Ballroom Dancing

[Provision]

I just signed up for dance lessons for Ballroom Dancing at a local studio. I am finding it a lot of fun so far! Does anyone else here Ballroom Dance at all?

If it is true as some believe that you get another lifetime on this earth, then in my next lifetime I will have to be a ball room dancer!

I would love to learn ballroom dancing. And I hear that it's not that hard to learn. No swing dance for me, though! I don't like it and it's not as graceful and elegant as the other forms of dancing. However, I would love to learn the Waltz, Tango and Salsa.

I would LOVE to take ballroom dance lessons but my husband has no inclination to do so It would be weird dancing with someone different.

I was involved in ballroom dancing for a time.

This is a very late response, but I've been doing ballroom for about 3 years. I absolutely love it. I was curious if there are a lot of Christians involved in it.

Haha! It's great to know there are others out there. I never seem to run into any. I'm considering devoting more time to ballroom, but I want to be careful with the type of people and influences I spend a lot of time with. That's why I've been wondering if there is a substantial Christian presence in the ballroom world.

Ballroom dancing is wholesome fun. You needn’t venture into Latin dances if your convictions lead you elsewhere. English Country Dance is another option. Historical balls are plentiful. Especially for Regency and Victorian themes. Literature groups sponsor similar activities, like The Jane Austen Society of North America.

Since we’re addressing hobbies and personal interests; the Christian presence may be greater or less in some areas. You could always start a group yourself. Or provide a gathering space for likeminded believers.

Wow, those are some great suggestions. Thank you for the encouragement and perspective!!

I've done a course of classes for beginner Latin American and Ballroom on about three different occasions in the past. But Salsa is my favourite at the moment, not least because I think it offers more opportunities for social dancing than most other partner dances.

I don't know how many people who dance are Christians, but I'm not sure that it matters much. I don't think God wants us to totally shut ourselves off from unbelievers. It's certainly not what Jesus would do.
