Product Description: Partner dancing is a fantastic way to meet people and begin new relationships -- it is fun, great exercise, and potentially romantic. This guide to partner dancing encourages people to ignite their social lives by becoming irresistible dancers. With specific advice for both men and women, it explains how to determine partners' personalities and love-making styles from their moves on the dance floor and describes how to make the transition from dancing to romancing when a partner is that special someone. The obstacles facing many beginning dancers are covered, with recommendations about choosing lessons, joining dance clubs, and exploring various dance steps. A resource guide to professional and amateur dance organisations, publications, Internet sites, and dance videos is included.
A self help book for the beginning social dancer This book reads like a self help book to build the confidence of beginners who are attempting to brave the social dance scene. Though it mentions several different reasons why social dancing is so enjoyable, it mostly focuses on meeting women or men and delves into why it is a great way to meet the right types of people - for romance as well as for friendship. The book also provides some tips on how to get started and some resources, although the author focuses mostly on swing dancing. This is a well-written book for the complete beginner, although most people getting into social dance already know why they want to learn. The book does not go much deeper than social interaction and so does not appeal to the intermediate or advanced social dancer.
It's really that easy to make friends on the dance floor! This book so accurately tells how much good can come in your life by simply joining a social partner dance class. Marcott explains, along with quotes from other dancers, how having the opportunity to feel music through the moving touch of another person, your dance partner of the opposite sex, is just simply a happy tingling sensation that makes your whole being smile. And really men, there are sooo many women who want to dance, that if you learn well, it's likely many women will want to dance with you. Remember, usually there are more women than men at most dances, in any style (i.e. ballroom, swing, latin, tango, country, contra) so who gets to dance every song if they want??? Marcott so graciously explains what a great way to be intimate with other people, one on one, without it being more than a dance if you don't want!! He also has a good long list of complete resouces for guidance.
