- Does ballroom dancing make men more confident about taking the lead? I've no idea. My husband did ballroom dancing when he was at grammar school when he was young. They used to take a bunch of boys up to the girls' grammar in the town. He did it mainly because it got him out of playing ball games, which he loathed, and also because he got to fondle the girls while he was dancing with them, also the girls' grammar school got out a quarter of an hour earlier than the boys'. When I recently related this story to our oldest son, he shook his head pityingly "What a pansy" he said. Evidently there is no connection in his mind between ballroom dancing and masculinity. However, taking the lead in the ballroom may have contributed to my husband's extremely bossy nature, I don't know.
- The only kind of dancing I did when I was young was country dancing, which I enjoyed. I liked the tunes we danced to, and I liked the fact that most of the dances involved vigorous movement and changes of partners, being whilred around or jumped in the air by a succcession of different men appealed to my naturally promiscuous nature. I wouldn't mind still doing it, but ballroom dancing doesn't appeal to me at all. It takes two to tango, but it takes at least a dozen people to do a good Strip The Willow.

- Yes - the tango :)
- It is a pleasant surprise for me to read an article about the tango on this site. I have always thought about this dance as a form of articulation of the kind of male-female relationship I prefer. This has many layers.
