I dance all the time! Usually it's alone, but I do enjoy it. When I was a kid I took jazz dancing lessons and really wanted to take tap. In the last couple of years I've taken some bellydancing, and liked it, but don't like the teacher here. I'll come and be your partner fran!!!

Movin' on up!
I love to dance. At the present time, I'm on my second round of line dance classes and I've always been able to waltz, two-step and country swing.

With a couple of shots of Jack Daniels in me, I'll even do the Twist.

Where my cats are
I am wayyyyyy to self concious to dance in public. The only two times DH and I have even danced together was at our wedding. That is it! I danced some at Prom and Homecomming and what not in high school, but not since then!

I took dance lessons when I was a kid. Dance and Tap while in kindergarden and then jazz till the 4th grade. Then I quit to play the flute since Mom said she couldn't pay for both so I'd have to choose. I don't think I was very good back then but I used to love it! I'd make people watch me! How embarassing! (Some remind me of it still!) And I can still recall being silly snapping my head back (Most likely to a Tiffany or Debbie Gibson song, or something from Footloose) and making my neck hurt!


I would love to take some dance lessons. I don't know if DH would go for that though.

No.


I can stomp (I used to be a scene kid/raver when I was living in places where it was more common).

Although, I admit, turn on the music and I dont care whos watching! I dance at work, for crying out loud. I will however blush like mad if anyone watches me since I cant hold a beat!

The hardest part about dancing is overcoming the social aspect of it. I don't care what you say, if you can walk you can dance. Being able to count to four is helpful, but not necessary. I started dancing because I was sick of going to parties and holding up walls. One of my favorite "excuses" about why people don't dance is because they "need a few drinks in them" first. Bullocks. A bit of confidence goes a long way.

For everyone that has told me they have two left feet, I simply respond, "Really, I have two right feet! Lets just pretend we're a quadraped."

If you can get them laughing, they're halfway yours.

Yup. I started dancing (ballet) when I was four and stopped when I was 17 and broke a bone in my foot, which I had to have surgically removed (the bone, not my foot...lol!). I then taught for five years. I was considered `professional' from the age of 12 when I performed in a number of shows and television broadcasts, including the opening ceremony to the World Swimming Championships which was broadcast to over 3 million people worldwide!! In my years of dancing I did classical ballet, jazz, contemporary and Spanish. Loved it, loved it, loved it. I would have ended up being a dancer, probably, if I hadn't broken my foot.

I have a theory. The problem with dancing is that most people get exposed to it when they are at an age where even walking can be humiliating. That kind of sticks.

I have no idea why I don't seem to have that problem. Prolly 'cause I don't care.

I love dancing!
I miss going out to clubs, if only for the dancing. But I am so beyond clubs at this point in my life that I just dance around the apartment now. Sometimes I pick up one of the cats and dance with them. Mik LOVES it.


When I was a kid I took jazz and ballet, which probably started my dance interest.

Only in the privacy of my own apartment with the kitty.

We had a dance contest with ourselves the other day, and we won big.

I am 24 years old and have NEVER danced infront of anyone until my company Christmas party a few weeks ago. The wife of a guy I work with drug me out on the floor and made me do it. Everyone said I did great, but that was just to make me feel good.......I FELT SO STUPID! lol

so can you dance?
I can, but I don't like to. I took lessons a few years back to try and meet women. That worked very well, except most of them were married and trying to get away from their controlling husbands. I learned little bits of everything including swing, waltz, cha cha, fox trot, merengue, mambo (I heard "Mambo number 5" a million times!
) salsa, rhumba, east cost swing, west coat swing, blah blah blah... Student of some, master of none that's for sure. As much as I don't like dancing, I liked fox trot the most. Definitely a good weapon to romance women with later down the road.
I hope I don't have to use it though. Fwan, you will love the first two styles you mentioned. I totally understand why Picasso had such strong opinions on dancing and close relationships. I had really strong opinions on tango in particular.

Now you know, Wyan, that a man who can dance is just a killer for the ladies. Oh how I wish I'd ever gone out with someone who could dance, even just a little...


I quite regularly turn my back to Max and do the sticky-out-side-to-side bum dance. I don't think it does anything for him, though...judging from the blank looks I get!!!

I wasted too much time with that venture. I looked like a "killer for the ladies" most likely because they were married to jerks though.

No way in bloody hell do I believe that!
The blank stares must be from sheer unfettered lust!
After all he is with you.

What a nice thing to say. It's getting smaller, but trust me, the butt isn't exactly the pride of Sarah at the moment
