Five Places to Dance Your Heartbreak Away

Sometimes your love life doesn’t match up with the calendar and when the big Day of Romance rolls around you might be nursing a broken heart. Not to worry, though. There’s plenty of fun to be had while those coupled up love-sick saps gaze into each other’s eyes. That’s right – it’s time to put on your dancing shoes and dance away the lovesick blues!
