So, my question is, how do I ease him into learning to dance? Any advice on how to get him willing to learn...or just dance any old way? Should I just call it a losing battle? He's quite willing to humor me but that's not what I really want. I'd like him to actually enjoy it.
Before I moved here I thought I would have to learn to line dance because that is what I saw on the video. I don't line dance and never have and a lot of people don't. I wouldn't push him. It's supposed to be fun and if he isn't having fun then ....what's the point of it?
