People ask me “how do you dance?” Umm…the best way to dance is to pretend you know how!</p>
<pre><code> -my 2 cents

<p>It’s interesting to hear all the people who say being able to ballroom dance is “gay/metro”. The attitude at my school is quite different: If you haven’t learned social/ballroom dance, you haven’t fully experienced the university! This is probably because we have one of the best instructors in the world, and he’s adored by all of his students.</p>
