Dance with me
Last year I've been secretly learning how to dance
I took my wife to a dance club last weekend, best night she's had in years!
So, last year I decided that I was going to learn to dance. My wife just love to dance, and I never really cared to dance. I was that guy that just stands in a corner at parties, that practically just listen to rock and metal. Most dance I ever did was head banging and mosh pit at concerts.
My wife dance since she was little. She loves it, it just comes natural to her, it seems like she have springs in her hips. And a long time ago she said how she misses her nights out when she danced all night. Some times we go out and she dances alone or with some of her girlfriends. She tried to dance with me some times but it just wasn't my thing.
But then I decided to make it one of my things, if not for me, for her.
When I was alone at home, I started to watch dance clips on youtube, some good, some silly (yes Napoleon, I'm looking at you), some tutorial dancing vídeos, even a lot of zumba vídeos and try to copy what they were doing. At the beginning I was feeling really silly, dancing in my room, in front of the mirror. But with time I got used to it, and I even got good at it (at least compared with the awkwards moments I used to make). I really put my heart into it.
Some months later, I decided it was time to put what I learned to the test, and took my wife to a night club. When we got there, I got us some drinks and waited for the opportunity, witch didn't took long (I think "despacito" started to play). I look at her and said "let's dance?" She gave me that "what?" look, and said "Are you sure?", I just took her hand and said "let's go!" And boy, she was surprised!
I wasn't some Ricky Martin killing on the floor, but I was keeping up with her. And then she started to elevate her game, really letting herself go with the music, and I showing what I had learned. She start to go all physical, grabbing, pushing, all sexy dancing, song after song. And the joy in her face! She was loving it! It wasn't the leg shaking I did around her the few times we danced in our years together. She asked me were all this have come from! And I told her I've been practicing for the past year. We danced all night.
She was amazed! And happy! And joyful! The whole night was like some foreplay, and when we got home, she was wild! Best night I had for a long while!
Of course, I thought I was killing with my dance moves, but the she said although I was good, there was room to improve and she would teach me now. And now I am her new toy. She's already planning our next weekend.
Guys, learn to dance. The ladies deserve that, and they love it! At the beginning will be strange, awkward, silly, but in time, it will come easy! And it's a great exercise! It's a great way to meet a girl or to deepen your relationship.
Sorry for the bad grammar, english isn't my first language.

Married life done right. It's those things that count

You are an amazing man, I wish you two all the happiness in the world! I've been thinking about doing this for my gf and this makes me smile
Thebae
One of the first things I loved about my boyfriend is that he dances with me. Kudos to you for stepping out of your comfort zone!
mastodonj
Ok, you have legit inspired me. Exact same situation with me and wife. That was a genius move!

You got this!!

I used to dance as a kid then puberty and anxiety happened. Danced Lindy hop night first time in ages. All the fun. Much dance. Such smiles.

theirarefourlights
I hate to dance so much. But good for you! Also, pulling people onto the dance floor should be illegal. I’m fine here, really. Go have fun.

Dude, I have the opposite case. I have danced since childhood but my SO seems to have two left feet......
SeregRauko
OR get a girl that despises dancing as much as you and digs rock, metal and even heavier shit..
AquaHair
You're amazing. My husband took me dancing for the first time in our entire marriage of almost 7 years last weekend. It was awesome. I'd
AquaHair
Been asking him to take me dancing and he never did. Putting that much effort into the one you love is awesome for any gender. Guys and gals

Get interested in what your SO is interested in! It goes a long way. Hubby made me into a Sci fi nerd because I wanted to watch what he
AquaHair
Likes with him. It's called love. And caring.

See, now this is how relationships *should* be, instead of the cringefest on a recent post where far too many people posted things like 1/

because my own need to cuddle them is more important than their ability to get a good night's sleep! It's all about ME ME ME ME ME!"
shootsewvintage
That’s cute a AF. I’d love to dance with my husband but he’s still the wallflower. Maybe one day. That was a sweet thing you did!

I have the reverse situation- I'm a metalhead, my bf can swing dance. I think I'll let him teach me now...
BHPaperstacks
Give him some MDMA
BeardedWiseman
Well, extascy would work better. Still has the MDMA but with some energy too it ;P
Nuttburger
Do you know what mdma is
jibbbabbabachd
Sounds like they do. Ecstasy is ALWAYS cut with something. Speed, caffeine, domperidtone etc. Depends on what region you're in too
jibbbabbabachd
ofc it can be cut with something that doesn't effect the high. Ecstasy is different in many places, some it's interchange with mdma
Steevna
Maybe your husband learning to dance

