So a friend who I am keen on wants to go "dancing".

Being a Latino, there's a bit of rhythm naturally in my bones, but when it comes to going out on the dance floor, there's a little bit of a disconnect between my brain and my feet.

So I usually end up at some point just standing there doing the stand-in-place-shuffle

I think I'm putting Salsa lessons on my bucket list. Why not?

What about YOU?

Can you cut a rug?

Do you even want to?

Ever embarrassed yourself on the dancefloor?

Discuss!

I love to move to the music, but I don't think I'd call it dancing.

I can't do any of the latest dances, but I try to keep up.

I went to dancing school for eight years, and can tap dance like anyone's business, but that's not too cool in the club.

**Embarrassing moment: orgnote.

Lawd, purplejedi, your threads

If you wanted to ask me to go dancing, you could have just orgnoted me instead of going through with this bloody awful charade.

You men are all the same.

I love seeing latinos dance, though.

Miami South Beach is heaven that way.

Don't despair...our Prez can't dance to save his life and look where he is,

I can still dance my ass off at times even though I'm no spring chicken anymore. When some good ass music is playing I forget my aches and pains, but a couple of asprin doesn't hurt either. Just two years ago I won two hundred dollars in a dance contest at the Soul Food Music Fest.

When my back acts up all bets are off though,

Lots of folks go out looking to get their drank on or maybe to meet guys but me and my god-sisters always went to parties and clubs primarily to jam and get our DANCE on!

Oh, lawd.

Cheer up, hun. Perhaps you're just looking at it with the wrong perspective.

Maybe you're not a clumbsy human being at all.

Perhaps, you're just a very very elegant do-do bird.

Which, would make you both special and rare.

There was this one time when I had an embarassing moment back when I was in my mid twenties. I used to enroll in dance classes regularly to stay fit and this particular modern dance group was competing in a show against a few other groups, but I had missed several practices.

Long story short, they sent me onstage anyway and I missed several steps...talk about embarassing? I still cringe when I think about it all these years later.

I still love to dance but I have several years to go before I can join these guys...

They invented reggaeton for that. All you need is to shake your @ss and dry-hump your partner.

You need to practice so that you can do this;

...but WITHOUT looking like THIS;

After looking at the steppers I'm going to have to say no. I can 2 step pretty damn good, though.

YOU know I LOVE dancing, I have been doing it for years. I am trained in a few diff forms.

Whore is my fav form, but I didn't have to go to school for that

In college I was often at the club shaking my ass and in high school I was one of the people

who always got "tapped" and had to get off the dance floor to talk to one of the teachers

Just yesterday I was at Oakland Pride doing the Wobble. If anyone from work saw me doing anything

like that they would die, and no one would believe their story.

I wanted to do salsa dancing, years ago. I wanted desperately for the master to come and do it with me, but there was some issue because the instructor was some guy he used to go clubbing with as a youngster, so he flat-out refused.

I found a guy that looked like Tom Cruise crossed with Prince Harry (and no suprisingly he wasn't even ginger!) and we started. The following week I got my friend to join in and organised a partner for her. We went to ONE lesson, all 4 of us. The following week we met at her place, got plastered and stood up the other guy. My friend and my partner did the nasty while I passed out in the toilet.

That was the beginning and the end of my dancing career, which is a shame, because my drama teacher in high school told me I had promise.

Rubbing crotches with someone that wasn't my own SOB just never felt right anyway.

My embarrassing moment made me feel like this:

I can dance OK by myself. Especially to house music and such. At all the raves we simply danced facing the speaker.

I'm not so great at dancing with a partner. I'm trying to get better as my bf is pretty good at it and it's really fun to dance with him. My favorite dance night these days plays rare old school funk and soul music and that's super fun to dance together to.

I suggested taking lessons and he was down. I should look into that.

Oh, I think I can dance... then I will see a video of me dancing at a concert, or even my wedding video, and think... WTF am I doing...

So yes, I can dance like a MOFO, all alone, in my house...

I've been told I'm a good dancer. I don't know how to do anything that requires actual "steps" though (except the Electric Slide haha). I used to go to clubs a lot when I lived in Chicago but once I moved to New York I stopped. (Too much of a "scene" here.)

I'm always first on the dance floor. I always say if I'm out at a party/club etc If I'm not dancing I am NOT having fun!

I'm not a great dancer at all, but I know how to move my body..

I love to dance... always hit the dance floor first and stayed on it.

I learned salsa as a teen because I wasn't raised around too many Latinos. Love to dance all forms of Latin dance... I even used to break dance in the early 80's. Do not ask me to do that stuff now though.
