    You can dance if you want to, you can leave your friends behind...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,903 ✭✭✭frozenfrozen


    only after 2am


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,453 ✭✭✭Shenshen


    Nope.
    I was even forced by my parents to attend ballroom dancing lesson when I was a teenager. I hate dancing with quite a passion. Any kind of dancing, no exceptions.

    I can't dance, sing or talk.

    Thankfully I have a perfect body with a perfect face, and a fairly nifty walk.

    .. . .Cause your friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, well they're no friends of mine. :D

    I really can't, I have the co-ordination of a newborn foal.

    But after a bottle of wine, I'm Beyonce.

    I was dancing with my darling the night they were playing the beautiful Tennessee waltz.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 250 ✭✭lachin


    I think I'm the number 1 dancer of a dance troupe in my head and dance like that.

    I've been told though I've as much rhythm as a heifer!

    Doesnt stop me!

    Yeah but what way was your towel hanging?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,568 ✭✭✭candy-gal1


    Been told I can, so im going to say yes, you never really know if you can dance unless you can see yourself dancing which more than likely you cant, imho anyway :)

    You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
    Love like you'll never be hurt,
    Sing like there's nobody listening,
    And live like it's heaven on earth.”

    William W. Purkey.

    The important bit is bolded.
    If you can't dance it only matters if you want to, and you're letting what others think stop you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,754 ✭✭✭Itwasntme.


    Yes. I love dancing. I dance all the time, everywhere: while waiting for the bus; if a song I really like comes on, I stop and dance for a bit; in my room; in the shower....sometimes I am good, sometimes I am crap. I am one of those people who can't walk anywhere without music. Even if it's just to the shops and back.

    Have I given this way more thought than was expected and or required?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,649 ✭✭✭Catari Jaguar


    I love dancing, even if I was terrible I would still do it. Can't help it. But yea, am so awesome at dancing I have recently been banned from dancing at my friend's gigs by his girlfriend. :cool:

    Edit: Maybe I just look like this though and she's trying to save them from the distraction of my tragically bad dancing

    Yes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,438 ✭✭✭✭El Guapo!


    I like to think I can dance.
    I tried it last night. I was wrong.
    Very wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,048 ✭✭✭demakinz


    No i can't dance. i'm never on the dance floor at anything.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,972 ✭✭✭orestes


    Yup, years of ballroom and latin dance lessons, thanks to unusually sadistic parents. It's a pain in the arse when people find out cos they insist on trying to make you dance with them. Just cos I can dance, doesn't mean I can make you be able to. It takes two to tango, literally.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,887 ✭✭✭Mariasofia


    Sober ...... I'm like someone with Tourette's .
    With a few on board ....... I'm da bomb shmokin ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,730 ✭✭✭✭entropi


    I want to take lessons to learn some classic styles and dance properly. Dancing, I'm not sure. Probably have some rhythm though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 66 ✭✭AzN


    I'd be way too shy and self-conscious to dance in front of people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,331 ✭✭✭SparkySpitfire


    I can't dance. I can't talk. Only thing about me is the way that I walk.

    When I was eleven, my mom wanted to me to dance in ballet classes. It never happened of course but I could have been a prima donna bona fide contender, dammit!

    They just want you to be the Johnny to their Baby and have the Time of their Life. :P

    For me, there is no greater pleasure than hitting the dance floor and shaking what I've got to the beat of the music!

    That movie can go fukk right off. Same goes for Strictly Ballroom. :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,696 ✭✭✭Lisha


    Yes I can dance.
    Trouble is I dance extremely badly .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,785 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles-old


    Surprised I wasn't f*cked out of the nightclub last night....I'm a horrible dancer.

    If dancing consists of getting drunk, staggering around the dance floor while waving your hands around, then yes I can dance.:D

    The question shouldn't be "Can you dance?" because really everyone can dance... But can they dance well? lol.

    I can waltz or I can do some swing dance, can I do it well? I don't know!

    Can I dance? No!
    Do I dance? F*ck yes!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 83 ✭✭armaghbhoy


    I can dance a bit how you would normally with a girl ( I'm not sure what you call it, swinging maybe?) and a couple of other moves but other than that I'm not really good at dancing

    I do capoeira with the girls. It is a form of martial arts dance which people generally only know from the old BBC program intro. It is great for keeping fit.

    However it is entirely useless if used in a fight as the only person you would likely hurt is yourself.

    It is also entirely useless on an actual dance floor as in this case you will hurt others - as well as yourself.

    But it is pretty good as a party piece and for keeping fit and muscular and tight and so forth.

    Other than that? Can not really dance no. Did a few months of salsa in college but need to take it up again.

    Don't see the need to ever dance ..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 471 ✭✭OrgasmicBaz


    When im sober, no.

    But after a few JD's im like Fandango


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 221 ✭✭qwerty93


    If I could pick any talent in the world to have, I would probably pick dancing. As a 10 year old boy I had 2 or 3 lessons but then I gave up because I was a lazy fcuker. I honestly think theres nothing more manly and irish than a spot of sean nos. And no I cant dance, but am always on the dancefloor in a nightclub, I think I just sing the words of the song that is on or just make fun of myself by taking out the lawnmower or changing some lightbulbs!

    Dance is a basic human activity in my opinion. Everyone (who is physically able) should dance regardless of how good they are at it. Who the **** cares if you dance like in idiot if you are having fun? Life's too short
