I'm probably going to be flamed by the folks that think school dances are lame, but they were one of the things that made my student years so much fun. I always found it easier to talk to girls at such events. Unfortunately, I haven't had the chance to go to a dances ever since I graduated (my company rarely has parties, and most community dances are for younger teens). Does anyone know what kind of places would offer dances/socials for the Gen Y folk?
There are no shortage of dinner dances offered on cruises, and at fancy restaurants and other special venues, etc., but they tend to be very expensive (at least $50/pp compared to $5 for school dances), and very few younger people go to such events as a results.
The closest one I could find would be bars and dance clubs. However, they often don't play slow songs. And herein lies the rub: I think slow songs are a great way to get to know that "special someone." While there are clubs that do play them, they are few and far between. It's kind of awkward to slow dance with someone to fast songs, even if you know them very well.
Finally, I'm aware of events called "adult proms" becoming popular lately, which primarily targets the 20-30s crowd. Sadly, there aren't any such events near where I live.
Any other places I should go look into?
Thanks.
