I'm not sure what's popular now, and it's been about the same amount of years since I last danced.

I was very much into square dancing with my first wife (the one I mentioned in another thread was killed in a traffic accident last month). In fact, she was a square dance caller, and I composed music for square dancing, and we sold CDs of it. As far as I know my music is still in use at square dances, and I was well known amongst square dance callers at one time.

If you're interested in getting back into square dancing, I'd recommend going to a gay square dance club. The gay dancers I danced with years ago on a couple of occasions were awesome, they're younger, there's no dress code, and it's fine to dance in male or female position no matter how you're dressed. I looked at your profile, and you list Waco as the city, and I assume Texas is the state. I checked the website for the gay clubs and found there's one in Austin and another one is San Antonio.

I do hope to return to the dance floor myself next fall. We'll see how things go.

I've always had too many other things going on to learn to dance, but I love some of the dances, and to be able to tap would be great fun!

I got seriously enough into disco, in the eighties, to take private lessons with my partner. Was great fun but it's been a while and my partner since is not a dancer, so.........

Would like to get back into dancing when I have a place to practice regularly.

Hmmm.....what about belly dancing? It's sensual, feminine and a great way to keep toned.

They've just opened a place quite nearby and I was thinking about it, but I don't think I have the fluidity to do it properly, I would end up just looking awkward.

All of me is in good shape Mary, but I think I would be about as fluid as robot, lol.

Hiya Aunty xxXxx

Cos you know I was for some time a proffesional dancer, In Hamburg. I was actually offered a contract to appear at Peanuts on Santa Monica boulevade in LA, which I now think is called 2146 or anyway its a number now as opposed to a name, But would'nt have a clue on line dancing, square dancing or tap, Don't think the punters/clientelle were there for dance appreciation, lol. Unfortunately I was made redundant in Hamburg and unable to take up the offer from LA, because suddenly I was lacking the main attraction, lol. But certainly know how much exercise I was getting then compared with now, and how supple my body was. Perhaps I ought to have a pole erected in the garden and amuse the neighbours whilst getting fit again.
