Please forgive the copy/paste but this was my comment to another thread talking about a dating pack. I feel very strongly about the potential of a ballroom dancing skill in TS4:
"I think a great skill to add to a dating pack would be a ballroom dancing skill. We already have just "dancing" but it's more like club dancing and you can't really dance romantically with anybody. The mobile app had a version of ballroom dancing that required an instructor, but I'm not sure that'd needed in TS4. I'd propose they include a ballroom dancing skill that would include things like the waltz, foxtrot, salsa, swing, etc. Technically kids and teens could learn it too, I guess, but I can imagine it building both the physical skill and possibly attraction between partners--for better or for worse. I know there's probably some stipulation against children Sims have an affection bar, but childhood crushes should be a thing, I think. And dancing together would absolutely either increase or decrease a childhood crush. Such a skill would enhance not only a dating game pack, but the Vintage Glamour, Romantic Garden, Luxury Party, Dine Out, and even the Vampire packs. Ballrooms could be a new venue for dates and you could have competitions like with the regular dancing skill--or possibly even couple's competitions if the couples dislike each other. They could also add in just a simple slow dance (suggested already by another user) that could be performed anywhere with couples dancing cheek-to-cheek in their living after the kids are asleep for instance. I'm not a programmer and thus I don't know how much effort, time, and money goes into programming a whole new skill, but I'd imagine it's a lot. I do think a full pack for romance and dating would absolutely be worth it in sales, though, especially with a new fully 10-level dancing skill. If they ever make an official school pack, then school dances could also be an event with both regular and ballroom dancing. How about wedding events? There's a ton of applications to adding a game pack with this skill."
