Don't forget Contra Dancing.  Absolutely NOTHING beats Contra dancing 
for meeting singles.   For those not familiar with it, contra dances are
a sort of cross between square dancing and line dance.  Partners are usually
grouped in sets of two (four people) and basically walk or jog (or whatever) 
through a pattern which is controlled (and sometimes designed) by the caller.

The dances ALWAYS start with a 'walk through' of the basic pattern first so
that everyone knows what to do and beginners are encouraaged to come. I have
screwed up more contra dance lines than I care to think about, but everyone
is having so much fun that nobody cares :-)

You can usuall find them sponsored by community colleges, church groups.

The best part is that traditionally you are supposed to change
partners at every dance and women are encouraged (and do) ask 
men to dance a set as often as men as the women.  

Prepare to sweat a lot and get a lot of good exercise and have a 
lot of fun. (Wear comfortable crepe soled shoes.)

May the farce be with you,
