Great thread. I dance salsa too. Jamie, you should visit Houston. There are more guys than girls here. Hmm... Maybe I should visit your city instead since there are more women there. Although the lady dancers here are pretty good dancers.
To answer the OP. If you are a guy, ask a girl to dance. Dancing is the best icebreaker in the world. It's so perfect. When you ask a girl to dance, chances are that if she doesn't want to dance with you, because she avoids conflict, she's going to tell you that she doesn't know how or isn't good. She just opened herself up to a private dance lesson with you. All you have to say is, "it's ok. I can show you." bam! She can't say no.
If you are a girl, make yourself available. Position yourself by the dance floor and look like you want to dance. Don't take your drink. Don't talk to your friends. Some guys won't want to interrupt a conversation. If there's a specific guy you want to dance with, either ask him or position yourself near him and make yourself available and appear interested.  |
