Where do you go? How did you find out about the different types of lessons going on? and what type did you choose? And another million questions
I just go to a local club in Bedford, nothing fancy or anything.
I didn't actually do any research into it. My GF wanted to do the lessons, but on the day of the first lesson, she damaged her ankle so she couldn't drive. I offered to take her and the i'd sit around and watch...or so I thought. I was dragged up by the teacher and I just went from there, been doing it over a year now.
Ballroom and Latin, so currently I know a fair few things in...Quickstep, Walz, Tango, Jive, Cha Cha, Rumba and Samba. Not a huge amount in any of them, but enough to keep me happy right now.

The missus always goes on about wanting to do that strictly come dancing! Maybe ill bring this up, (the reality is i would bottle it)
Do it do it do it - if neither of you dare to try anything new, you'll be stuck in "now what?" forever!
If you hate it after a couple of goes, then at least you've tried - and you can get her to try something new with you.
I've trained with a couple of the dancers off that
Oh, BTW:
Latin & Ballroom = Strictly Come Dancing type stuff
Salsa = just latin-style, can be quite sexy, more of a social-dance
Leroc/Ceroc/Modern Jive = a modernised move-based jive style. Can be sexed-up.
Rock'n'Roll/Swing = Generally a bit "cooler" as opposed to sexy, more traditional jive
(I dance several swing styles - I absolutely adore it - the footwork can be a bit of a challenge to begin with but once it clicks, it's immense... look up "swing dancing" or "lindy hop" on youtube)

I found that me and the missus had the same problem. I have been climbing for just over a year now and in the past 4 months she has decided to join me when I go to the wall, she is really enjoying it! It's also a bonus to have someone you 100% trust belaying you 
That's until she is in a mood with you at least...

We;
Drink, go to gigs, festivals, run\play sport, hang out with friends, go to local events (haloween, fireworks, fairs etc...), lots of holidays & short breaks, cosy nights in, meals out, cinema, XXX, and make each other feel special.
Haven't been bored yet!

Do it, it's awesome. Not my scene either but I forced myself to give it a try as I knew it would make her happy - now I love it.
And the next time that you and the girlfriend go to some sort of family-do or a wedding where there's real dancing going on, you can wow the audience with your skills
We do ballroom, it's seems like quite good exercise too!
