Default Sorry bout the broken one.

When the foot heals, get up and dance! Two lefties usually means "I'm so anxious I can't hear the music!"

I have an opposite issue where my wife hates to dance and I enjoy it.

I am not particularly good but can hold my own. However the wife will not let me dance with any other women at a gathering.

Now I just go for the food...

Ladies/Girls tend to like to dance and to be noticed.
Men/Boys tend to not like to dance because they think they will be noticed.

Thanks, I enjoyed that ........... but, the big guy is the dancer, he had some cool moves.

Seriously, in our case it is the degeneration of joints which has brought my husband's dancing to an end, and he was a superb dancer. He was also a exceptional athlete, so may be the pounding on his joints is the result of his early years.

There are some very talented men who line dance .............

For me personally i have two left feet and no rythem. I think women just naturally have more rythem. most men would rather sit and listen to the music and have a drink and dance 1 slow one.

No, not true, men have rhythm. It's like anything else, some do some don't. I've seen women that move like Elaine on "Seinfeld", and I've seen men who move like Fred Astaire. What about Patrick Swayze (oozing sex appeal) in Dirty Dancing, Antonio Banderas, John Travolta .......... and on and on. Men have rhythm, it's finding one here in TV that's the problem.

I can dance after the 2nd gin and tonic, or at least think I can!
I figure if the lady isn't too embarrassed to be seen with me then it's OK by me to embarrass myself.
I wish I had taken lessons and do like slow dancing.

Nope. Just take the lessons they require. Get onto the court and play. We will find you. Ask the single ladies that play!

Lots of lessons are available. Too bad only the beginner singles ballroom class encourages changing partners. That's the very best way to learn.
go for it!
