Asking women for a “double trouble” dance is certainly more difficult, and can be logistically challenging, especially if you ask them separately. Thus far, the approach I have been usually taking is to find two available women who are chatting or appear to be friends, and then have a brief discussion with them about it, explaining what “double trouble” is.
I am finding this approach seems to work reasonably well, although it forces me to wait until conditions are right (noise level not too high, dance floor not too crowded, transition between tracks not taking place, etc.).
I would be curious to know what approaches others have taken in requesting a “double trouble” dance; or alternatively, how they have been approached. Also, I’m finding that this style of dance seems to be particularly appealing to women. And, I’m curious as to why. Is it because of the novelty?
