I can floor-glide


I can liquid (though I have a better version of this song than this guy does. Hehe.)

Heh, I remember when those were all parts of break-dancing. What they call break-dancing today is only a small portion of the moves it used to encompass. I used to love watching the guys in public places with their large pieces of cardboard and some real rap playing.

I've lost interest in all that stuff because it's so much different and bastardised from its former "glory". I liked the old school, a lot. That old-school stuff was the sh!t.

That's my problem. I'm far too self-conscious.

Though, truth be known, I was on an Indian (Native American Indian) dance team for about a year and a half when I was a member of the Order of the Arrow (OA). (A cookie for anyone who knows what that is without an Internet search.)

Yeah right.. laugh! But I'm telling you.. the group classes are predominently female and women look differently at a man who can dance!

Dancing will also help you gain confidence in talking to, holding and moving with women.

You know, that really is a good point. I have heard tons of women say that it really is a big deal to them when a guy can dance. Some women talk like there is nothing hotter a guy can do than dance well. I really see the advantages. But it is just is not my area. I think you have to be able to feel at least something from dancing to ever be good at it, and the feeling dancing gives me is like the feeling a card trick gives a moose.

My hips won't go, my body can't shimmy, my feet like to stay in one place. It is tragic, i tell you. My friends tried to teach me once and I tried...they said "Oh Rachel, you're so cute!!!!" Of course I was determined and frustrated so I pouted and replied "I don't want to be cute, i want to be sexy!!" Then they laughed.

Awww. Tragic is right.

LOL. Also tragic...but hilarious.

OMG I love to dance! I was throwing some serious shapes last night - We went to this club and it was dead, like people leaving and stuff, so me and my mates got up on the dance floor and the club soon filled and everyone was dancing! It was awesome

Also reminds me when I went to Austria, there was this like podium stage thing in the club out there, they were playing like this real dirty German techno or something like that, I don't really remember too much about it, except for the fact I dragged my mates up onto this stage and we were dancing for all the Austrian's haha! We were so English, we stood out like a sore thumb because all the Austrian guys were all standing on the edge of the dance floor and we were the only guys 'gettin our thang on' - Oh the memories - I have more stories, but I don't think they are appropriate hehe.

Sometimes it's fun to get liquidy with the music... let it flow through you. Just maintain the beat.

Heh, the only type of dancing I can do with any proficiency is head banging. I have the hair for it.


If I could magically learn any dance it would probably be the tango, I've loved it since I was a weeee little girl. I'll probably never take dance classes though, cause I'm not the most confident or graceful person in the world.

Also, Krumping is really intense, but I've never seen a chick do it, and I'm not a part of that whole scene to begin with, so it wouldn't do me a whole lot of good.

i jam out sometimes, mostly at concerts...but i do. not like a certain type just whatever i feel like, my friend taught me salsa a couple yrs ago but i sort of forgot =/

I was at a wedding yesterday so there was a fair mix of young and old people. During one of the hip hop songs a man and a woman came up and started ball room dancing (or some non-pop culture form of dancing). It was perfectly on beat and actually looked really good, everyone started cheering them on. I think I was the most shocked though... they were my parents

I wanna learn to do that. O_O

Have your parents teach you!

I love dancing too.
I've tried lots of different styles of dancing but my favourite at the moment is probably hip hop. I'm not very good at dancing though, so i only dance in the privacy of my own home or at this dancing class i sometimes go to, never in public or any other sort of informal social setting.

Hey, O, I just looked at those videos. How did you learn to floor glide? Show me show me show me.

Im big into Liquid dancing. Here is a video of me and my buddy. There is no sound, but we had techno blasting in the background. Its not my best performance, by far, but its good enough. Im the one not wearing a hat, and Im really drunk.

Cold - Actually, I learned by just watching clips of other people do it, and I figured it out, but here are a couple of good tutorials that I found on youtube.

will.i.am - LOL! Nice video, man.

And, yeah, I've been known to burn a loose shirt or two, while dancing with a cigarette in my hand. Lol

That's awesome, thanks O. I actually managed to get the most basic one today at school. I just kinda glided around during random conversations... it's actually pretty easy.

Gonna try the more complicated ones soon.

I've been Swing Dancing for about 3 1/2 years now. Mostly social swing like West coast lindy hop, charleston, balboa and blues....good times

Haha, now that was awesome, at least he's exercising though, funny stuff though.

I'm not sure what i like in terms of dancing, i've never really tried it, except that dancing game for the playstation, boy that brings back memories *random flashback* woah!!! Sorry about that...

i looooove to dance!! I do tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, modern, uhhh pretty much everything. but i never did ballroom, or belly dancing. My favorite's lyrical or it's called contemporary if u know it by that. I've been dancing for 15 years, and i plan to for more years!! Dance just makes me feel amazing it expresses my feelings. I don't know how people can not love to dance. Without dance, i would probably be so depressed because whenever i'm sad i go in my basement and just dance! haha i'm such a loser, but i could talk for hours about dance so i'll stop now.
Keep dancing!

Last dance I learned was Crank that Soulja Boy.
