Some Ideas for Dancing Dates

A dancing date is exactly what it sounds like. You take your lady out for an evening of dancing. Of course, you want to be careful about how you set up the date. You don't want her dancing off with some other guy.

Here are a few ground rules for dancing dates:

• Eat a light but filling dinner
• Drink only a very little alcohol
• Check out the venue a week before you take your date there
• Be ready to visit 2 clubs, in case one is not working for you

You want to make sure that you spend a little time with your date before you go dancing. Dinner is a good idea because you'll both need to stock up on energy. But don't eat a heavy meal. You don't want any accidents on the dance floor.

It's a date but don't plan on getting drunk. Drunk dancers are rude and they can spoil the fun for everyone else. Worse, if you're out there on the dance floor drunk as a skunk you don't have as much control as you may need. You could injure someone accidentally, or worse you might irritate someone who starts a fight with you.

You're taking a big chance if you take a date to a dance club you have never seen before. It's better to get some friends together and check out a new place. Many dance clubs offer free dance lessons before the evening gets started so until you have made the rounds enough to know which clubs are good, be careful about where you take a date.

Even the best clubs can have slow nights. Unless you and your lady want some private time on the dance floor you may need to say "hasta la vista" to the first club and head toward another.

Of course, if you and your partner have been together for a while you'll have a routine worked out. These tips are for guys who are just starting to date someone new, and who may be new the local dance scene.

Dancing dates are fun and exciting. They are also a good way to break the ice because you don't have to worry about always making conversation. If your partner is an inexperienced dancer you'll have an opportunity to teach her a few basic moves, and that will help you both decide how much you like each other's close company.

When you're browsing dating Websites looking for romance, it always helps to be able to say that you can dance and that you enjoy going to local clubs. Don't be too specific -- be a little mysterious. Besides, you never know if the ladies you connect with decide to check you out first if they know what clubs you visit. They could see you on an "off" night (or with another date) and pass.

Getting together with local dancing meetup groups is another way to put yourself out there. Single ladies might just be joining some of these groups to find good dance partners. Even if they are not looking for love, they may have friends they'll want to introduce you to.

Some ballroom dancing studios set up dance nights where their students can practice in a relaxed, club-like atmosphere. These are sometimes great events to meet people -- but they may also be great places to take a date who is not comfortable dancing in a full club.

You can split your evening between dancing and taking in some other form of entertainment, like a movie or a play. Just remember not to invest too much effort in a first date because if you get the second date you'll have to do something fun and interesting for that, too. Dancing dates are a great source of social fun and romantic entertainment. If you plan them right you can enjoy them for years to come, even long after you're married to Mrs. Right.