My husband and I met at a party not dancing. We both don't know so we met sitting in the couch. We spoke about art. 4yrs married this year.
GeneralBullshit
I'm happy for, gives a none dancer like me hope
SusieSoups
Ask him if he wants to take some ballroom dancing lessons with you! It may not be the most useful dancing, but even "non-dancers" can do it!
SusieSoups
The choreographed moves make things so much easier--I can't dance at a club to save my life, but I can waltz like no one's business
SometimesImReady
I'm a 24 year old female and I'm way too self conscious to go out and dance. :(
mmurrbles
But you'll dance when you don't go out right?
Wazzu
In my experience it's finding the right environment. Friendly, welcoming, not too intimidating, etc. Dance in the dark or a partnered dance-
Wazzu
might be a more welcoming way of doing it. (dance in the dark, no lights no lycra etc. - dance solo in the dark no judgement)
Monkeybone0
Dance Centrsl on PS4 or Just Dance on Xbox. That's how you tune your skills.
rvcaptn
Better lovestory than twilight!
PoppaBigBear
Dancing is a mating ritual, just saying.
Paprika6
I mean im a lady, and I hate dancing. So people, learn to dance if your SO loves it but dont push people. <3
HolyNipplesBatman
Yes! I find it bizarre that people think it's OK to drag someone onto the dancefloor with almost physical bullying
DreadCarcass
Yea this is worded that all men should do this for their so, my wife would kill me if i tried to take her dancing
Barbatus
This! People should accept that there are people who just really hate to dance.
littlegingerone
I'll never find someone to write two nice sentences about me while im alive.. fuck you and your happiness +1
ThorgalAegirsson
My turn. Littlegingerone has pretty hair and sweet cat. Also she has nice legs although not very resistant to sun :)
wormfood
Littlegingerone is most likely a human, and is apparently very sad. He or she also uses imgur.
wormfood
Wait, I can do better. littlegingerone is brave enough to haul off to the opposite side of the globe, which speaks to her character. 1/2
wormfood
Also has a thing for dogs and red pandas, which I am sure is nice and platonic. 2/2
ThorgalAegirsson
That's two nice sentences! Check mate littlegingerone! ;)
sydtheslothe
Thank goodness me and my wife both suck at dancing lol
swooper
The important thing is that you suck together.

That is so amazing. What a great husband! Your English is damn good!
thedeathstarwasaninsidejob1
Step 1, get a girlfriend. Step 2, learn to dance. Step 3, profit... I seriously love this story though. Good on you @OP.
PiGuy314
Social dancing classes are a great way to meet people. I highly recommend swing dancing. Tons of fun.
Redandpurpleunicorns
Or step 1, learn to dance, step 2, woman sees you dancing, step 3, profit?
QueenAmy
Yes
thedeathstarwasaninsidejob1
That also works!
jamiedBreaker
Actually though. I've ended it with two boyfriends in a row because that was all I asked of them.. literally just wanted them to go out w me
Odinroars2
All I got from this is the statement, "now I am her new toy" haha. Just messing. Well done man!!
veryfarawaycountry
It is a spanish expression. It means "she is very happy" (like a kid with a new toy).
Electroself
I secretly want to so this to. I am the guy who refuses to dance and my wife would probably be over the moon if I did.
maetryx
I think there are a lot of us.
QueenAmy
Please do it. I miss dancing more than I miss my pre-kids body
Combatman23
wiresnake
don't wait. just get on youtube, look up some moves, and try. even dancing alone with nobody watching can be cathartic and a great workout.
AquaHair
DO IT!
oddballz
Dooooo iitttttttt!
inkgrrl
Doo eet
veryfarawaycountry
My two cents: ask her if she wants to take dance clases together. Or learn with her at home with youtube
SpazzyP
I did just this a couple nights ago. I moved some furniture around and pulled up a salsa tutorial. She loved it and thought it so much fun!
asm80dfa8sdfj
I'm an anti-dancer. I was made to dance in high level Spanish class as part of experiencing culture. It was really awkward. I can salsa tho.
veryfarawaycountry
Learning in secret might backfire. And learning together will be fun.
SaucyDisses
Do it bud!
brothercaptain
do it. I do, good fun.
quitethecontrary
Seriously, all gentlemen: learn how to dance. I had an ex who could dance. It was the sexiest damn foreplay of my life.

Belckan
.......what? Enjoy a frigid sex life bud lol
Barbatus
I will do no such thing. There's nothing even remotely appealing about dancing to me.
Barbatus
I think it's not for everyone.
erischilde
We are brethren. I'm so proud of @op for getting there. I want to learn, but am also in the corner. She wants to go dance too. Badly.
JustAnotherGuyFromHere
Then learn! it will take time, it will take a real effort, but it will be worth it!
Belckan
Give us youtube recommendations
JustAnotherGuyFromHere
Try the zumba videos. Lots of stuff for beginners. Is where I started.
salamader
Me and my gf took up ballroom and Latin dancing. I like to think we crush it at weddings :)

Oh.. it's you guys. Every wedding has his annoying couple.
