saturn Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I actually enjoy watching people dance. But I don't like to dance myself. I get very embarrassed. Plus, being a guitar player, my natural instict is to do the air guitar thing I'm sometimes reluctantly dragged out to the dance floor, but very rarely go willingly. Maybe if I've had a few too many drinks. I'm envious of those who can dance with no inhibition and have a great time. Most women are natural dancers, but it's mostly guy here so I thought it would be an interesting poll. It may have been asked before, but I didn't do any searches. Sorry if it's a repeat.

L5Larry Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 To quote Schroeder from one of the Peanuts/Charlie Brown TV specials, "MUSICIANS don't dance". I've been using that line for 40 years, I didn't even dance at any of my own weddings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Dancing, I believe, is at the heart of most great music...from pagan rituals at the dawn of time, through joyful drumming, then rhythmic melodies thereafter Some musicians like to dance Others 'dance' through their voice or instruments So much great dance on film etc through the 20th century....

saturn Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 SLOW DANCING DOESN'T COUNT ????? without slowly undulating body contact dancing's sort of pointless isn't it?? but thats just me......... Yeah, I know. But even most guys who don't normally dance will get up and slowly rock back and forth with a woman to a romantic song. But as soon as the "fast" stuff comes back on, they're off the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I will "dance" more with a guitar in my hands than a woman. True story I just don't do it. Now, randomly in public with no music playing, I will act like a fool and dance around, but not on a dancefloor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stein Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 if there are 2 things that can get a fool in trouble, it is dancing and playing guitar. perhaps shyness is a natural defence mechanism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Hate it. Never felt like it was something I was good at. Would only do so if it seemed necessary to make um.... progress with a lady. As a married fellow now, there seems to be little point. If my wife is really wanting to dance I will attempt to move with some grace on the dance floor, but I'm generally the guy those who are sitting around refusing to dance point to when they say to their wives... "See, that's why I don't like to dance." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witmer Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I like dancing, but I'm painfully aware of my lack of knowledge and grace. I've promised my wife someday we'll take some classes (she's an encourager, not a mocker, so it won't be bad) and then we can just have fun. For now... it's only slow dancing or being silly at home.

milod Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 When I was in 6th grade, roughly age 12, I swore to myself I'd never go to a dance unless I were playing in the band. Darned near kept that promise. Larry- I resemble that remark. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidl Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Not much of a dancer myself. Don't really get anything out of it but my wife loves to dance, so...I hit the floor with her at every gathering that lends itself to dancing. Doesn't take much to make her day. I'm sure she just goes along with me on other stuff too. I'm learning that life is too short to concern myself about what other people think of my dancing prowess. You gotta be able to laugh at yourself sometimes. I really, really, really don't want to ever take lessons though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tartanbeastie Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Ok, heres my take on dancing, or at least men dancing. Men dance for two reasons, either they are gay or they are trying to get laid!! I've argued this point so many times with female friends and they tell me its just not true till i ask them.. when was the last time you saw a group of guys in a bar or at a party get all giggly and excited and squeal "oh we must go dance to this one" and the said group head to the floor and dance with each other. it just doesnt happen. yes men will go on the dance floor but usually to get closer to the woman they are sniffing round or they will dance with their wife, girlfriend etc because they get bullied into it or made to feel guilty if they dont. but in general, gay or trying to get laid is why and when men dance.. the mating game!! Moshing and po-going arent really dancing so that doesnt count! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flem snopes Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Took me way to long to learn this... 1. Nobody's watching you or cares what you look like when you're dancing. 2. Dancing is foreplay, slow or fast. Don't believe me? Ask a woman. Once I freed my head by observing #1 I had a lot more fun observing #2. Good luck.

retrosurfer1959 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 My wife likes to dance so I stand there shuffling my feet and never moving my hands above my waist, that's as close to dancing as I get unless it's slow dancing. I love to watch women dance - on men it's usually just painful to watch and I do my part to maintain that status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
