I'm Asian and I tend to agree with the OP. It's not racist. There's nothing wrong with asking these type of questions. Asians are brought up both by their parents and the education system to be more subservient to authority. Also, our parents are less affectionate and more strict. Asians...

For one of my dance routines coming up, I'm most likely gonna be dancing with another instructor than my usual one. She's slightly taller than me. This time around, I'm working on the following dances: Cha Cha Waltz Salsa Foxtrot Which dances tend to be more suitable with a shorter man with a...

Well a lot of women claim they're not into those "naturally good looking guys" but they are. I've seen it and witnessed it. Back in my 20s when I used to frequent the bar scene with my friends, I found that the shorter, average looking guys would talk to every girl they find attractive and...

Do you see it as desperate and inauthentic? I've never been the type of guy who did well at bars to meet women. I'm not tall or handsome and although I'm a good conversationalist, I'm not able to make girls I've just met laugh. Online dating doesn't work either because I am short and a lot of...

That's interesting. Are you saying that sometimes what we're seeing is worse than it actually is? Or did it really look that bad in real life?

Yeah I hope I improve. I hope it's like muscle memory just like everything else. I remember when I had trouble fingering certain chords on the guitar and now it's just like automatic. I think the main thing wrong with my routine is lack of confidence and that was because a part of me was...

I did my first swing dance routine in front of my dance studio a few weeks ago. I asked one of my classmates to record it using my phone. It's my first "performance" ever since I started dancing five months ago. I worked pretty hard at it as I found it very hard to remember the steps that made...

I don't mean to come off as bitter. I like Arthur Murray. They treat me well. I love dancing and I'm so glad I discovered it. However, I feel like I'm treated differently from the other students. Let me explain. The students at my dance school are usually older. By older, I mean in their 40s...

Well all the female dance teachers at my school are physically attractive but I only have a crush on one of them and that just so happens to my teacher. In any case, I don't really consider it a pleasure to have an attractive teacher. After all, they're getting paid to dance with you and to...

Yah I always try to think about it from the female instructors' point of view and how it must be like having to be in physical contact with so many men, most of which probably she has no attraction to whatsoever. It'd be weird for one of them to be interested in you in that way. I can't help...

Thanks. Good to know what I'm experiencing is quite normal. I don't really have much else going on in my life. I make pretty decent money in my career and I'm single and I don't really go on vacations or travel. So spending money on dance lessons is I guess my "vacation".

I'm currently in beginner's hell but I think I'm mid-way through. People are very supportive. I think I will work my way through it. My barriers to me seem purely psychological. There is no physical reason why I cannot learn to dance decently. I am musical. I play guitar and piano. I'm actually...

I'm not a muscular guy but I'm well toned and although my leading takes work, I have received comments from women I've danced with that the force I exert is "just right." Women don't like to be pushed around but they don't want someone meek either. When I first started dancing, my frame was...

I been to social dances. Usually people go with friends or it's couples going. My friends don't dance so I go alone and I kinda feel like an invisible loser.

Hi. This is my first post in this forum. I'm a relatively new dancer (been doing it for 4 months) and I'm glad I started. It's done wonders for my health, physical fitness and my confidence. Don't want to get into detail about my background. I am 34 years old. Asian Male. I am shy but not...
