Hmm. Perhaps I've been unlucky in only finding myself involved in the kind of dance
They're a minority, I'd actually like to see more of them[1]. It's mainly very confusing/annoying when you don't realise before you start, if either you would have liked to join in, or prefer to stick with a couple of people you started with you know will lead you round.
[1] I'm not sure why. I like meeting many people even if briefly. It has an intricate clock like thing going.

I feel sure there must be an RFC or something somewhere explaining "Why dancing is fun", if only in case we meet aliens and they all go "You do WHAT? To MUSIC?" :) You're right, if you haven't, it's awkard. I did ballroom for ages, and it's only comfortable when you can dance with people without checking if you know the same things first. It's perhaps lucky if someone takes you in hard and shows you a first few, easy dances; a partner who can show you in a dance where that makes sense can make it a lot easier.
waltz vs ceilidh
*shrug* To each his own. I like both, though I couldn't say why. Perhaps compare a ceilidh to socialising with a *group* of friends; while waltz is clearly superior for cuddling, celidh has more abandon and mixing. I don't know.
