Misconceptions men have about dancing. |
|
|
It's a well known fact that
women like to dance more than men do. But
why don't men like to dance?
Why won't some men even give dancing a try?
Why do some men avoid dancing like the plague?
While there are exceptions to every generalization, here are some common
misconceptions men have about dancing. |
|
|
o
"Dancing is for wimps." Some men
associate dance as being effeminate or not a
"manly" enough activity. Some men may
associate "dancing" with "Ballet" and other
types of highly choreographed and formalized art
forms.
But it's the opposite. Swing
dancing is a partnered dance. It's a lot
of fun and a great social activity for men (and
women). On the dance floor, the man leads
and the lady follows. And we've all heard
(and it's true) how women are attracted to men
that can dance. |
|
|
o
"I will look silly/I don't want to look
stupid." I don't blame you, I wouldn't
want to look stupid either! And I agree
that men can look silly when they get on the
dance floor and just "wiggle" around or stand
there like a statue.
But dancing is very simple when it's broken
down. At Hepcats classes
we break down steps and patterns and make it
easy and fun to learn. |

|
|
o
"I need a two-drink minimum before I can
dance." I guess that's okay if you
just want to maybe rock back and forth or go
around in circles. But if you want to
learn how to partner dance to great music, then
the Hepcats is the place for
you! |
|
|
|
o
"I have two left feet, I have no sense of
rhythm...." In our experience, if you
can count to 8 and you know your left from your
right foot, you can easily become a competent
dancer. Think about it for a minute.
Even though women like to dance more than men,
thousands and thousands of men have learned to
dance; most of them just average Joe's like you
and me. So it can't be that hard!
|
|
|
|
o
"I hear what you're saying, but dancing would
just be too hard for me to learn." The
toughest thing about dancing is to sign up for
classes and give it a try. Once you try
it, you'll learn and get it just like everybody
else does. |

Conclusion |
|
We've all been there and seen it
before. It's a bar or a nightclub or some
such place, with more men than women at these
places, but more women than men on the dance
floor. Why aren't the men on the dance
floor? Often they are lined along the wall
or sitting at a table, watching and wondering,
wishing they could dance and be a part of the
action..... |

|
Anyone that has ever learned to dance had to
start somewhere. So give it a try!
You're invited to learn with the Hepcats! |
