I can't dance, at least, not lately (injured). I should find a way to meet people.
CamWeBeFriends
It'll be good for newer dancers to have a veteran partner.
bekindtoanimals
That’s a great idea!
LicensedAdHominem
Don't worry, that describes about half the people who signed up.
georgedragonslayer
That's not a bad way to meet women or men. Especially if you can dance.
WeAreNotSmilesTImes
I just wanna dance, bro!
FartsSmellBad
That's a pretty common thing to do
Tisalligotusername
Good to know. Now I feel less weird
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
The only friends I've made in the last 15+ years have been via hobbies. Having people gather for a common interest is always a good start.
DonutDad
Best of luck, hope you meet some cool people and have a great time!
Tisalligotusername
Thank you buddy
Marsupialmessiah
Yup.... thats one way to do it!
PuchMaxi
That's the point of dance lessons, you don't need them if you already know how to dance.
lowfunctioninggenius
Now you'll dance even better AND make friends
PaytonFrost
My family runs a pottery studio, I've been throwing all my life (though I'm no master). Took a college class just to try a different style
Aerdrian
I would do it for both, and to lose weight. I appreciate the interpersonal interaction.
Tisalligotusername
Exactly! Except I'm good on the weight thing
ojioni
I was planning on joining a ballroom dance group for the same reason. Then covid reared its ugly head.
aurifex
So do you pretend you can't dance? A whole new persona? You could go all out and change yr name and job. Live a lie. Be James bond
austenbronte
Nothing wrong with refreshing the steps and helping others who are new to dancing.

I'm a lonely bastard that needs people my life?
thereitis101
Ignore those that ask why or don’t want to engage. I think that’s awesome. Interaction is healthy. Dance, my friend!
CharmingPrism
just try not to style too hard on folks who are learning Ok?
Tisalligotusername
For sure. I'll keep it humble
CharmingPrism
Thanks.
LowKeyUltracrepidarian
Man respect honestly. Fuck bars and shit. You'll find people with mutual likes too. I support you dawg
Tisalligotusername
Thank you.
LiberalViking
Exactly. You only meet people who go to bars at bars.

You never know who you might meet. Lifes little adventures
Acmer77
I'm trying to fill my life with little adventures and stories to tell. Not many seem to care about adventuring.
thefreckledfox
I’m also on a quest for friends! I had no idea finding new friends in my 40s would be one of the hardest brings I have ever done. Good luck
ageek3000
Meetup.com has worked well for me. Find something you're interested in that meets once/week. Go once/week and you'll know a few people quick
thefreckledfox
I have tried it. It worked wonders for me finding mommy groups when my kids were little. We moved, and it hasn’t worked as well for me alone
MrGubbmintMan
Good luck to you, too!
thefreckledfox
Thank! I’m gonna need it

Nothing wrong with that, practice what you enjoy :)

I signed up for intro culinary lessons a local college once, even though I was 10-ish years into a career as a Chef at the time. Did it...
Blud4BludGod
...to try and recapture what actually having fun cooking feels like, lol (it worked). I highly recommend pretending to be a novice and...
Blud4BludGod
...seeing how long it takes people to realize you know what you're doing, was great fun.
wobblecopterrrr
Had a shop tek like this, dude was brilliant, think he maintained all the tools to use in the am…
NathanDogCarFrog
Agreed. Just go have fun!
egoistheenemy
How goes the meeting people part?
Serkus
Nothing wrong with that. Hope you have fun meeting good people, and then have more fun with those people.

Ima keep this, thanks

It's like signing up for "intro to pottery" but knowing advanced pottery techniques
gordy77
What kind of dancing and where?
Tisalligotusername
Texas two step. In GA USA
gordy77
Great. Also try swing dancing or Lindy hop if you can
Tisalligotusername
I can dance at pro level. Tango,salsa,waltz,rumba,east and west coast swing,lindy hop, fox trot, etc. I'm doing this to socialize/friendship
gordy77
Doesn't sound like you need lessons :D
Tisalligotusername
You're correct! I don't need the lessons, I need the people. The human contact.
tiagogafe
I've done this with improv classes a couple of times. Great results
Noahbalboa82
No shame in that. Added bonus is the extra money you earn while working the pole
Tisalligotusername
LMAO.
heyimjephph
Not trying to be a dick, but why does anyone care? Not asking op, asking up voters. Why do you care? Why is this the content you want to see
heyimjephph
Out of all the stuff posted to imgur, why is this the content you come here for?
Tisalligotusername
I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't even know what imgur wants. I was just getting it of my chest.
heyimjephph
And more power to you! I hope you find what you're looking for
Fuzzynubz
You can dance if you want to

My wife bought eucalyptus soap and every time I use it I sing "eucalyptus if you want to". My wife says I'm really funny with eye rolls...
Isthe4thtimethecharm
I wish I could dance. But sadly, I can't think my way through that.

I love this because the lyrics aren't really any stranger than the original.

And maybe find some friends it's fine...

Cause if your friends can dance, and if you do dance, you'll have yourself a wonderful time.

If your friends don't dance, maybe invite them along.
Tisalligotusername
I have no friends. These whole dance thing is an attempt at making friends
jeamidwest
Good luck OP! I hope are successful.
