Tell me .. do you dance?

[Clairity]

I have been ballroom dancing (salsa, cha-cha, rhumba, swing, waltz, etc.) for a little over 4 years now and I wish I had started as a child cuz I love it so much. Does anyone else out there dance .. be it ballroom, country/western, tap, ballet, jazz, club or even belly? If so, which dance and for how long? If not, but would like to start.. which dance would you like to learn?

[Mes Tarrant]

I've never taken classes but "So You Think You Can Dance" makes me wish my parents had forced me to as a child! Hmm I would love to learn Irish Stepdancing.. something Indian like Bharahanatyam (something like that, too lazy to google the exact name). Okay FINE I googled it. That's how you spell it and here is a pic: I think I'd like to learn ballroom as well. Not so much into contemporary...

Does pole dancing count? just kidding

[pj]

Heaven... I'm in heaven And my heart beats so that I can hardlly speak And I seem to find the happiness I seek When we're out together dancin' cheek to cheek Cheek to cheek - it's the only way I've ever danced. Otherwise, my preference is to be on stage hiding behind an instrument.

[Oneironaut Zero]

just kidding Liar! Haha But yeah, I love dancing, and I know a few different styles, most of them hip hop and techno based. I do a lot of popping, which is the style that the guys in the white vests are doing (once they all take off their jackets) and I'm slowly learning how to lock, which is what the guys in the black shirts are doing. Video I can floor-glide I can liquid (though I have a better version of this song than this guy does. Hehe.) And I eventually intend to learn some breakdancing moves: (The guy in the beginning of that video is fucking amazing, and the rest of the vid is great too, but damn, that guy is crazy. I don't have the upper-body strength for all of that. Haha.) And here is a nice little popping battle between two girls and two guys. The guy in the hat, Salah, is one of the best poppers/wavers I've ever seen, his moves are absolutely surreal. The part where he drops down on his back looks like it defies gravity. Simply awesome. The girl with the ponytail is pretty tight, too. Battle Oh, and I've been dancing, off and on, since I was like 17-18 or so, and I also wanna take Salsa lessons.

Does pole dancing count? Only if you're good at it! And here is a nice little popping battle between two girls and two guys. The guy in the hat, Salah, is one of the best poppers/wavers I've ever seen, his moves are absolutely surreal. The part where he drops down on his back looks like it defies gravity. Simply awesome. The girl with the ponytail is pretty tight, too. Battle That Salah is unreal.. it just doesn't seem humanly possible to move like that! The girls held their own (especially the girl with the ponytail)! Oh, and I've been dancing, off and on, since I was like 17-18 or so, and I also wanna take Salsa lessons. I would so love to teach you!

[Clairity]

But the bad thing is that not many guys know how to dance and I really like partner dancing. I love partner dancing (which is why I ballroom dance) but as you stated, there is a HUGE shortage of guys that know how!

[Oneironaut Zero]

I would so love to teach you! I would sssoooooo love for you to teach me.

[Clairity]

I would sssoooooo love for you to teach me. Deal.. my next lucid then!

[Oneironaut Zero]

Deal.. my next lucid then! Sounds good. And I'm a fast learner, so I may surprise you.

[Clairity]

Sounds good. And I'm a fast learner, so I may surprise you. Promises promises! We'll see!

[orange_entity]

No I don't dance and I haven't learn because I'm too self-conscious. Ballroom dancing would be interesting to learn though.

[Xox]

I love belly dancing!!! Wooo-hooooo for Shakira.

[IZ]

Yeah, I'm one of those guys that doesn't know how to dance. I would like to learn, but I always thought that one day I would have a gf that would teach me how, but sadly that hasn't happened yet.

[Man of Shred]

I love salsa dancing... at least I've loved it from afar. I do plan to take lessons someday

[Universal Mind]

I can get something out of slight body movements if I am listening to a song I really love, but as for big time movement dancing, it does absolutely nothing for me. I feel nothing. I might as well be walking around in small circles.

[Spartiate]

I can dance James Bond style with a girl, but alone I just look like I have a dozen bees stuck in my crotch .

[Phydeaux_3]

I don't know much about dancin', That's why I got this song, One of my legs is shorter than the other, And both of my feets too long. 'Course now right along with them, I got no natural rythm, But I go dancing every night, Hoping one day I might get it right! I'm a dancing fool! I hear that beat, I jump outta my seat, But I can't compete, 'Cause I'm a..... Dancing fool!

[CoLd BlooDed]

I improvise. For instance, one of the girls in the picture I posted not too long ago, we broke out in spontaneous '50s dance (to some Grease music, of course) and were perfectly in time and everything. You would've thought we planned it out or something. I can moonwalk and do trippy stuff with my feet, too. Other than that, no, I can't "officially" dance.

Well, I went ballroom dancing last night and decided to sign up for Argentine Tango lessons! Here's a clip of Argentine Tango: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEfCDWLwp-4 For you guys out there, if you are shy or are just open to new things.. I would strongly recommend ballroom dancing! 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.

Glad to see a thread about dancing! I love to dance, although I tend to favour an earthy freestyle over anything too technical. My freestyle edges a little toward camp, though. I always wanted to learn the tango. Dark and aggressive... yummy.

I breakdance at bars and clubs sometimes, I'm pretty good at it. I can also do select ballroom dances.

[Amethyst Star]

I usually tell people that I don't dance, but that's not entirely true. I will dance with a group of really good friends, around whom I am not embarassed to move. I'd love to learn something more structured, though, but with some of those dances (like that Argentinian Tango), I'd probably get so focused that I'd stop breathing. ...a bad habit of mine. Breathing is a good thing.
