How Dance Lessons Can Remix an Average Valentine's Day
If Valentine's Day is the Super Bowl of Date Nights, then let's get one thing straight: You can't win with an average performance.
Flowers, chocolate, and a moderately priced dinner with an average bottle of wine may earn you a polite, but otherwise, run-of-the-mill V-Day.
Dance Lessons, of all things, can change that.
Get (Literally) Closer
Face to face communication is something any significant other respects, and adding some Salsa, Tango, or Waltz to that only takes that to a legendary level.
Nothing against the romantic potential of hobbies like Bowling, color therapy, or re-enacting the pottery scene from the movie Ghost, but social dancing is a legit "Getting Closer" win.
Not to mention, face to face bowling could get somebody killed.
Paired Hobby
Whether it's the type of movie you watch, or the hobbies you have - it can be fairly difficult to find something that both parties find interesting.
With dancing, after a couple of lessons, the perceived drawbacks are replaced with sweet moves, and you've got a legitimate hobby you can do together as a couple. Kathryn Murray (wife of Arthur) used to say, "with men, you have to drag them in, but before long... you have to drag them out."
And for those guys that no longer believe the myths about ballroom dancing, this is a verified and undeniable fact.
Work Off That Chocolate Fondue
Wouldn't it be great if eating chocolate fondue was considered exercise?
Think about it, a candlelit, romantic meal of melted chocolate, but at the same time you're getting in great shape. Well, dancing may not have the allure of an array of junk food you can dip in chocolate, but it is just as romantic, and will burn the calories off at the same time.
Switch It Up
Your cable provider has seen to it that you'll never be lacking for visual entertainment. With 500 plus channels, you've got plenty of options. Learning how to dance is very similar, here's how:
Your dance lesson provider offers a similar array of exciting variety.
This means that no two lessons will ever be identical. So you can consume as many dancing episodes as you'd like. Whether that means a little Salsa, Rumba, and Waltz on one night, then trying Rumba, Swing, and Foxtrot on another. Everything you learn will be connected, will build on each other, but will deliver a new and exciting experience each time.
Kind of like your favorite binge-worthy series on Netflix.
Comparison Shopping
Your better half will be getting together with her girlfriends to do post-Valentine's comparison shopping... and the guy that chooses dance lessons is the big winner.
Just think for a second, "how many couples do I know that know how to Tango?" Seriously. Now ask yourself, "if we could dance the tango together, could that get me some serious brownie points?"
The answer to the first question? Probably zero. The answer to the second question? It's without question.
Learning how to dance puts you in some exclusive couples territory.
The Stages Of Valentine's Day
There are some pretty clear stages of Valentine's Day when you're in a relationship. First, there's the Excitement Stage - where you're essentially doing every cliche thing you'd see to celebrate the hobby.
Next, there's the Big Ticket Stage, this is where you really up your game, and may do some serious credit card spending limit damage.
The next stage is the Frantic Stage. At this point, you feel like you've done it all, and are searching for something new.
The Final stage is the Over It Stage. This is when you've run out of options, start to discount the practice, and show signs of Valentine's apathy.
Final Thought
Whether you're in the candy hearted world of the Excitement stage, or have been grasping for anything in the Frantic Stage - dancing will help. Even if you've stepping into the apathetic "Over It" Stage, learning to dance can re-calibrate your approach to Valentine's Day, and it just might remix your relationship in the process.
Your next step is to arrange your first appointment. It's a free consultation where you'll get introduced to the basics as a couple working with a private, certified instructor. They'll have you moving together within the first five minutes of your arrival.
