Is it just me or every since the rumor of him getting a hip replacement, I have notice that Prince no longer dance at his shows anymore or spin and jump up on pianos.

Hmmm....well he still dances a lot on stage but not as much as before because...well he is almost 50!

But shhhh...don't tell anyone.

got me worried 2

JB danced until he was 73yrs old.

WTF? Prince still dances. He danced on American Idol. Did you see the Musicology Tour? Prince still dances. He danced the hell out of his pants on that tour. Sure, he no longer does acrobatic routines like he used to. However, I could do without the Nude tour interpretive dances, plus he never really danced that much earlier in his career. It seems like he started heavily focused on dancing on the Parade Tour. Anyways, point is--Prince still dances. Just not at the Superbowl.

PS. He didn't have a piano on the Musicology tour. Still danced like a mofo.

Yeah, but in a way that made you wish he had hired a pair of delicious 20-year-old twins.

He still dances.All we're missing r the magnificent splits!

'why Prince do not dance anymore


Im sorry. you mean, Why Doesnt Prince dance anymore ? Sorry I dont mean to be rude. Its a pet peeve. sorry . so sorry.

Anyways.
He dances, just not as much as he used to.

Because he's pushing 50. Time is playing its trick on him, I guess.

I think the twins are an extention of Prince. They dance. He definitly isn't dancing the way he once did (splits, etc.) He isn't just standing there, but he isn't just going crazy like he once did, which is fine. I think it still works. But the twins are intentionally there to provide that action many of us got us to with the old school Prince. He had that hip trouble and stuff,maybe that has something to do with it.

You try jumping off pianos into a spilt wearing
four inch heels for 20 years,and see if you feel
like gettin' down

He had no other CHOICES on stage. Prince has OPTIONS.

Because that's what the audience should be doing!

Whatever! He dances enough for me he's just trying to not wear out his body

It makes me wonder if the hip replacement rumors are true. Oh well, it doesn't matter to me either way, I like Prince for the music and always have. All that dancing is secondary and thank God Prince wasn't too overboard with it like all these other entertainers these days. Since they don't have a damn lick of musical talent and can't play an instrument whatsoever, they need a stage full of choreographed dancers so the stage won't look so empty. I prefer an actual concert over a damn Broadway production any day.

I agree

He sure didn't and it was great. He danced but it wasn't staged. He just basically danced however he was feeling the music at that particular moment.

Who cares?I mean he never denced 2 much so relax!

no i know that he danced but not 2 much....

He also walks with a limp. that he masks mostly very well. It was even referred to as "his own unique walk" in an article on the Musicology tour in Dallas. I read somewhere that he fell once off the stage when he was doing a crowd dive or something and they didn't catch him. Whatever the case, he deals with it very well. Oh, and at the Tower Records gig last year, his limp was very noticable in close.

Dude that's Prince's pimp walk and he's been doing it forever. It's part of his schtick.

skywalker said:

I hear what you're saying, been following Prince since '81, so I've seen his "pimp walk" many times. For at least the last three years he's had a "limp" to his "pimp". I'm telling you, he's walking differently. It's all good, though. Hey, he's getting around just fine.

skywalker said:

Haven't seen him dancing in Vegas.....

I would think it would be obvious, the guy's pushing 50.

But look at him, he doesn't like he's aged all that much. Seeing his SuperBowl performance has me convinced that he's going to be around doing performances for a long time to come. While age doesn't show physically, his stage presence shows a certain wisdom that comes with experience.

But he still dances a little, just as not much as he did in this video I saw him doing "little red corvette", he had some wicked dance moves in that video. So much that I can't get it out of my head. He won't be able to do any more splits in his age, but he's still pretty active.

Cause when you move it slow it sounds like mo'
And it's alright, wwwwoah it's alright!
