Dance Pet Peeve: (Hygiene, No connection, People who teach while dancing, etc)

Girls who turn me down for a dance then I see them dancing with someone else – if I say no to someone, I try to find them later for at least one dance per night.

Favorite Dance Moment?

My favorite moments are simply when both parties are connected to each other and the music.  We enjoy the dance and ignore everything else.

Favorite Dance Genre?

Salsa, bachata, zouk, and kizomba.  There is so much great music out there and I would love to hear more when out social dancing.
