I'm looking for a good place to practice social dance (waltz, tango, etc.) with a partner. We don't need lessons; I know what I'm doing. I just need floor space, privacy, and access to an electrical outlet for music. The person I'll be dancing with is a shy and does not want to go someplace where partner switching would be expected. Just the two of us would be ideal.

Does anybody have suggestions for finding a good, quiet location for that sort of thing? I can't do it in my apartment because my downstairs neighbors would throw a fit, and I don't feel like dueling radios with them again.

On another note, is anybody on this thread into social dance? Where do you go? I have heard good things about the Cinema Ballroom.

I know someone who goes to Tango at the Loring Pasta Bar in Dinkytown. It's actually a restaurant, but they have live music and a floor on weekends I believe.

I'd recommend that you check out Tapestry in South Minneapolis. They host lots of folk dances & Irish Dancing. Here's their website:

Tapestry Folkdance Center

I think they still have various dance events at the Cedar Cultural Center near the UofM west bank

If they do ballroom dancing at Loring Pasta Bar it's news to me. Every time I've gone there it has been Latin dancing: Salsa, Cumbia and Bachata.

Everyone might be surprised by this, but Minneapolis/St.Paul in the 1960's was home to fully 10% of America's Ballrooms. I grew up in the ballroom atmosphere - the Marigold, Medina, Prom, Bel Rae, Majestic, Princeton, etc.

Today, just google "Minneapolis Ballrooms" or "St. Paul Ballrooms." It's not hard to find places for social dancing!
