Why Learn to Dance With Your Partner?
Learning to dance with your significant other has several benefits. First of all, it’s a great date idea if you and your partner have touch as your love language. After all, you’ll always have your hands on each other and be in constant physical proximity. What’s more, dancing as a couple allows you to renew your passion and feel connected to your partner. When dancing as a couple, you and your partner will need to be in constant coordination, communicating through eye contact or gestures.
Dancing as a couple also allows you to see your partner in a different light, which can be very attractive. For example, when learning to dance, a man will learn to move in a more confident, strong, and controlled way while a woman will learn how to dance more sensually, gracefully, and smoothly. Last but not least, dancing as a couple is a great exercise that gets you moving and takes the stress out of your daily life. You’ll also have the chance to meet new friends (if you decide to go social dancing) and you’ll have the time of your life by moving to the rhythm of the most romantic songs.
1. Choose a Dance Style
There are many different types of partner dance. The most popular types are salsa, tango, waltz, bachata, samba, merengue, rumba, swing and foxtrot. Go to Youtube and watch videos showing examples of dancing for each type, and choose the one whose movements and music you like best.
2. Learn It
Once you and your significant other have chosen a dance style that interests you both, look for a class near you. Don’t be afraid of your level. Many dance classes are beginner-friendly. To find a class, a quick Google search with the name of your town and the name of the dance style that interests you and your partner is all you need. You can also look for events or groups on Facebook or on the Meetup website.
If you and your significant other like to enjoy the comfort of your own home and don’t want to spend money on an activity you haven’t tried yet, you can always learn to dance using a laptop and watching free lessons on Youtube. The great thing about YouTube is that you can rewind the video if you don’t quite understand a move the first time. While you’re at it, open a bottle of wine to add to the fun in your living room!
