[Closed] do you dance?

are you asking?

I do, I'm not ashamed. and I don;t even have kids.

Only time I have ever danced is in HMV when with my 14 year old son.

He seems to have started buying all his music online, for some reason.

Yes, go clubbin' on occasion with some mates their partners/wifes, MrsBouy and I rock out Us.

F%^ YEAH!
You shoulda seen me down the front on Friday night!
To this

(Although that was the encore it was my least fave thing they did)

Taught me everything I know! Well.... about dancing anyway. Oh.... and drugs too

No. Can't stand it. I think it looks bloody stupid and I've no inclination to do it even though I don't mind looking stupid. I'm usually the guy found propping up the bar chuckling at the wacky dancing going on around me, but each to his/her own.

I'm the current inter-county Wii Dancing Champion.

It's my surname but I don't, therefore I should be called Steve Doesnotdance. 😐 No rhythm at all. Always thought I called dance to drum and bass but that was my deluded mind due to disco biscuits.

No, not usually. When I dance it's like I have both my feet nailed to the floor. I have no sense of rhythm. I was at a wedding over the weekend and flatly refused to get up and dance.

since I turned 50 I lost all sense of rhythm. I used to be Ok but now? I can't even do the dad dance 🙁

Ah bless. Feel a bit left out cos the blokes what can dance get the ladies round them eh?

Diddums.

I'm a Champion Bogler, me. Proper good at dancin and that. Probbly one of the best dancers on here in fact. Especially enjoy the jealous looks of the boring uptight repressed blokes standing lonely at the bar who have no sense of rhythm....

My 15-year old son does a very good impression of me 'dancing'. Sort of like a cross between Wham! and Tavares but only very small movements 🙂

I was at a wedding over the weekend and flatly refused to get up and dance.

This is especially annoying at those stupid Irish-themed weddings they do with that barn dancing lark they do whatever it is called.

binners - who is that confident looking feller in the picture? I like the cut of his jib!

Nah, I get embarrassed even trying to dance in an empty room.

Like no one's watching....

elfin you little trouble starter, strolling into my thread trying to start fights with people who feel different from you! i dont dance but, and i'm guessing its down to my beautiful face, i've always been surrounded by laideez whilst my 'dancing mates' get laughed at by the girls sober enough to use their eyes 😛

I hate it when you are happily nursing a pint at a wedding and some stupid idiot takes it upon themselves to assume you are lonely and tries to drag you up to dance.

I agree, the wife really should know better by now.

Ps. I (usually) need some beer first.

Yeah. Let's be honest, it's brilliant.

And I feel sorry for anybody who thinks 'dancing'= what happens at weddings or inbetween fights on a Saturday night down your local Roxy.

Good clubs, good music and dancing= ace.

[i]This is especially annoying at those stupid Irish-themed weddings they do with that barn dancing lark they do whatever it is called[/i]

Kaylee or summink? That's not dancin', that's running round in circles linking arms!

Yep, only really like dancing to certain types of music though. Put on some funky psychedelic house/trance and I'm gone, solid gone. 🙂

😀

Had to be said though din't it?

Actually I fancy a little dance right now as it goes...

(Puts Annie Mac mix on)

I dance at any opportunity, always have. When I used to go clubbing Me and my mates used to spend a lot of time on the dancefloor.

[i]I'm usually the guy found propping up the bar chuckling at the wacky dancing going on around me, but each to his/her own[/i]

Nothing to laugh at, its just people having fun. You're the one thats missing out.

Bez - the Happy Mondays "dancer"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bez_%28dancer%29

Mitch - that is/was a role model for a generation. Worryingly, amongst me and my mates, that statement was actually true

I danced ballet/contemporary till I was 17. My best mate went to Laban and then lived in NYC/Athens as a dancer. We were in the straight minority so lots of fun. Was very fit when I danced and a huge amount of time was spent developing 'long' muscles. Had some great times dancing with AMP and dv8.

Had to be said though din't it?

