At gigs… If it moves me yes! Memorable was an And Yet It Moves gig in a Brighton pub, where everyone was crammed to the front of the stage, leaving the whole rear area of the pub free. I was a whirling dervish. That space was MINE baby 😀 Love it.
IDLES gig a couple of years ago, I even moshed for the first time in 30+ years. I was in that pit.
Next day had my TIA, but it was worth it, maaan. 😆
People tend to forget…. Dancing makes you feel good!
Bustin’ makes me feel good.
And to the original question: yes, but badly. I’m particularly shameless after a beer or two, at which point I’ll decide I can even dance salsa or whatever 😀
As often as my aching bones allow , including a northern soul session in the middle of inners campsite the other weekend.
Passers by were bemused.
I can’t do drops etc now but bloody hell I used to be a great soul dancer.
Yes, when clubbing back in the 90s and 00s. Haven’t done so since a stag party in 2004-ish.
It would take a lot of alcohol to get me going but, but once I was on the floor or in amongst the throng then there was no stopping me. I can still do some of the moves now and would probably go for it in the right environment. That said, I don’t drink anymore so perhaps I wouldn’t.
Yup, years of rock and roll in a club, and any dance that’s in fassion. Still a pogoing punk at heart though. I find it hard to play guitar sitting down. so much easier to get into the grove if you can move.
I’ve been known to bounce up and down in an enthusiastic fashion at gigs, but these days my knees really aren’t even up to doing that.
But I’ll still be right at the front if at all possible. Be interesting to see what Bob Mould at The Thekla will be like next year.
Not sure, looking back, if you’d call it dancing, but in the late 90’s, early 2000’s I was moving my body in rhythmically with the help of various substances. Mostly in London and mostly in clubs that no longer exist.
Nearly got into a fight at a Stones gig at Millennium Stadium for dancing. Two miserable **** behind took exception to it. What’s that all about? They wanted to sit and take video on their phones I think.
Can doctors prescribe dancing? They should.

Ah man! Gawd knows what some people think they’re doing at gigs! I was with a woman once (met via a gig buddies online thing) and a bunch of girls in front were dancing – she leant forward and told them off. I was out of there (once the band had finished!). Bizarre.
We were at a wedding do on Saturday night. The kids were all going bananas on the dance floor. Someone noted, whimsically, that it would be great to be like that again and just go mental on the dancefloor. Mrs Binners interjected that there was absolutely no reason why we couldn’t, so we all did.
It was ace! We all realised just how much we’d missed it 😀
