Has anyone noticed Prince doesn't really dance anymore? Why?

We know the man can dance! So why do ya'll think he doesn't as much? And don't say because he is getting older.

Hurt his leg jumping around on stage.
Saw the writing on the wall & stopped dancing.

I'd rather see him play than dance anyway.

BECAUSE HE IS GETTING OLDER.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. It's like telling someone NOT to think about pink elephants... cause they will
I mean, like, where is the sun?

I don't think it has anything to do with his age.

have u heard any of the guitar work from the ONA tour or from Xenophobia? if so, then you already know why he hasn't been dancing much.

I think Prince hasn't been dancing lately only because it doesn't go with the Jazz feel of the tour. I think he will dance again when he changes direction on the next album after the live one.

He's no Michael Jackson when it comes to dance anyway. He's a funky mover, but no more impressive than a member of N Sync.

This tour is focusing on Prince - The musician (or arguably rince - the preacher..), not on Prince - the Showman.

Plus, he's 44. Age counts of course, althopugh I think he'as still more flexible than many 25 year olds..

I prefer his new stage presence better. No dancing, no dancer, no choreography, no props, no gimmicks, no distractions. Just music. I think all that b.s. just gets in the way. And his band is tighter than ever. I don't miss the dancing in the slightest.
