Romantic Los Angeles Part 2 - More Romantic Things to Do in Los Angeles

By Kayte Deioma, About.com Guide

Dancing with the Stars has demonstrated just how sexy ballroom dancing can be. It's still plenty romantic to have an excuse to hold your partner and whirl around the floor if you're a beginner, and there are plenty of lessons and clubs where you can dance the tango, waltz, salsa, foxtrot, swing and more.

For a truly retro Fred and Ginger experience, get dolled up and try the Sky Room in Long Beach.

For a more casual experience, Joe's Great American Bar & Grill in Burbank has swing dancing every Tuesday and a variety of dance styles and other live music on other days.
