Tap Dancing for a lady?

One guy I often run into is an accomplished tap dancer. Several times now, I've seen him break into a little tap dance. It gets everyone's attention.

The guy is average looking and not too big on personality, but the ladies are all smiles when he taps.
(he's not even wearing those clicky-clacky shoe taps)

B4 I ask him to teach me a few steps, I'd like to ask the ladies here what they would think of a guy (stranger or not) bursting into a little tap dance.

Is it attractive? Scary? I know it's an ice breaker!

For a long time I've planned (but haven't done)to add a hip dance move or 2 to my routine. Taps aren't hip IMHO, but still I see potential.

Thanks
GP

Trying to blaze new trails. Some work, some don't.

I have seen the guy attracting ladies...eventually his drippish personality sends them packing, but they did give him a chance.

I'm looking for honest gimmicks to attract.

Learn to swing dance. Much more affective.

Tap Dance

I'd say you shouldn't use it as an opening move. Use it with women who know you. They'll be stunned that you have hidden talents and be very interested in you...
OR
They'll die laughing!

This kind of move is a real gamble. I think you should try it and report back here good or bad.

There are no honest gimmicks. By definition a gimmick is a scheme or a ploy and not honest. What's so wrong with being yourself (as corny as that sounds). Someone like me would see right through that kind of crap and run the other way. I think most women would. Why not try it out on the nun and see what she says?

Dunno about the tap dancing idea. If enough girls see you do that, they'll be wanting you to join them on the dance floor. Ugh...

You may, however, learn some sleight-of-hand magic tricks, like watch stopping and stuff like that. Those are good icebreakers, and there's no worry about being dragged onto a thudding dance floor with 100 other sweaty, gyrating strangers.

I did try the flowers from thin air move. Not a bad move except the flowers were in such poor shape.

First, I would think: "wow, look at that guy dancing in the middle of the street"

Then, depending on his skills, I'd either

A) Think he's a dork--in which case Pointing and Laughing would follow. Or

B) Think, "hey, he's pretty good" ...and walk away.



Thinking, "wow, what a tap-dancing hottie!", I would not

Tap dancing = funny and cute, not sexy.

Salsa, merengue, and break dancing are a turn on for me.

Ice breaker

I should re phrase the question. Would the tap dance break the ice with new ladies? Would it also ensure that you wouldn't sleep with tappy?

2) If someone you already new, suddenly tap danced...wouldn't you
re-evaluate him?

I would think 'oh cripes - there's that GP person'. Then I'd walk rapidly in the opposite direction

Of course. If you get them from next to the highway (for free of course), and drive home in the evening. And drive another fifty miles the next day before you even see a woman of interest.
