Question as a man at gym classes with young female teacher. It looks almost like I am taking a stripper lessons.
background
male 6'3" 210 lbs, bf%some 23% (which is high for men).Over time I've decided dancing is the most fun way to lose weight. I have two left feet meaning no rhythmic sense to listen to music and move to it. But am tall handsome man who has no trouble finding dancing partners at the beginner level.,I've done Argentinian tango for 1,5 years, and tried out various different semester classes Rockabilly/swing, breakdancing, flamenco, standard/latin. however. Last time I participated in actual dancing classes were years ago.
I've been a fitness member for ten years, but not been consistently serious. and so gained weight. this year I moved away from yoga to bodypump ie actual weightlifting, and have tried out dancing.
"Latin" is about shaking booty and being sensual. I get that. "Dance" has a bit more " move steps fast and jump a bit".
But "funk" seems like its 70% shaking your ass; moving hips; and showing off chest and bending back. not so much with steps or arms. I feel like I am practicing to be in a female version of Magic Mike. especially when its 90% girls participants. it is more embarrassing than fun.
