Does anyone out there like to dance

I hate dancing. I feel like an awkward self-conscious fool. I will be surprized if anyone out there says: yes I love dancing. But who knows?
 
I do dance, I don't hate it.. but only at goth raves, and I haven't been to one for over a year.

Most important thing probably is that the music I dance to is ok with me, and I'm quite picky on what song I'm dancing to. I don't start the argument if I'm a good dancer, but at least... yeah, if I go out I tend to dance if music allows for it.
 
I love to dance but generally only dance when alone at home. I think that my dancing is probably on the dorky side, but I will dance at weddings once in awhile. Nearly everyone at a wedding dances badly.
 
I am just not able to dance in any way at all to any kind of music and I gave up trying in my early teens which was a very long time ago.
 
not really, sometimes i do when i am by myself in the house, particularly when doing housework but its more trying to burn a few extra calories and to help keep the momentum up.
 
I love dancing. The issue is finding a willing partner. Plus I don't like dancing with just anyone. He has to dance well and smell good.
 
I'm terribly embarassed to dance in front of other people. I'll slow dance, and I danced to normal speed songs at my wedding (because I was drinking) but other than that, the only time I dance is when I'm home alone and cleaning or something.
 
I love to dance, just don't do it very gracefully. I took ballet lessons as a kid and really enjoyed that, I didn't do that well either! I do it because the music moves me, more so than to look like Fred Astaire while I'm doing it.
 
As a kid I did some ballet & I was pretty good at it. There was also an accompanying tap class that I sucked at in a way that defies description. It was BAAAD: like someone stomping out bugs on the floor. As I got older, any coordination & rhythm left me & now dancing is not something I'd ever do. Probably wind up with my legs tangled like a pretzel!
 
I did do tap and ballet when I was a kid, I was very bad at it, and i couldn't remember the steps there are photos of me looking at the other kids and trying to copy them.
 
It's ok if we are bad in dancing, and feel awkward. So long as we feel the beat and rhythm of dance, it's ok :)

I dance but I seldom dance, though. I like street dancing.
 
It's been 15 years since I last danced.

Not that I dislike dancing, just the situations in which people end up dancing, because there's lost of boozin' it up in those areas around here.
 
I only dance when I'm at a show and I've been drinking. It looks terrible, but sometimes I just can't help myself.

I love the sound of tap dancing, but only if it is done with skill and precision. Like Lord of the Dance and Celtic dances. It becomes part of the rhythm of the music. The music would be lacking a vital element without the dancers tapping out the beat.

Makes me think of these guys. They have a tapdancer as the percussion element. Gimmicky, but they're a lot of fun. (I've been known to dance like an idiot at their shows, hehe)

I tried dancing but people used to point and laugh and the girls I danced with refused to go back to the dance floor with me. When I was in Los Angeles I went to Salsa dance classes but fewer women would dance with me each week so I stopped going.
 
I really really really wish I could dance.

Not Salsa, or Disco, or Jive, or anything real. But I'd like to be able to sway without looking like a twat at the Pub.
 
I like to dance but im reallly bad at it and self conscious about it. often times I will stay to the side and then randomely jump in only to eventually go back to the side. I feel better when I'm dancing with my friends by me but gennerally prefer to dance alone where its dark and some distance from others, atleast when i start out.
