That Floor Is Home

dance sports are so silly bc youve got the most beautiful people all dressed up shiny clothes greasy hair doing a passionate rumba and they're just kind of. on a handball court

ballroom baddies do yall have any good yt channels to help with latin technique bc I reallyyyy wanna get better at cha cha and rumba but it’s a struggle out here (those hips do be lying 😔👍)

the way i wanna learn how to dance soooo badly but i would feel SO awkward going to classes without a partner as a built-in friend/moral support

Just do it! Social dancing in general is very friendly and welcoming, and lots of people there go with the goal of meeting people and making new friends, alongside dancing. I help run a weekly wcs social and the ppl who I see come in alone typically have no problems meeting ppl and spending the night dancing. Nobody is gonna be weirded out if you talk to them or ask them to dance, and even if you just do a lesson and no social, you can still meet people and become familiar with them until you’re comfortable enough to go social after! ALSO if you are near a college, see if they are hosting any social dancing events or lessons! A lot of collegiate ballroom teams (at least where I’m from) tend to host beginner lessons or socials that are open to the public :)

Girl math is not wanting to spend $150 to rent a competition gown so you handmake a worse one for almost that much in materials plus so many hours and every shred of sanity you have left
