If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking to learn ballroom dancing as a new hobby or perhaps pushed into enrolling in a dance center here in Duluth by your mother, wife, or girlfriend and are trying to find some motivation. Here’s one secret to enjoying ballroom dancing as a man: clear your mind of stereotypes. It turns out that learning ballroom dancing is one way of becoming the ultimate lady’s man.

Sweep her off her feet

Ballroom dancing has always been associated with romance. If you’ve ever watched one of those movies about nobility, you’d notice that men who dance the most get the most ladies. This is because by the time you offer your hands to your partner, invite her into your arms, and stare into her eyes, you create intimacy. By taking the lead and being confident yet gentle, you make her feel protected so she can take pleasure in dancing. In fact, you’ll demonstrate chivalry through ballroom dancing, which even the most strong-headed of women would find attractive in a man (think Antonio Banderas, Patrick Swayze, and Richard Gere).

Wallflower no more

Were you afraid to ask Jane to go with you during prom because you didn’t know how to dance? By learning the ins and outs of ballroom dancing, you will no longer have to content yourself watching from the sidelines and drinking whisky while the others are having fun. You’ll now be more comfortable at any event that involves dancing like corporate parties, weddings, and many others. You can also expand your social circle and create more important connections.

Groovy kind of workout

Ballroom dancing is essentially an exercise too, although not the kind you’d categorize as one that “gym rats” do. Many men exercise only to achieve manly biceps, triceps, or quads, but dancing involves more than just that. It uses all muscle groups, including those that aren’t used often—which also makes it an attractive recreation for elderly males. Ballroom dancing combines the best aspects of exercises for endurance, flexibility, and strength.

There are many thing to be hesitant about these days, but ballroom dancing isn’t one of them. The activity has a lot to offer you, so be open to the possibility of falling in love with it.
