Every girl loves to dance at heart. Whether it’s a girl who has always been graceful on the dance floor or a girl who has “two left feet”, sometimes it feels good just to dance. Now I know that going dancing is often intimidating for men because they themselves know how terrible they may be at dancing and do not want to show they have a weakness in front of a woman. Well here is the truth. If a girl wants to go dancing she will not be judging you on how well you can dance. I think that the true test for a dancing man is how well he can keep his cool while messing up. If a guy can’t dance but is a good sport about the whole experience no girl is going to be upset when her foot gets stepped on every once in a while – just laugh it off!
So, my proposal is to take your girl out dancing. It only has to be a one night thing if it one time is enough. But guys, remember that by taking your girl out to dance it just means you are forcing her to dress up & be extra adorable for the night! So even if you hate the experience you got to spend the night with a beautiful woman. Pick her up after dinner & wait downstairs on the couch while she takes 25 extra minutes to get ready just for you. Then head downtown to century ballroom for a night of lessons & then some freestyle. Their lessons usually start around 8 or 9 depending on the night. Each night there is a different style of dance – so choose what you are comfortable with. Choose from salsa, swing, waltz, square dancing, & more. Go for the lessons and you will get personal instruction from a professional on exactly how to do the moves. You will be surrounded by other people who are there to learn so no pressure – have a good time! After the lesson is when the experienced people begin to show up & it will be fun to watch them & give a good try yourself in the midst of the unbelievable dancers. The great thing about is that it costs less than $10 a person and the fun goes on for hours – sounds pretty affordable to me!

What to Wear:
Ladies: Like I said, this is a night for you to impress your guy and get dolled-up! Though you may want to spend the night in comfy jeans and a t-shirt – throw on a dress and heels and really go all out! Here is a great dress for dancing - it is a great dress that will have a great swing to it out on the dance floor! With the ties on the side the dress cinches the waist, which is always flattering & since it is sleeveless you won’t get too warm once it gets crowded and you are moving around! Add a great pair of heels so you can stand tall and lengthen your legs! Add some great sparkle and jingle in some accessories to add movement when you are dancing. A great trench is great for when you are walking to the car after a night of dancing – you will be so warm inside the ballroom that going outside will feel extremely cold without a jacket. A trench that matches the length of the dress or is a little bit longer is great because then it doesn’t necessarily need to match the dress! Add a great clutch if you need to bring anything along and a cute headband with a simple bow if you need to hold back your bangs for the dance floor!
Guys: If your lady is putting a lot of effort into her outfit you should too. Don't try too hard - no tuxedo is necessary! But, it would be nice to wear some slacks if you have them, or at least a nice, dark pair of jeans. Add on some nice shoes and a button down shirt - maybe even a sweater over it if you are feeling daring! If you want to do the look Pharrel is showing here, just add a sports coat overtop for when you are outdoors.
