<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Being a Solo Dancer myself...it really depends on who you are. Myself, I tend to either ask one of the people at the dance to be my partner for the next tip, or just stand in the square (where the caller can see me!) and wait for the spot to be filled. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Truly, it just depends on who you are and what you are comfortable doing, as well as how your particular club responds to having the Solo Dancer there. I know, from experience, that not all clubs are accepting of Solo dancers. </DIV>

<DIV> Our club has just recently begin having <STRONG>single</STRONG> members or <STRONG>solos </STRONG>as they can be called. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> `My question is , What is the proper accepted way for a single lady to acquire a dance partner ? Should she sit on the sidelines and wait to be ask, or simple stand in a square and wait for a man to fall in beside her ? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I would appreciate any information as to the what and why of this situation. Thanks in advance.</DIV>
