So I've decided to learn a simple dance and settled on shuffle, particulary on cutting shapes (dunno if there's any difference). Isn't it outdated by now? Any reasons why I shouldn't learn it or should learn any other dance? Consider that I've never danced before.
Join a class for a partner dance.
It's usually really fun because it's a sociable environment, you meet grills and as you improve in your dancing, you have people around, who get excited about that and give you compliments.
Some specific dances like Lindy are also old enough, that they've already stood the test of time, went out of style, but now have constant small groups of enthusiasts. Also, it's a dance where, if you really got into it, could potentially be a basis for a career as a dance teacher or something like that.
And, it's great fun!
