Is it possible to have a dance partner which you are 100% not attracted to?

Question by Claire: Is it possible to have a dance partner which you are 100% not attracted to?
I’ve been wondering.. I begun dancing this year; but I find that it would be nearly impossible to dance with someone you don’t like physically, as there’s a lot of touching. Yes or no and why?

Of course. It’s like acting; you’re not there to form a relationship, just to dance.

Q&A: How do you dance to bluegrass music at a wedding?

Question by Mary Robin: How do you dance to bluegrass music at a wedding?
We went with this great bluegrass band for our wedding but not sure how to do the wedding dance.

Best answer:

Answer by Mel in St. Louis
I am wondering the same thing… having recently decided to have a bluegrass band at our wedding… You could try a modified jig (lots of connections between old appalaichian music and irish folk music) or perhaps a contra dance (kind of like a square dance). Many bluegrass bands can hook you up with contra ‘callers’ if you don’t think it’s too hokey. Perhaps you could work that into the progression from first dance to adding the other dancers to the floor, dancing with the parents, etc…

some of the swing dance steps might be adaptable to bluegrass… maybe…

Another option is to just dance however you feel like dancing – it’s your day and you should feel great!

What is the best way to build a dance studio?

Question by cheercat2012: What is the best way to build a dance studio?
I am thinking about building a little dance studio in my basement and I was wondering what things I would need to know like the best flooring, mirrors, barres, etc,.

-How large should the space be on average?
-What brand of floor?
-Is there a special way I should clean the floor?
-Anything else you think I should know? Any tips?

Best answer:

Answer by Vlad ✩
First you will need a sprung or floating floor. You cannot dance on cement. Then marley on top. Your biggest problem is once you put in a sprung floor you loose height and your ceiling is too close for jumps usually. Let me tell you, this is very expensive! If you don’t dance on a sprung or floating floor, you will damage your knees and joints. To learn more about what is involved go to this site. They do have the best prices as well a so-it-yourself- installation instructions.

Remember, dancing at home you get no corrections and can build bad habits that are hard to break. Instead of spending all this will cost, use the money to take class everyday. It will be cheaper and you will get corrections and become a better dancer than trying on your own.

What is the difference between break dancing and hip hop dance?

Question by Jey: What is the difference between break dancing and hip hop dance?
So my friend and I were planing to go dance lessons together. But they have ‘hip hop’ and ‘break dance’, what are the differences between them?

Best answer:

Answer by Lady Luck
Hey,
Hiphop is generally the dancing side of things and is named so because it is usually done to hip hop music. The moves include things like popping and locking; stuff like that.
Break dancing is more the ‘tricks’ side of things; backflips, head spinning etc.
Hope I helped!

Thanks!

Answer by Broadway Babe
Depends on what class of dance it is. If it’s Jazz, where tan tights. If it’s ballet where pink to light tan. If it’s tap where any kind you want.

What is some good reception music to dance to?

Question by Saydee J: What is some good reception music to dance to?
I have been looking around but I was wanting some suggestions for actual people :) I would like some good songs to dance to at the reception. I am really trying to stay away from rap because I hate it and so does my future husband. I am into country and he is into rock and we both like old rock music. I am looking for good fast dancing music that will get everyone up and dancing. We already have a lot of slow songs. Thank you so much!

Best answer:

Answer by bunjamina
Top 40 from the 60′s, 70′s, 80′s, 90′s is awesome. Choose songs that are upbeat and people will dance.

At my wedding, the band played a lot of Beatles, and the older crowd loved it. Motown is good too as most people know those songs.
