The picture for this article is cute. <3

I can't dance for crap x__x So I wouldn't care or hold it to someone else who couldn't.

I don't have specific dance moves. I just put my arms above my head and move my hips around as if I was a belly dancer one time I was so hyper that I think I was almost tap dancing with my high heels or what is also known as a 2step jive move or something that I was unaware that I was doing until I watched ballroom dancing. I duno wtf I was doing at the time, but I wanted to change my usual booty shake. freestyle dancing is fun I remember at high school dances, some guys actually paid to get into the dance, but once they got there, they immediately found a place to sit down so that they can watch other people having fun, which is creepy and lame. at night clubs that I went to during college, I noticed some guys just sit at the tables staring at other people dancing. I didn't notice anybody on the dance floor with actual dancing skills, so everybody blended in and danced in whichever direction the music moved their sexy body nothing to be embarrassed about really...however, I did notice this guy, who was standing with his friends while casually tapping one foot to the beat lol he seemed too cool to dance or he simply didn't know how to dance, so I don't blame him, but he caught my attention.

I agree that I need space to dance because some clubs are so crowded that I barely have elbow room. my dancing is all sorts of jumpy spider monkey as if I was a mime climbing or swinging on a tree. I can't really describe it, but it is unique:D I also need the right type of music to get me in the mood to dance. if I'm not feeling the music, I won't move my body

@LogicalFallaciesXx@xanga - I like this.

I can't dance, but I can talk (sometimes). When I dance, it's either The Robot or I do something that looks a little like Michael Stipe dancing in that "Losing My Religion" video. It's not that I don't like to make a fool of myself, but my sense of rhythm and cadence (if you will) are actually developed in language, so that's much more preferred. I do kinda wish I could swing dance, but whatever. I'm more interested in other things. That being said, I do hold something of an odd standard, 'cause I like people who can dance. I suppose they show a more physical sense of being social, which I appreciate - maybe because it balances out my (polar-opposite) cerebral approach to being social.

Dancing skills don't mean anything to me. It's something that can be learned. Same with attitude etc;

You're right.  It's moreso about attitude and not actually dancing skill.  Who cares if the audience make fun of you?  Go out and have fun!!

I can't "dance dance" (with a girl) so instead I learned to bboy (breakdance). 

Breakdancing is a better dancestyle for men because you don't really need to be fluid or coordinate with a partner;  instead, you need upperbody strength and you DEFINITELY need to be athletic for some of the advance moves like handstands and spin moves.

And you still get ladies to be impressed. :P

What about people who don't dance just because they can't? Some people just don't have a good sense of rhythm.

@LogicalFallaciesXx@xanga -   You made my day, We need more females as such.

there are several reasons for men to learn how to dance.  i used to dance by myself a lot at clubs and raves (i never had a date).  i just learned to do my own thing.  one of my fondest memories is of a girl telling me that she liked how i danced; as it kind of implied i was not completely graceless.

learning how to dance with a girl is different.  there the idea is that yes, dancing with a partner is a beautiful thing, it's a mode of communication and physicality that really should bring pleasure to everyone.  i suppose the problem is that men can fear looking awkward through lack of practice, and some of us worry it's a bit sissy.

i ended up taking dance lessons for a couple of years.  as with many things. if you worry about looking like a dork, then practice.  learn.  it's not that hard.  you may never be a baryshnikov but it provides us fellas with a wonderful way to impress ladies and it's a confidence booster non pareil.  and best of all, it's really really fun.

anyone want to go to this?  there are lots of fun dance events in nyc...

I don't dance, but i'm an oddball. I talk to my animals in baby voices, call my mom's horse a cat, and i used to give my best friend a t- shirt every year which told her how "fluffy" she is. When i was in high school, i went thru a jewelry phase, even though i'm a straight male. I got some shit for that. So i definitely don't consider myself someone who takes themselves too seriously.
