Seeking a Dance Partner: Food for Thought
Iâ??ve been a dance enthusiast for over three years now.
Fairly early in the game, I noticed that it helped to have a partner (my then girlfriend declined me when I asked her to join with me). I had naturally developed some guidelines that I was using. They werenâ??t rules it was just some ideas on how I could decide where to spend my efforts.
Hereâ??s what I was using:
-They attend lessons.
-They practice regularly.
-They provide contact information
-Healthy lifestyle (no smoking etc.)
-Good physical agility.
So more of these elements were present, the more chance I would want to dance and partner with them. In terms of promoting myself, to other dancers, I met the above elements as well as I could. Further, I did a few extra things:
-I situated myself near the dance floor in venues.
-I used contact information from above to book lesson partners and practice partners.
-I kept dance activities platonic. Not just because I was dating. At times when I was broken off in my relationship, I was concerned about sustainability of the fun of dance hobby and the happiness that it brought me.
I told some people about this and they thought it was too systematic. I didnâ??t find that at all. In fact, choosing a non smoker over a smoker or a person I was more familiar with because of attendance was almost automatic.
This actually served me very well and my partners and I thrived and had a lot of fun. Darcy
