Aw, hell, I was gonna be all original and funny and post that video. I don't think I've ever been ninja'd that... specifically before.GodsAndFishes said:
But no, I most certainly don't dance. Not well, anyway. The last time I danced in public... it was a university-sanctioned thing. The whole point was to look ridiculous.
Well, first off, I love to dance. I can hardly go a week without going and getting my suedes dirty.
My favorite type of dance to just do for fun has got to be hands down east coast swing. The big band era has just got such an awesome variety of musical styles and songs to pick from that it's hard for a swing session to be bland. And you can swing or, by extension, Lindy Hop to very nearly anything. East coast is a 6 count dance, and lindy hop is an 8 count or you can make it a 4 count. So, as long as you're creative enough and have a good sense of musicality, there's very little you can't dance to.
But my absolute favorite style of dance, and my sinful little secret, has got to be Tango, either Argentine or ballroom, it doesn't matter. The absolute and total reliance you have on your partner and that they have on you is like nothing else. The perfect rhythm between the two of you is almost spiritual. If you haven't had the chance to learn tango, I would highly recommend it.
If you haven't guessed from the above, I dance a lot, I love to dance, and I like to think that I dance very well.
Usually when I'm going out for the night, I'm either going with my partner to Tango or I'm going to meet a bunch of friends somewhere to tear up the floor. But there are times when I'll just head out to a ballroom and just dance with total strangers all night long.
Having to know how to dance is almost a requirement to be a friend of mine. I would say that over half of the people I know I've either met through dance or taken them and they thought it was the greatest thing ever.
Sorry about the essay, but this is just a topic that's very dear to my heart.
By the way, if anyone reads this and is either into the Seattle or Olympia Dance scene, hit me up and let me know. Females preferred, but just because it's much less awkward.

that episode of Avatar the last airbender at the fire nation school?SpireOfFire said:
i don't really dance. wish i could and would be willing to learn something besides shifting from side to side. How come all the dance classes and lessons only teach u how to do the dances to make u the center of attention. i just wanna dance decently with my girl or alone out of the bloody limelight!
No. I get very dizzy after about 5 seconds of dancing. In those 5 seconds, I will only dance to hardcore techno, which is probably the fastest loudest music there is. I don;t feel tempted to shake to anything slower.
Depends what sort of dancing you are referring too.
If you mean dancing with a partner (such as a waltz) then i have learnt a few dances and managed to do them without my partner falling over, of which i am proud.
If you mean the sort of dancing people do in a club, then hell no! Nothing against dancing or people who do it, its just not my idea of fun.

^I'm having the same problem. 
I like ballroom and swing dancing, but I've never been that into dancing at clubs or parties. It may be that I like the music for ballroom and swing dancing more than most music I've heard at clubs or parties.
I don't even move that much when I'm playing music, and I play the effin' bass. I'm the one dude who has complete license to get mah groove thang on (I promise to never say that again).

No. I'm a fun mix of topophobia (fear of performing) and chorophobia (fear of dancing.)
Performing by itself (like playing an instrument) doesn't bother me. Seeing other people dance doesn't bother me. But the thought of me dancing disturbs me on such a ridiculous level.

I took lessons in stuff like Salsa and Merengue, but after a few months I dropped it. Why? It made me feel so incredibly uncomfortable and self-conscious.
Yeah, dancing is fun. I don't know how to dance in any specific style or with proper technique or anything, it's not something I've practiced, I just feel the music and enjoy it, and also try to look as strange and funky as possible while doing it. I don't take it seriously and just try to have fun.
Hardcore dancing and moshing or whatever is fun too at metal concerts. Although I don't really mosh, I just bounce off people and twist around like some sort of psuedo-break dancing jelly amoeba.

Oh yeah, I love dancing! I look like a vibrator with arms and legs, but I love dancing.
Seriously, there's something incredibly therapeutic about just getting on the dance floor and shakin' it like there's nobody there but you. Best thing ever.
