I strongly, strongly recommend that you take up swing dancing. You do not need a partner and you do not need to know how to dance. I promise you that if you take a beginner class in lindy hop, it will be the most fun you have had in years.

It's totally unintimidating. Lessons usually run for 6 weeks and you go once a week. Usually the teachers will have everyone form a big circle and you will rotate through partners. By the end of the hour, you will have danced with 20 or 30 different people. When the instructor says rotate, you go to the next person, introduce yourself and then dance to an old 40s swing song for a minute or so. There is nothing in the world like real partner dancing (unlike that embarrassing thing that people call rock and roll dancing).

It's totally fun and you will make QUALITY friends. Not a bunch of drunk bar flys. Most swing venues do not serve alcohol. It really is a small part of the total experience.

Even if you are married, this would make a great date night. Give it a try for 6 weeks, you will love it. Here are some lindy hop places near you on yelp:

It don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing!
