I too have found that in the "usual" places it is very hard to get women
to dance.  I am a very energetic dancer and find that even when  I  *do*
succeed,  my  partners  are  only  interested in one dance.  Fortunately
where I live, there is a solution to this problem.

Here there is a fairly strong tradition of dancing in the local culture,
so  there  are  a couple of places (one a restaurant, the other a "dance
hall"--used to be a fruit warehouse and still looks it, but  hey!   it's
for  dancing!)  where people go with the *express* intention of dancing,
and it is no problem to get dances.  In fact, often it has  seemed  that
there  were  many  more single people there (of both sexes) than groups,
and I have even seen women asking men to dance!

My only problem is I no longer have time to go.
