I want to learn to dance, mostly ballroom dancing.
Where can I learn?
I have this daydream about me meeting a guy at a ballroom dancing class, guy, do you think that's possible?
Do you think any guy would show up at a ballroom dancing class?
What are my chances?
Possible – sure.
I've been taking Salsa lessons since January and I've met a lot of awesome women. In the group of people that usually show up range from their 20's to their 60's but there have been a couple of teenagers.
I was in a class a few weeks ago where there were 8 guys and only 3 women. Other times, there are more women than men.
As for your chances, a lot of it is like any social situation. You have to wake up, dress up and show up. A smile is always nice and smelling good helps. (But I've found that a girl that's sweaty from dancing Salsa is pretty hot) But the willingness to just go out and have a good time is the most important. You don't have to go out and be perfect, espcially in a beginning class. Just remember he's just as nervous, if not more so than you are. If you mess up, just laugh at it and try the pattern again.
Just remember, it's not the number of times you fall off the horse, just the number of times you get back on.
YMMV – but go out there, dance and have fun.
well, it depends on where you live, but there are a lot of good places out there if you dig a little. and yes, guys do show up at classes, though i can't guarantee that you'll fall in love with them.

If you live in a city of even moderate size, there are probably ballroom studios in town, and a short commute isn't at all unreasonable. The chances of your fantasy coming true are pretty slim and leave you open to the cliche of developing a crush on your instructor, so you should be wary of that, and learn dancing in order to learn dancing. Most smaller studios aren't over-run with young men, by the way, but have plenty of us old farts.

Hey!
There should be a dance studio near you where they will teach latin and ballroom dancing in groups. I dance at a place with lots of (straight) guys my age and there are lots of relationships going on so yeah your chances are pretty good…but dont get too caught up in the romance part concentrate on the dancing!
