Okay guys, here is a question for you . Do you enjoy dancing?

Any dance can be applicable, and note that you can enjoy dancing despite not knowing how to dance. And you can enjoy dancing even though you are terrible at it. So how many of you like to bust out in song and dance when your favorite song comes on?

Also to those who do enjoy dancing what kind of music do you enjoy dancing to?

And to you guys who actually have dance training, what kind of dance do you do? And how did you get into it?

I've had dance training (for 6 years), but that was years ago. I learned Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Rumba, Samba, Jive and Paso Doble. As to how I got into it? It was the thing to do when you started year three of our highschool equivalent (14-15 y.o.)

I still enjoy dancing at parties/clubs on occasion when the mood hits me, alcohol and pretty females help, but are not necessary. Good music and atmosphere however are.

I'll dance to nearly anything, from joining the pit on some rock/metal to pop and (some, still think most of this sucks) EDM.

Hell no. I hate dancing. With all my heart and soul.

Though, to be honest, some of that hate may be because of how bad I am at it. There are Sherman tanks that have more grace then I do, and they'd probably cause less harm on the dance floor then I do.

Nope.

I might if I had the slightest clue how to go about it, but as it is I have all the dancing ability of a three-legged rhinoceros with a hangover.

Thought about taking lessons actually. One of those 'if I ever get around to it' things.

Yes, I'm no good at it, too uncoordinated, but it's fun to lose yourself and move to a beat. Anything with a decent tune is good for me.

Only when alcohol says "do it, do iiiit...dancedancedance..."


It's generally not a pretty sight. Never taken any lessons and would only really do it at gatherings with close family and friends.

In clubs? No, because clubs are the worst places ever.
Formal dancing? No, because I spend the whole time counting under my breath and worrying about how cold my hands are.
When I am absolutely certain that I'm on my own in the flat? Yup. Sometimes I sing badly as well.

It is quite fun, but I am terrible at it and I can only lose enough self consciousness to actually enjoy it when I've had 2 pints or am completely alone.

My co-workers have only got me about a dozen times dancing at work because I hate it so much. Nope, I love dancing. I was born with a natural sense of rhythm helping me, so I have no reason not to.

No, I hate it. If I'm somehow forced to do it my technique is to be as unremarkable about my movements as possible until the piece ends.

I personally don't (I always look like an idiot when I dance) however one of my uncles does. He took lessons and partake in salsa dancing.

I went to the classical dances in high school twice, and both times loved it. I was one of the best dancers around. I like it a whole lot.

I would like to say no.

But I have been known to dance badly when drunk. Its embarrassing to talk about. I get drunk and I get the overwhelming feeling to bust a move. I doesn't look good.

I love dancing, just doesn't mean I'm any good at it though xD

I'm not the sort to just dance at drop of hat just cos a song I like is playing however, I'm way too self conscious for that.

But at a club or w/e? Sure I'll dance, I'll dance the night away!

If I were good at it, maybe.

As it stands, it causes mild trauma to the eyes, so I avoid it usually.

I enjoy dancing, but I'm not trained in it. I usually dance at concerts and raves, where it's just a large number of people doing whatever feels right with the music.

I don't enjoy it 99% of the time. That other 1% I'm either drunk, there's music I actually like, or its that once in a blue moon situation where I'm in the mood. Now the only thing I dislike more than dancing is when people try to drag me out to dance.

That said, I did end up getting lessons in Irish dancing way back in primary school. I didn't really mind that, it's just following some steps.

Yeah, I enjoy following dance lessons though I also do it to socialize and meet women. :p So far I followed courses in salsa, zouk and now kizomba. I can?t say I?m even remotely good at it but that is not the point in my opinion, the point is to have fun. Also chicks seem to really love dancing for whatever reason, so I enjoy it that they enjoy it. :p

Solo dancing is boring to me though, and I don?t want people thinking I?m having an epileptic fit. :p
