How many of you go dancing?

I am taking a ballroom dancing class right now and I am going to go swing dancing this weekend... How many of you dance and how often? If I include the class... then I do about three times a week now. 🙂 But social dances are about once a week...
 
I don't go dancing... but if I've got the appropriate amount of booze in me, and the moon is aligned just so, I might dance a little wherever I am.
 
Never, I hate it. Boring, especially the "club" dancing which I don't really consider dancing anyway. Some other type might be fun I guess though.

You hate dancing? 😵 I can understand maybe the slutty girls and everyone doing cocaine dances, but like... you hate swing dancing and all of the others too?
 
I tried salsa dancing and swing dancing and I am absolutely horrible at it. No rhythm, seriously. But good for you dude, this is a steady supply of tang if you can become a good dancer.
 
I think the people who are actually decent at it look like a bunch of fools. God knows what I'd look like. Closest I ever got was punching someone in the face in time with the beat in the pit of a Korn concert.

Edit: It was a friend. We were "play fighting" I guess.
 
Before I got married I used to go dancing at least once a week.

The women LOVE the dancing ...
 
I used to dance a lot in college. The whole Gap commercial swing craze thing happened right as I became a freshman back in '98 and a couple classes/student clubs opened up. A bunch of us would drive to the Twin Cities and attend workshops, some hosted by Frankie Manning. It was a lot of fun and I got quite good.

The swing dance/music craze pretty much died as quickly as it rose though.

But good for you dude, this is a steady supply of tang if you can become a good dancer.

No doubt. The ratio of women/men is always at least 7:1.

I never tried swing... so like I said some of those types might be fun. I dunno, I just really have no interest in dancing whatsoever.
 
I would have gone to prom but I couldnt get a date, which is a shame because all the others guys could. 9 years later I was forced to attend the Navy Ball. Didnt want to go. Didnt bother finding a date. Left after the entree arrived.
I tried doing the club thing for a little while but I never really got into it. Since around spring of 2000 I havent had the urge to do it.
 
In college I would go at least twice a week, salsa, merengue or bachata. Lately, not so much. I took a few intense swing dance lessons at Dance Manhattan, it's just too complicated for me after already having the others programmed into my body 🙂 Lately, not so much- I wish I did more often though.

I'm glad you found something you enjoy Tridentboy 🙂
 
I tried going to a swing dancing place once. I was terrible at it. TERRIBLE. I had no idea what I was doing, I looked like a dork, and I didn't want to even go out on the floor after one or two bad attempts so I ended up sitting at my group's table the whole time wishing I could just leave. It was miserable.

I hate dancing.

You need to ask someone to help you! People are not out there to hurt you. 🙂
 
I've only really ever danced at clubs, which I frequent about twice a month on average. I would really love to learn some swing, though. Some girls and I were going to check out a swing club in Berlin a few weeks ago but it was closed because of Easter.
 
I hate dancing. I don't get it. I don't enjoy it. I especially hate being forced to dance.

edit: that goes for both informal, party/club dancing as well as formal dances with names like ballroom dancing or swing or any of that.

I have a special, deep seeded hatred for line dancing in all forms.. FUCK THAT SHIT
 
It seems like a good idea to me maybe once every 3 or 4 months, when I'm out at a bar with friends and am already pretty drunk. No way in hell does it ever sound like a good idea when I'm sober.
 
Nope.

Closest I ever came to dancing, in public, was being asked in junior high during one of my school's seasonal dance. Blew her off, but it was pointless anyways. Everyone just "hugged", then motioned in place. I mean, I cringed then, I'm cringing harder describing it now. That is not dancing people!
