The "Dancing with the Stars" series has sprouted new and enduring interest in partnered social dancing.  For more information about dancing in general, as well as  local dance bands and venues (many of which offer classes), be sure to check out the info and links below. If you're new to partnered social dancing, you should know that the emphasis is on "social."   It doesn't matter if you're single, married, or otherwise coupled, or what your gender orientation of sexual identification is.  People invite other people to dance for 3 minutes of amicable connection on the dance floor.  It's all about having fun while getting exercise.  While some people prefer to dance only with the person who accompanied them to the dance, they are in the minority. Every accomplished social dancer will agree that the best dancers are those who dance with multiple partners, which will be evident once you have clocked some hours on the dance floor.  The social dancers' code is to be polite and kind, and welcoming of new and beginning dancers, or those who may not be as skillful as they are, and to remember that everyone was a beginner at one time. Since dancing is a sport as well as a social activity,  safety and etiquette are paramount to assure a good time at a dance and in class.  The best dance teachers will emphasize these areas equally with steps, skill and technique.   If you are interested in lessons, check out the [Info About the Dance Venues](https://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Dancing-for-Singles-and-Couples/pages/21264985/Info_About_the_Dance_Venues) link below, and also note that many of the dance events posted here are preceded by dance lessons.  If you like the teacher, inquire about where s/he teaches.  Ask other dancers for recommendations about teachers and lessons. See you on the dance floor!  [Info About Bay Area Dance Bands](https://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Dancing-for-Singles-and-Couples/pages/21284443/Info_About_Bay_Area_Dance_Bands) [Info About the Dance Venues](https://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Dancing-for-Singles-and-Couples/pages/21264985/Info_About_the_Dance_Venues) FYI/please note -- when someone posts a recurring event on Meetup, Meetup automatically assigns that person (a) as host for the event; and (b) as intending to go.  This may not be the case for the person who posted the event (i.e., they're hosting and/or attending), and it would be too burdensome to update each occurrence of each repeating event to correct this Meetup annoyance.  Therefore, please do not assume that the person listed as "host" will actually be hosting the event, or that s/he will be in attendance.

We have the need to travel on two wheels, to not only see the glorious sights that await us but to envelope them, become one with the wind and the sun and the landscape. We seek the horizon, we long for the road, we desire the excitement of experiencing all of this with our friends. We lust to wander on motorcycles. Join the Wanderlusters and share the joy of the ride.*** (Cathi Consolo)
