You Could Be At Sea Dance Hosting

So . . . you’re a man who likes ballroom dancing. Maybe you’ve heard that one can sail the oceans or visit some of the finest resorts in the world in exchange for dancing with beautiful, single women. Yes, it’s true! You can, just as I have since 1989, if . . . The right answers to the ifs are what you’ll find in the next few pages.

Perhaps you’re just discovering the Dance-Host activity. You may have just been invited on your first assignment. Maybe you’ve been hosting for years and are still waiting for someone to define what is actually expected of you and how to be successful. This book will answer those questions and many more. Regardless of your hosting or dancing experience, your ability to enjoy life within the framework of the answers to these questions (the ifs) is the key to your successful involvement. Many gentlemen are competing for the few good opportunities in this business. Some are handsome, some are charmers, and some are great dancers.  Don’t be intimidated.  One obnoxious blunder by one of these “lady killers” can make you - an ugly, not so much a charmer, and only a casual dancer - far more attractive to the Cruise Director, and the company. If you want to be selected for these opportunities, I’ll share the secrets with you.

For simplicity, the term “Gentleman Dance Host(ing),” will be abbreviated to “host(ing).” Sorry ladies, but to date there are no “she” hosts. Why? As you’ll see, it’s the women (lots of them) who are ready, willing, and able to dance, and who often vacation unaccompanied. These ladies represent a significant part of the market for luxury resorts, floating or not.

Can this fantasy be true? Can it be fun? Right now I’m on one of the most revered luxury cruise ships in the world. The ocean liner has just left Sydney, Australia. Ahead are many exciting ports including Hong Kong, Yokohama, and Hawaii. Yes, I’m in one of those few good positions. Having lived life this way for over a decade now, with travels valued in the tens of thousands of dollars each year, my answers to those questions are yes and yes! It’s not a fantasy. It’s all real.

The evolved role and function of the host apply equally to assignments in the finest resorts in the world.
