There’s almost always a surplus of women at dancing-lessons. If you really don’t want the men touching you—you can always volunteer to be the “man” to some of the other women. Plus you really get a better feel for how the dance works if you learn it from both sides. :)
That’s actually a really good idea! (Although in swing dancing, it’s a lot harder work being the man because you lead, while the woman follows.) Also, the touching thing is getting better with time. It bothered me less the second time I went.
it’s a lot harder work being the man because you lead
oh I agree—the same with Salsa, Tango and many other dancing styles. But doing that part sure gives you a better idea of what the dance is really like—and you can even better anticipate the man’s lead if you know how leading feels from the other side. :)
