Skill level

I am convinced, and I will die on this hill, that the number, quality and frequency of strangers coming to ask you out for a dance is a strong solid indicator of how good you are at dancing.

I do not mean a random ask. I mean where strangers search for, will wait and beeline for you.

For example, the fact I rarely get asked by strangers (when they do it is a random ask) and I only dance with people I know, is a clear indication that my dance is lucking.

On the socials I’ve been, attractive women seem to get invited more. There’s often a girl in her 20s that’s literally never had a class in her life and men will go after her and happily and patiently teach her stuff on the dance floor. (I’m not approving of this, just sharing observations)

i am a pretty girl people gravitate to in socials, im also nice and fun, AND i do tend to give my best to each lead, i do consider myself a good follow.

but still, agreed! i think that if i wasn’t as pretty as people find me, even with my current skill level, i would get asked to dance less.

it’s actually noticeable with my clothing too! if i dress more attractive i can’t catch a break, if i dress up chill i get to sit and rest 🤷‍♀️
