Author: adminDancing and Romancing: How Music Clubs Can Make Your Heart Sing
Some of us remember attending music classes or choirs at school out of a sense of duty to either teachers or pushy parents. Most of us sadly don’t go on to become the world famous pop stars our schools or families may have envisaged. However, as our musical tastes and interest in the opposite sex both grow, re-joining musical groups as a hobby or at societies in Universities can provide much satisfaction. Both in the form of artistic appreciation and in the chance it offers to network with potential love interests.
Making a Song and Dance About It
The portrayal of the prospective of music-related clubs as match-making services is inescapable in mainstream media, currently highlighted by the success of musical dramedy TV series Glee. Films such as Dirty Dancing, The Sound of Music, High Fidelity, Save the Last Dance, Music and Lyrics and School of Rock all underline how sparks can fly when you hit the high notes and the lasting friendships generated through the shared enjoyment of particular styles of dancing and singing.
The Food of Love
Much speculation has been given to why we enjoy music. It is no secret that we dance to attract mates; but there is also the common compulsion to dance around brandishing a hairbrush in place of a microphone when we’re alone in our bedrooms. It’s safe to say singing and dancing allow us to express emotions, with romance time and time again is the subject of pop songs. Romantic gestures often come in the form of making somebody a playlist (formerly a mixtape) or writing them a love song.
From Troubadours to Paramours
Users of dating websites typically list their interests, whether it be music preferences, film tastes, favourite books or any other hobbies in an attempt to find soulmates who share the same passions. They do say opposites attract but it is doubtful relationship network users will purposefully go looking to find love with Slipknot fans if they themselves enjoy crooning along to X-Factor winners! Internet dating can be a wonderful tool for comparing compatibility if you have left further education and the access to societies this provides.
