I'm a very good dancer, I went clubbing about three nights a week in my 20s and even now do complex choreography high impact step aerobics as my preferred workouts, I also took lots of dance lessons as a child--jazz, tap and ballet and got en pointe before I became a teen and quit, which my giant boobs would have forced me to anyway lol

belletaco · 2016-01-25T23:05:58+00:00

I took dance lessons from ages 3-15, I am awkward, but I am pretty sure im great when im drunk!

I used to be something of a ballerina but notably never danced pas de deux, haha. These days I mostly break it down freestyle at parties and mosh at concerts.

wtknight · 2016-01-25T21:24:02+00:00

I definitely can't dance. I try to focus upon my own strengths when it comes to attracting people, and dancing definitely isn't one of them. I enjoy watching other people dance, though.

PoopInMyBottom · 2016-01-25T22:22:25+00:00

I can dance. Ballroom, salsa and some jazz/swing. It's a skill, anyone can dance.

Dancers tend to socialise more, and they are less afraid of putting themselves out there but apart from that I don't think it really relates to good interpersonal skills. Some of the best dancers in my clubs were absolute social retards.

You're right. Dancing is awesome.

cxj · 2016-01-26T05:14:06+00:00

Fuck no not at all. I wish I could but I am a robot. I'm down to sort of sway around in the middle of a circle of girls while they grind on me because I'm the only guy out with them, though.

PemBayliss · 2016-01-25T20:51:44+00:00

I know I can dance. Singles and couples. Ballroom, modern, jazz.

Papa_Rymski · 2016-01-25T20:52:15+00:00

I don’t think I can at all, but I have lots of people compliment me on it when I do (and yes, genuinely and not ironically).

So … er, don’t know.

LordFishFinger · 2016-01-25T20:56:30+00:00

I can play Stepmania on Easy pretty well.

lauren_collins · 2016-01-25T21:09:10+00:00

i can do the whip and naynay

Ichtragebrille · 2016-01-25T23:16:11+00:00

I teach swing dance on occasion and grew up doing ballet and tap. I can definitely dance and in doing so I think I've improved with reading people. You have to be able to pick up really subtle things in partner dancing.

ArthurMacArthur · 2016-01-25T23:55:02+00:00

Took ballet for fifteen years and was excellent at pointe; alas, we Poles do not have the body type to progress much further at that particular art form. I can waltz, do some swing, and polka. God, polka is fun. And, randomly, I still remember how to do the Virginia Reel, which we learned in high school gym class. In New England. It is quite a fun dance, actually; more people should learn it!

madscientistlove · 2016-01-26T03:03:44+00:00

Yeah, I love belly dancing. I took lessons from an amazing teacher for a couple years. :)

appencapn · 2016-01-26T03:47:54+00:00

Of course. I'm Colombian bro. You gotta be able to cumbia with your gross and sweaty uncle from age of 9 on.

EmpressofMars · 2016-01-26T03:56:13+00:00

Took dance classes for years. Ballet, jazz, modern and even (cringe) hip-hop. Came out of it mediocre at best.

MorpheusGodOfDreams · 2016-01-26T04:50:37+00:00

Tango, Salsa, Rumba, Waltz, Swing, Foxtrot. Dancing is a perfect TRP activity because it generally reinforces gender roles, allows for physical contact, gives coordination and exercise, and is a great hobby for meeting people.

Dancing literally has Lead and Follow roles. It is a lost art that more people need to learn, rather than just grinding in a club like animals. Any couple can learn a lot about each other through dancing and strengthen their relationship.

CreepyPsychoStalker · 2016-01-26T09:41:10+00:00

Reasonably well, I didn't take lessons as a child, but I did took some salsa, zumba and ballroom as an adult and did better than most beginners, not my favourite thing though.

Xemnas81 · 2016-01-26T10:21:22+00:00

No I'm in the top perecentile of severity for Dyspraxia in the UK. #foreveralone

I used to be a boss at Dancing Stage doe.

cloudstryfe · 2016-01-26T12:22:52+00:00

Yup， salsa

ginasaurus-rex · 2016-01-26T12:48:00+00:00

Yes. I've danced most of my life and work in the dance field. Most of my coworkers are also dancers. Parties and events involving dancing are part and parcel of my job. Cypher circles happen on the regular.

That said, my SO is like you. He will join me on the dance floor and do his best, but he's not a dancer. He doesn't need to be a good dancer to be sexy or charming.

rafay_M · 2016-01-26T17:22:35+00:00

lmao. this sub is so ridiculous. i just cant

relationshipdownvote · 2016-01-26T18:24:20+00:00

I am a spectacular, silence-the-room kind of dancer. I always liked dance music and clubs, but I hated standing around because I didn't know how to dance, so I watched some Michael Jackson videos, took a shitty webcam, and recorded myself trying over and over again until I could do those moves well. It took me weeks, and I was made fun of by anyone who saw or heard about it, but eventually I started being pretty good, after that it became fun and now more than 10 years later, it's a skill I can call upon at any function with music to impress everyone in the room.

Juge-Penitent · 2016-01-27T07:58:50+00:00

I own the floor with these movez.

wazzup987 · 2016-01-27T17:27:14+00:00

DivinePrince2 · 2016-02-01T08:59:23+00:00

I can dance, but everything I do is made up by me. So there's no pattern.

People still tell me I'm really good at it, so I guess it works.
