Title: Dancing?
Post by: Luc on July 18, 2011, 09:23:58 PM
I screwed up things with my fiancee; now she's not my fiancee anymore. However, she's given me a month to get my s^&* in order. I'm working on everything I can on my own, but one thing I know would melt her heart is if I could learn to dance, even in the most rudimentary sense. She is an incredible dancer (club dancing), but I feel like I have two left feet. I'd love to take dance lessons, but I'm totally broke, so... advice? If someone could teach me for free, that would be great, but I'm guessing the probability of someone being willing AND living in the Colorado area is slim to none. Otherwise, I'd greatly appreciate any websites, YouTube vids, etc to try to teach me how to dance.

Thanks Trista, though I'm curious: why is it kinda odd? Maybe I should have explained that in the entire time she and I were together (about 19 months), we only went to a dance club once. She used to thrive on dancing at clubs. So I want to be able to take her out to them, so she can regain her passion, and have someone to enjoy it with her.

It's not odd in a bad way, I myself just wouldn't expect a man I'm with to try to impress me by learning to dance. It sounded, movieish, haha

Sebastian, where are you in CO?  There are some places that do free lesions before social dances, but I don't know of ones for club dancing, as that's not my thing.  Maybe she'd be interested in trying a salsa club or something.  If you guys live in the Denver/Boulder area I could suggest some places.  If not, youtube is a great resource.  :)

Have you tried 'Expert Village' on the web?  I found they had some really good video lessons when I was learning to ice skate.  They have all sorts of stuff so I'd expect dance to be one of their more popular topics.
