Bates, it truly is nice of you to want to pick up dancing.
Its actually quite a gentlemen sport, and I have known some
seriously overweight or even big men taking up dancing and sliming
down like any streneuous sporting activities they do.
It looks slow and relaxing, but dancing actually makes you uses
muscles on your body which you are not even sure existed.
And dancing with partners is totally putting yourself in the
control of your partner. (thats for the ladies part.)
For males, YOU are the Control! (You control her moves, her next
moves and initiate all the moves.) So its actually quite a macho
sport once you really know it.
