Ask HN: How do you cope with loneliness?

I've done salsa, but always preferred swing. At least in Philly, the salsa crowd takes it self far more seriously, and the swing dancing crowd seems to attract more of an intellectual crowd.

On the same note, the salsa events tend to be at nightclubs/bars, while the swing events are at dance floors. I suspect I just prefer the environment.

Yeah, I suspect finding the right environment is the important thing. In Padova, a friend and I found a really great bar where they do salsa, which was full of people having a good time rather than people showing just how awesome their talents were.

+1 for swing, much more about the fun of the dancing, less serious about getting the technique exactly right, and you fit it to all kinds of music.