<serious mode>not really, some people dont enjoy dancing and belittling them isnt a kind thing to do.... sometimes that disliking for dancing comes from a very deep psychological place born from a crushing low self esteem and often embarrassing moments as a child. not really fair to try and wind people up about it</serious mode>

I am a dancing legend*, so take every opportunity to throw some shapes.

* this view may only be held by the beer-affected version of me

Long story…

Back in 2004 I wanted to go skiing with my wife and a big group of mates and their wives. My wife wasn’t keen but said she would if : 1) I bought her a Helly Hanson ski jacket and 2) Signed up for a course of dancing lessons. I thought that was a fair deal as it was only for 10 weeks. We were still going 5 years later. 8-( Birth of second child put a stop to it.

Tango, Paso, Waltz and Cha-Cha are ace.
Jive and Quickstep are good fun but for lighter people than me with better control and proper shoes.
Rumba is bloody difficult.
You can stick the Samba up your ass.
The rest I forget.

One of my greatest regrets in life was crossing a Piazza in Venice in the early hours of the morning with a few drinks onboard. Just me and the wife and a busker with an accordion playing a tango. The wife wanted to dance and I didn’t. I wish I had.

So… yes I can dance. But I’m rubbish at it.

I loev a good dance... often need some form of encouragement though.

Probbly one of the best dancers on here in fact.

Sir, I challenge you to a dance off!

[img] [/img]

Phil's right. My mate what I goes to gigs with doesn't dance at all.
Stands there nodding his head while bounce around all over the place. S'cool 🙂

I love dancing, I think people love my dancing too, they gets mesmerised!

I used to be a clubber & DJ, now my dancing is for parties/weddings and things, they don't appreciate my style as much, bit still always get comments from the women... oh yea!
Not sure if I'm remembered for the right reasons tho, but I have been told I got da moves! 😉

Bogle Dezzy, [i]Bogle[/i]!!!!

Shuffelin, shuffelin...

That has the makings of a good terrace chant 😉

My mate Jeff goes like a burning Tibettan monk when he's had a drink or two. His antics to Sweet Child Of Mine on my stag do have become the stuff of legend.

I love dancing, can't help it, I dance anywhere if there's music. I don't think I'm any good, but I don't care, I love it. 🙂

I am an orange and orange's don't dance. A snippet of infomation that has stayed with me since my ravey days.

Son does.

Ballet mainly - gets quite a bit of stick at shool, mainly from the boys. The girls seem quite supportive - perhaps the other boys are a bit on the jealous side.

Doesn't get it from me mind.....

Sir, I challenge you to a dance off!

😮

Ye, sir, are naught but a bounder and a cad, but I [i]accept[/i] your challenge!

At Hit The North it shall be.

And when I am done, the North Shall Tremble...

Not if I can help it really. I used to happily drunkenly jump about at rock/metal clubs or gigs if you can call that dancing, but other than that I just don't really know what to do with myself and end up shuffling about feeling a bit daft.

This is especially annoying at those stupid Irish-themed weddings they do with that barn dancing lark they do whatever it is called.

See, I don't mind ceilidhs(?) maybe because you're not out there on your own wondering what to do- I'll have a go at those.

I frug to car alarms.

I think it was something I ate.

We're fracking trembing enough at the mo Elf, but we'll give you a shout if we need you, ta.

I did once pole dance* with two (male) gay dancers in 'Fudge' gay bar in Leeds. They had just come back from a season in Ibeeefa and were mad as sticks. I think my friends were on the verge of walking out and leaving me to it.

*Not real pole dancing - just a pole in the bar that we pretended was a proper pole dancing pole.

I was very drunk.

Not as much as i used to, but yes.

40s/50s jive these days 🙂

Do you know the old (younger, up all night) version of me was? 🙂

There's a gay bar in Leeds called Fudge? My brother-in-law nearly ended up in a gay night in that Laaaaahndon simply called "Cock"

He only knew this as he walked into what he thought was a standard boozer, when the bouncer casually inquired: "Are you here for Cock, sir?"

[i]i fully suspect that having a mini-rave to myself listening to dirty drum and bass whilst she's trying to do something important isnt the kinda dancing she'd love me to join her in! [/i]
😆 😆

IATTQ.

