Dancing in Qatar

Hi

I am due to come to Qatar to work in a few months. Can anyone let me know if there is any form of partnered dancing that happens?

I have done Ceroc, which is a type of french jive. Also lindy hop. Is there any of this on a regular basis? A friend in Qatar has said there is ballroom dancing and Salsa, is that the case?

I'm good. =) Yourself? I've heard of a group called Beats and Bytes. I suppose it is a group of professional dancers. I'm not quite sure if they train newbies. Are you a professional dancer? or just love dance to join the group for activity purposes?
