Would you Marry or Date someone who is not a Salsa dancer?

We have a thread like this started by a member over at our sister-site. I thought it would be a good thread here as well especially after Mambo Mistress' post below:

....When I first met my husband, I was teaching class and he was my student. He practiced every day for 1 full year to impress me (LOL) and to get better at it. Now he is an incredible dancer and instructor (and I'm not just saying that cause he's my husband lol)....

Although, I'm not on the market right now so to speak, :lol: I really like how MamboMistress and her husband met. How romantic! :) I have to say that my choice would be to be with someone who is a dancer or at least has the appreciation for Salsa. I'm not sure it would work if we were total opposites. It would have to be someone who I could share and appreciate my passion for Salsa. What about you? :)

AWE Thanks Peach!!! :oops:

My husband and I have a joke running... that I taught him to dance so that I can date and then eventually marry him - because I wouldn't date or marry anyone that wasn't a Salsero...LOL. (I don't really know how true that is...but luckily I did find my Mr. Salsero)
 
Well im loved up at the moment :kissme: :together: :bouncy: with a salsero, so im probably a bit biased, and since ive been on the salsa scene, hes been my boyfriend, so whilst on the scene ive never gone out with someone not part of it, so i can say id prefer him to be a salsero, but like i sed a bit if bias creeping in
 
On the other hand ...

... I haven't been out with someone who isn't a dancer for 5 years. And I starting to think that it's a baaaaddd idea. Only last night I was wondering how I'd ever start meeting people in the real world.
 
I've been with my guy for 3 years, and took up salsa a few months back.

Needless to say - things are strained. My OH hates me going to salsa - he's a very bigoted, and often racist man and I sometimes cringe at what he says. I love him to bits but he can really make me want to strangle him sometimes with his opinions especially about salsa. His words, "its all gay men and black men" - complete rubbish! I love salsa - I love the people it brings together - all the cultures and styles - if it were a river I'd just have to swim out and float in the middle of it all.

My OH obviously - will not salsa. He will not listen to salsa music, or let me even talk about salsa - hence why i found these boards.

I would find it easier to date a salsero - and there are some rather saucy salseros out there! I would just hope that there would be room in our lives for other things as well!

I have to say the amount of guy friends i have spoke to who know nothing about salsa, are very narrow minded, they make the comment about all the guys being gay! but they couldnt be more wrong, salsa is a passionate dance about male and female. Its such a shame that for non-salsero partners, salsa seems so inaccessible.
 
I would so love him to come to salsa just once.

Even do just a forward and back with me. Its the most romantic dancing the most passionate.

Mind you - theres nothing to watertight as a closed mind! :evil:
 
I think for the most part, many who do not understand or are afraid to let the secret out that they just don't know how to dance will make "any" excuse not to even try. Not just for Salsa, most times, dancing in general. Dancing has nothing to with the color of your skin, your "private" lifestyle or whatever! For those who don't wan't to dance, they'll think of any excuse, no matter how totally false and dumb it may be. I had an Ex-husband like that. Yeah, that's why he's my EX-husband! :evil: Anyways, I'm not downing on anyone, just their comments. I've heard those comments before and they are not only "untrue", they are just plain dumb. :? Sorry, sore subject. I'm better now. :lol:

If a guy is not a dancer, particularly a "Salsa Dancer", there's a 90% chance that it just won't work for me. That 10%? Well, I still don't know. ;)
 
If there were two equally attractive girls, but one of them doesn't like dancing, I would pick the girl who dances.
 
I think I'd prefer someone who dances.

Based on past experiences w/ non-dancing SO's either: 1) I'd feel lousy about leaving them behind at the table to cut the rug with my dance buds; or 2) They'd get insecure about the numerous partners I dance with and start making demands (i.e., "it's either me or your dancing!").

Are we asking for too much?

So far, I'm only acquainted with one couple where one dances and the other doesn't.

That's not what I implied. I like anybody is governed by the LAWS OF ATTRACTION. Someone I'm romantically interested in must be attractive to my eyes. So if I find two candidates who're equally attractive, I'll more likely pick the one who dances over the other who doesn't. If none of them dances then I'm in big trouble, but I'm sure I'll figure out a way to pick one.
 
but guys don't forget one thing...that when you broke up with someone from the salsa..you will see him each time (if you go always to the same club) and i don't need to tell you how is to meet your ex every day :roll:

anther thing... not too many people are dance salsa so its community are small...so if you want to date with a someone from the salsa... you should know that he or she was with her or him and too many people that you know and see each day are dated with your lovely girlfriend.

and at last i think that it's now healthy for the relationship that you and you girlfriend has the same hobbies and you spant too much time togther.


i know that i prefer a girlfriend that dance but not in each case and some times it's good that i date with someone who doesn't care from what the floor is made of ;)
