British Expatriate Network

OK, someone at work showed me an advert for a fair he was taking his family to at the weekend. One of the "attractions" was gender-free dancing. Having no idea what that might be I looked it up on the internet -

Click here for random gender-free dancing website


So, apparently the idea is to :

• Create an alcohol-free welcoming space for all to dance with the partners of their choice;
• Promote the learning and enjoyment of contra dance within the lesbian/gay/bi-sexual/transgendered (LGBT) community;
• Offer an environment for all dancers where leading or following can be an option every dance.

Now, I have nothing against the lesbian/gay/bi-sexual/transgendered community. In fact some of the most enjoyable videos I have watched have featured certain members of their community.

But what the hell is an "alcohol-free welcoming space" ???

Anyway I do hope this information is of use to someone, educational even. Sure beats that crap about fat people & the Canadians banning things & reflectoporn that normally gets posted on here.

There's one of these weekly in Ann Arbor. Scared to ask, tbh.

Create an alcohol-free welcoming space for all to dance with the partners of their choice;

It means break out the crystal meth and off we go...

Probably a politically correct name for swinging

Once again the only genuine grip one can have against the alterantive liestyle they are in your face .
Dancing is dancing if you want to dance with a member of your own sex ...DO IT dont need a special event at a fair to achieve that .

May be they do, in other to draw attention to it? I don't go to those things, and so don't know how they operate and the whole idea behind it

It's not all about sexuality and homosexuality, though. Traditionally when a couple dance, the man leads and the woman follows. But -especially in these days when fewer people learn to dance- some couples may be happier with the woman leading. At a traditional dance, a couple with the woman leading would stick out like a sore thumb -here they might not.

It's a bit like playgroups no-longer being centred around "moms" and toddlers.

Your forgetting these guys. They danced on a boat and at the YMCA! :lol:

I like that, and it wasn't the love boat mind you :mrgreen: How does the dance go again? In this day and age though, it doesn't matter who leads the dance, am more than happy for mrs glas to lead, she is a good dancer amongst other things