Nope !.

I iz 42 yearsez old and aint dancin for nobody.

Don't be daft, we're married.

I think he may have been commenting on the prowess of Venetian prostitutes Harry

Where's me vid gone? 😕

Binners; me and me mates always got asked by bouncers if we were sure if we were at the right place, whenever we tried to get into some Gay club or other. 😀 We mustuv looked a bit too 'straight'. Thing was, it were the Gay clubs which had the best soundz. And invariably, there would be loads of straight women in 'em too. The 'Gay Scene' was the most open, uninhibited (!) scene going, and you woon't get any of that boozy macho bullshit you'd find in other clubs. Never a bad night out.

I find it easier whilst wearing a hat, truth be known.

Found it! It was lurking on the 'nuke Iran' thread for some bizarre reason...

Noteeth; you've got to be careful wearing hats, as you can become overheated.

There's a gay bar in Leeds called Fudge?

Venetian prostitutes

Is there anything worse than suddenly coming round to find yourself on the dance floor with no idea how you got there, how long you've been there, what the hell you might have been doing while there and realising you now need an escape route to the bar which will avoid catching anybody's eye.

I do, I'm proper rubbish though. Even my wife abandons me on the dance floor hoping I'll stop. I don't. I carrys on and likes it.

Dancing is ace, it's such a good workout. Pity there aren't any decent places to dance for the over 40's.

I dance in the kitchen, in the shower, everywhere that a good tune is playing, can't get enough.

I'm the official unofficial celebrity transvestite robot groupie/dancer for the band Evil Scarecrow. I'm a proper bad dancer but dress me up as Slagbot (for the is 'her' name) and those same moves (including the Moonwalk, the Vegas Era Elvis, Woman Off Tales Of The Unexpected Titles, Woman Off Shake and Vac Advert) look like something that'd have 'her' winning Strictly Come Dancing.

[i]"Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire"[/i]
George Bernard Shaw

Don't be daft, we're married.

Dancing is to me, one of life's great pleasures. And I don't mean your extremely regimented ballroom dancing (though if it's for you, fair enough), I just mean getting my groove on anywhere and everywhere any decent music is playing.

In a club, I've always been the one dragging my mates (always begrudgingly) to the dance floor, and I'm usually the last one off (as long as the music is half decent). But then that could explain why I've always had a good sense of rhythm, been a DJ for years and am now doing a music production degree... Perhaps! 😉

In all seriousness though, Elf I'm gonna try and get down to that London sometime soon, you are taking me out for a night of some serious boogie fella. I've not had a good dance in ages, all my local clubs just play cheesy shite all the time. I'm feeling the NEED you could say! Oh and in case anybody is wondering, no you don't need booze or any other helpers to dance, just relax and let the music take you!

DON'T ever ask me to sing though... Couldn't do it if my life depended on it!

Not. A. Chance.

The Elf's gonna take you to a place you've [i]never[/i] bin before...

[i]it were the Gay clubs which had the best soundz.[/i]

this.

Off my face checking out all the girls that might...god i love all that. 😀

Depends on how you define dancing. I'm pretty good at the pogo. And I have been known to slam, when the mood takes me. Occasionally I come out of retirement and teach the youngsters how to bang their heads.

Never seen any of these proper dance moves on Strictly though.

There's dancing, and there's The Mamushka!

my hero 😉

errrr...

whenever I can. It's a great thing to do, but just don't get much chance these days.

It's also a great vertical expression of a horizontal desire 😉

Elfin throwin down some phat shapes 😀

dance in a formal ballroom, latin stylee...No

soon sussed out an early age that the best place to meet lovely goth ladies was on the dance floor dancing to stuff that my mates thought was too girly..... they wondered why an ugly muggins like me managed to end up so much female interest 😀

so a tazzy mating dance to the sisters of mercy in a sea of dry ice and strobe lights Oh yes indeedy

Yeah I love it almost as much as MTBing.

I rave, I don't dance.

so why did I loose all sense of rhythm as I passed 50?
