Every been somewhere there is NO dancing?

[MadamSamba]

As someone who will ferret out a dancing class whenever and wherever she goes, I started thinking about places I might find NO dancing, not even local folk dancing, let alone ballroom or salsa or Argentine tango.

Has anyone ever been to/travelled to/moved to a place where there has been dancing of no sort to be found?

What did you do? Spend the night in your hotel room, channel-surfing or did you, in situations where you had to live there, start classes of some sort?

i don't think i've ever been somewhere where there's never any dancing at all. of course, i haven't traveled to that many places considering my age, but i highly doubt that you'll find a place without ANY dancing at all... even if it's just club dancing :wink:

but, in case i go somewhere where there is no dancing, i probobly wouldn't sit around my hotel room... i'd grab a friend or two and start some dancing somewhere :P it would be fun that way

I have -- at least, there was no dancing I could get to (transport problems). thankfully, I was only there only for a short period.

I spent evenings online, looking for dance video clips, listening to salsa song samples and checking DF (what else! :) )...

I live in a place where there is NO dancing . . .
or was, until a hip-hop club opened up about two weeks ago - but it's only 21+up, so as far as I'm concerned, STIll no dancing . . .

Solution: drive either 1hr south or 45 minutes north to find dancing! When I didn't have a car, I just decided that it was time for my driving friends to learn to dance. Fortunately, they didn't disagree. :)

Let's see; Greer, Arizona, a small mountain community didn't have any dancing when I went there with a couple of friends, but then I didn't go there to dance.

I don't think there is any in the town of Arivaca; an old historic town south of here.

I haven't THANKFULLY been to a place where no dancing was allowed. I have been to a friend's wedding though and they weren't into dancing much so hadn't provided room at their reception for dancing. :shock: How naive could someone be :lol: They had a steelband, a number of people from the Caribbean (including myself, who they knew would dance at the drop of a rice grain) and were expecting no one to dance?! :lol: They got, I hasten to add, a pleasant surprise and years later, when talking about their wedding, they still sound surprised that people got up and danced :lol:


Before anyone asks, yes, I was the instigator :lol: I mean, they played an upbeat version of Toni Braxton's "Unbreak my heart", I found a willing accomplice, and there was a small space in front of the steelband. What was I supposed to do :lol:

I don' t think I saw any places to dance when I was in Kyrgystan now that I come to think of it... :wink:

Most classy restaurants don't have a place to dance. It would be so cool to have restaurants with dance floors! But, heck, most don't even provide live music let alone floor space to dance.

There used to be a really classy supper club here (Peter Scott's for you Orlando folks) that had excellent food, a live band, and a dance floor. It was really nice. For $300, you could have a nice dinner, great service, an okay bottle of wine, and a long evening's dancing to live music. But the slow economy killed that club. I only hope that, as the (US) economy speeds up, places like that will come back to life. :?
