That's great, I met my partner at the gym, doing something I like and consequently became good at.

Sounds like you like dancing. Congratulations and I'm happy you met someone doing something you like. That's a good strategy.

As far as village dance blah blah, people absolutely meet at parties, lots of people also dance at parties, correlation is not causation.

Maybe do some more casual science on social history?

But you surely can meet partners however you like and not everyone needs to love dancing, but the "obsession" people have with it simply goes back a looong way.

And aside, I actually do claim anyone who is not physically handycapped, very likely enjoys dancing if introduced to it in a easy way (look at how most children behave if you give them a rhytm), most grownups nowdays just associate it with awkward social situations, which I think is sad. I know some fellow nerds of mine, forever single, forever avoiding all situations where they would meed potential partners.
