Growing into a 20 something life can be a bit awkward. We don’t have very much money, our high school friends are long gone and our college friends are thinning out. So how and where do entry-level adults meet each other? One place, two words: Dance class.
Yes, it may seem a little like child’s play. But fuck it. Dancing is super fun, good for your body and mind AND dance classes are a great way to meet people. If you’re single, lonely, missing that special groove thang in your life, get your ass to a dance class, stat!
Just think about all the advantages there are to taking a dance class:
As a straight dude:
- You’ll be surrounded by women.
- You’ll be seriously outnumbered by women. Like, 11 to 1.
- These women prance around the room and would be happy to help you learn new dance moves (this is called flirting, or maybe just help if they seem annoyed that you haven’t figured out a Pas de bourrée yet).
- If you have crippling dance moves, then you’ll learn something new and gain confidence.
- It’s a workout!
- It’s fun!
- Even if you suck, people will think you’re awesome for trying new things out. And you’ll get attention, in a good way. For real. There’s nothing better than an open person who sucks at something but still works hard to maybe someday not suck.
- Killer workout
- learn some new dance moves
- Meet new friends who like to dance
- Possibly meet a love interest, although this is totally unlikely unless more men, gay and straight, start going to dance classes. It’s all women people, come on! Diversify the genders!
- You get to pretend you’re at a practice session to be a Britney Spears backup dancer. Or, Britney Spears.
- More people knowing how to dance means more dance battles at night clubs on the weekends. HELL YES.
Need I continue? Even if you think you suck at dancing, just think of it this way: It’s a bunch of Liz Lemons, getting together every Tuesday to dance, just like the Timeless Torches!
Ok, so even though meeting a love interest is slim to none, dance class is still a great place to meet new people. Who knows, maybe your dance partner will have a hot brother, roommate, or non-crazy ex-boyfriend. And if not, you’ll meet some new people to be goofy with in dance class and get drinks afterwards. Win win!

This post is interesting and funny! 🙂 Love it! That’s why I always join the dance class everytime I go to the gym. Dancing is so much F-U-N!! Apart from doing good things to your limbs and bones, you feel good and energize after. So let’s dance! 😉
yes! and it’s just awesome when you can work out and have fun at the same time.
