Dancing Your Relationship To A Whole New Level

Last year my wife and I took ballroom dancing lessons together.

Like most guys, I initially cringed at the idea and I was very hesitant to go along with it. All I could envision myself doing was making a fool out of myself in front of others and of having to move certain body parts in a way that I didn't feel comfortable moving (i.e. my hips and such).

At the last moment, I caved in and I was literally dragged into the first class by my wife. I looked around the room and saw that there were two or three other couples there...and a whole lot of females in the room. There were about 20 females and only about 5 guys taking the class.

The dancing instructor told us that because of the disparity between males and females, that we'd have to switch partners many times during the class. Boy, I tell you, the first 30 minutes of that first class was literally torture and I was not sure what to expect.

Fast forward three months and 10 lessons later, I can honestly say that I've never had more fun!

I have never seen my wife laugh so much as she did when taking the class as we both shared many laughs together. It was also a long while since I've seen my wife as playful as she was when we took those lessons together.

My wife and I were already quite close to each other before we took lessons, but while we were taking lessons, I felt as though we got even closer to each other (if it is at all possible).

I can also tell you that taking those lessons will definitely be a conversational topic as we both had many interesting experiences while taking those ballroom dancing lessons.

As an example, when we were learning the Tango, we had to switch partners often (again, because the lack of males in the room) and I ended up with a 70-year-old woman as a partner. However, because of the height differential (I'm about 6-feet tall, the woman must have been 4-foot something), I kept accidentally kneeing her in the crotch while dancing the Tango!

That's just one of many experiences that my wife and I had that we can share with family and friends.

Not only that, but dancing is also great exercise! During the first one or two lessons, I wore long sleeves and wool sweaters (since it was winter time), but boy was that a mistake! I don't think I can remember a time when I sweat so much!

For you single guys out there, taking ballroom dancing lessons is probably the best way to meet women! The women to men ration in these classes will definitely be in your favor and the age range of the participants were broad.

So if you want to take your relationship with your significant other to a whole new level, try taking ballroom dancing lessons together - you'll share some unforgettable experiences along with moments that'll make you laugh.
