yeah i can kinda dance. i copy the people who can dance. however most who can dance are girls, so i think i dance kinda like a girl. lol.

i can liquid kinda. im not good... but i can look alright for about a minutes :eek: im learning to pop... which is sweet. i can wave and glide...

Oh soooo not true... dance moves always have a girly way to do them... and then a way to make it look more powerful and masculine. You just gotta find a way to alter it. Poppin is fun... I know a lot of dancers practice in front of a mirror just to try moves and see if they look good/proper form. I used to know how to swing (Lindy Hop), salsa, and a little rumba too on top of hip-hop/street style... having rhythm helps, if you're part of the Rhythmless Nation... you are SOL.

thats true. i dont know if i do it though hah. popping looks awesome... breaking looks pretty stupid imo, its not dancing as much as it is gymnastics. yeah i try to practise in front of the mirror, but i dont know what im doing. haha. can you pop? how did you learn? i dont know anyone who can...

be honest: how many of you are the type who stand around in a dance and bob. haha. bobbers are hilarious :D i have a white friend who is a bobber :p

I'm a damn good liquider since I've been doing it for many years, and the traditional college dancing (booty, whatever you want to call the dance college students do at frat parties) comes pretty easily to me now that I've been doing it for 2 years.

Start going to parties and just get out on the floor. You'll look like an ass for a little while, after a month or so you should pick it up.

I gave it up for political reasons. The best way is to learn from a woman, assuming you are a man, or pick up moves by hanging out in dance clubs.

Every guy if he happens to be a Paleface. I've yet to see a white guy dance that doesn't look like a Dork or a Swish. Brothers on the other hand get down.

I beg to differ :D

No. A couple girls I know are trying to remedy that, but I'm still holding strong.

Yeah, i can dance, although, i wouldnt really call "freaking" dancing. I can swing, do some ballroom, salsa, etc. I love to polka too!

No i can't. I've never danced other than slow dancing which really doesn't count cause it requires absolutely no skill. This is a problem though, as I'm supposed to go to a friend's prom with her, and they're all going to a club... and I can't dance! oh sh!t :p

I dont step onto the dance floor until i've had at least 6 drinks and they've started to take effect. :)
