Of course. I’m a social dancer who dances mostly swing, blues, zouk, and contra, and same-sex dance partners are not only common but encouraged in our community. Not only does it encourage dancing as a fun and platonic activity, but it also helps for men to know how to follow and women to know how to lead. As a man, I like knowing how to follow because that way, when I dance as a lead with a woman, I can better understand her role in the dance. It’s also helpful when I go to a dance event, and there are way too many dudes there. Every lady might already be dancing due to the mismatched ratio, so rather than just sitting out every dance, I can just dance with a guy.

All the time. When I was married, and went to weddings and so on, the ex did not dance...ever. If I wanted to dance I had to dance with "the girls."

Yeah. I mean I’m gay but I’ve danced with my straight friends and they’ve danced together too, just to have fun. Nobody was getting together or anything.

Probably more than they do with guys

No never happens they go to the bathroom together but don't dance together 😆 honestly idk I don't go places where people are

Yes I have seen it many times. Two widows dancing with each other.

It happens in Square Dancing regularly

Yes but not slow.

My wife has done it many times

Yes, my sisters are straight and they’ll sometimes dance with each other.

Scandalous!
