Maryland is for lovers?

Yes, if someone goes please let us know the crowd response (size, attitude, variety).
I'm curious if us mature dancers are still welcome.

I went. :) very interesting. It is large room with bars at each end and couches/chairs along the sides. They looked like VIP areas so probably have to pay extra to reserve them. Basically the whole room is one large dance floor which means you have to watch for flying arms and twirling people when moving around the room. Lol. I had to dodge a couple of elbows.

Cover charge for men was $10 and women were free. Beer was $7.

Having never been there been there before so I don't know if the crowd was large or small but I thought it was the right size. I am going to guess a couple hundred. Enough people that there was a good variety but not so many that you could not move.

The crowd was a good mix of ages, nationalities and m/f ratio. What was so interesting was that it was a dance pickup place meaning the women were very open to dancing with anybody. I had never been to bar before where the women were so receptive to dancing with anybody. There were only 1 or 2 times that I saw a guy get turned down. You really could not talk, the music was too loud so it was definitely not a hookup place. I am sure that happens but the whole vibe of the place was just to have fun dancing with a variety of people and nothing more.

The dancing was different than what I was expecting. I thought Salsa was more like ballroom with different dances that had a set of defined steps but this was not that at all. Not sure how to describe it but you actually danced with your partner, might be close dancing for a few steps and then break away still holding hands, twirl her and then come back together again and do some other move. I saw one guy would dip his partner. I did ask one woman about the dancing and she told me the guy leads and the woman follows his lead so the guy has to know a few basic moves. There were good dancers and some not so good but I don't think it matters.

I don't know any of the basic moves so yes I was a wallflower but I think all a guy needs is one or two lessons on the basic moves and he could dance all night. You might not find a date there but can definitely have a good time.

It was a little but harder figuring who were the couples and who were the singles. For example, I saw one couple dance several songs and then I saw her dance with a couple of other guys but then I saw her sitting on the couch with the original guy so not sure if they were a couple, just friends hanging out or had met there. Also not sure of the dance etiquette, are you only suppose to dance 1 song and then move on or what. You could tell that some dancers were definitely mismatched so from a guys perspective I don't think a guy would want to make a woman feel uncomfortable by tying her up for too many songs but not sure how to tell that. It was mostly the guy asks the woman to dance. I only saw a couple of times the woman ask the guy. Nobody asked me to dance.

If you like dancing I would highly recommend it. I am not sure if it is like this every night or is this just an occasional happening so may want to check ahead of time.

One more thing, parking is a pain in the ass so that is the one bad thing.
 
I would have thought it would be more open. A singles club advertised this place. Regular family commitments keep me from attending. If I had gone, I'd have beelined for you and try to wiggle my way around. It sounds like possibly hand dancing was going on. I'm not a skilled dancer like that. Next time I do advertise, I will try to be present and give a goofball, fun presence...

Hi there Laura!! Welcome!!! Join in the conversations or start one...don't be shy...
 
Welcome Laura and glad to hear the place was a good mix of everything. Those tend to make the best outings as the pressure is off of everyone :)

Actually i thought it was cool. I really liked that the women seemed so receptive to dancing with who ever asked them. So different than normal. The women were not grouped together in the protective shell that they seemed to get into in most bars. They were actually standing along the edge of the dance floor so it was easy for the guys to ask a woman to dance.

I certainly did not see anything that i would have thought of as matchmaking for the singles.

It's a club that actually just meets to join in fun events. If you happen to have things in common, that's a plus. A lot of members show up at mutiple events offered. I'm in no way advertising for them. It's...different, but nice.

So was the salsa night a regular Friday night occurrence or was it a special singles night specific to your group? Hopefully it is a regular Friday night thing.

There, it's a regular Friday night thing. With the club, an outing to have fun out with others.

Thanks, Star, for the update.

Except for the alcohol and no cover charge for the ladies it sounded much like all the dance groups with which I'm familiar.

The ladies "being receptive to dancing with anybody" is what makes these various dance groups/clubs so appealing. The "riff-raff" is not accepted...anyone acting inappropriately is quickly escorted out.

Couples and singles are the norm and it is expected that a single attendee will approach a member of a couple. And if you are turned down there is no reason to feel bad...you just move on to the someone else.

I'll have to check this place out in the future.

It was held at a bar so I would expect alcohol to be available. I am not sure how many people were there from the singles club promoting the event and how many just showed up, like me, so I don't know what the normal crowd is like. I may try to make it there again when I have a free night though I would go early for the salsa lesson.

If the woman are so receptive to dancing with anyone and I got turned down I would feel bad. Lol. Would make me wonder why I was so unappealing to just dance with.

Ello. Just got home from having a night with the best friend. We went to see the Truth or Dare Movie in White Marsh. It was pretty good. Giving me some SRP ideas.

How was everyone else's night?

I have not heard of this movie but it sounds interesting if it gave you SRP ideas. Have not been to white marsh in a while.

Well, it does happen. But you have to remember that all the dancing is physical exercise and folks do need to catch their breath. All you do is move on to the next lady. :)

Actually I was very surprised of the women being so receptive. This dancing was not just 2 people standing in front of each other wiggling around, this was much more personal, like dancing should be to me. There was a lot of body contact in these dances, bodies pressed together, hands around waist, holding hands and such. Looked to be far more fun than the typically dancing at a night club. You should definitely check it out and give us your take since you have had previous experience with salsa dancing nights.

Yes, this is the style of dancing I'm use to...I like to be sure who my partner is.
I must admit, your description of the dancing..."bodies pressed together ", "hands around waist"...sounds quite steamy like one of those novels. :rolleyes:

Could dance be the language of sex? It is certainly a good way to break the ice with someone new.

I once heard a dance instructor comment that the Tango is vertical sex.
After dancing with her I was convinced...and somewhat embarrassed.

You should watch Take the Lead with Antonio Banderas. That thing played out in the movie how sexy dance can be.

Driving all the way to Columbia to go furniture shopping (not my idea). Is Columbia really the best place to shop for furniture? Any better recommendations?

Trespassing a little in your MD forum (VA here), I recommend Second Chances in Baltimore for your truly original non-fiberboard pieces. Now if it’s a couch you’re looking for, or a more modern style, somewhere else might better serve you. It’s a fun trip even if you don’t actually need anything.
