I was all "did he mean 'convincingly do the Charleston'", and thought that was an odd choice. Then I googled :)

But that aside: It's kinda sad a lot of folks don't really learn to dance any more. It's a great way to socialize (and closely get to know mostly members of the relevant sex, if that's your kinda thing ;)

The Swing community is still relatively strong, the ballroom community is somewhat smaller but at least somewhat alive, but social dancing as a general way to get together is almost non-existent outside of that.

Highly recommended. (Though, skip most dance schools. If I've ever seen a money-extraction-scheme, it's ballroom dance schools in the US)
