Social dancing is usually done with a partner, so you need to either have one with you when you get to the venue or ask someone there if they want to dance with you. Again, relax. The worst thing they could say is no, in which case you say okay and then go ask someone else. Try prepping ahead of time by engaging in small talk with the person. Like their shoes? Compliment them! Everyone likes to feel appreciated. And ladies, throw out the old notion that you have to wait for a man to ask you to dance. Men are often thrown off-guard by a confident woman (in a good way)! Little extra tip too, offer your hand out and lead your partner onto the dance floor. It’s a dated move, but it makes you look respected and classy!
