Dance then wherever you may be.

I always loved a bit of a boogie woogie. I went to Irish dancing lessons as a child and along with other steps, I was taught The Walls of Limerick and the Siege of Ennis (not sure if these are the correct names) and also did a bit of break dancing in my heyday on a bit of lino of course, with a bit of auld timers ballroom thrown in for good measure.
I'm impressed by all types of dancing folks but I reckon most men don't leave their expressive dancing side come out. So have you learned to dance and would you hesitate to express your moves?

I do dance, but it's like an epileptic in full flow, so I volunteer less these days. But inside, I'm dancing.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm just a naturally terrible and dancing.

I don't dance because I'm awkward and lack the confidence to do it right, but even when I do force confidence(or am pissed drunk...) and do it, people still laugh at me

Not true! 99% of Irish men are great dancers. They just haven't had the encouragement.

Anyone else do the full ghetto-move-buster when a good tune comes on the radio when you're driving? I do, and it embarrases the kids no end. My top half has some serious moves. The bottom half, not so much.

Say for example you had to impress a lady/gent across a crowded room with a signature move what would it be?

That's easy. Because even no matter how crap you are it, everyone will think you're great.

I would feel cool doing a move, but to everyone else it would look like i was attempting some sort of karate or kung fu attack. A look of horror! :eek: That or see the Mr.Bean nightclub clip.

I don't even know how to explain it. Ever see omid djalili's impression of an Iranian man dancing? Its like you're screwing in a lightbulb with each hand and hopping from one foot to the other. That's what I was doing. Scarlet.

There isn't a herd of wild clichés that could get me anywhere near a dance floor. At weddings, I find that people (dance fascists) have a huge problem with that. They really take exception to somebody not liking the things that they like. They don't seem to realise that, if you have to physically force somebody to do something, then that's probably a very good sign that they might not be terribly keen on doing it.

"Why aren't you dancing? It's a wedding, you're supposed to be having fun!"

Look, if I wanted to have fun, I'd be somewhere else. I'm here out of obligation. Now, let go of my arm. I really don't want to dance, and I can only struggle so much before it looks as though I'm on the verge of creating a scene or losing my temper. Just fuck off, okay? Fuck off, please. If I want to sit alone at a table, drinking morosely, minding people's jackets and pretending to send text messages, while every cunt and his mother is bumping into elderly relatives to the tune of Rhinestone cunting Cowboy, then that's exactly what I'll fucking well do. Now, just go away. Thanks.

Yeah, my signature move involves a great deal of social awkwardness and an internal monologue along the lines of: "Why the hell are you moving your feet like that? Put your arms down, you look like a twat... Be careful, you'll bump into somebody."

In my opinion, everybody should dance. In a crowd at a gig, or alone. Whatever suits.

I think it's good for your health to just cut loose and let your body move free to whatever sound you're picking up on.
I like to take the 20-30 mins it takes to cook a meal to get down to whatever i can find on my mp3 worth dancing to.

It's always good to care less about it all, about what you or others may think of your dancing self, and just let yourself completely go to whatever music you like.

Not even a whiff of alcohol or drugs and amazed at the moves that were being performed. I also heard that Brendan Boyer had a sock in his jock along with the famous Red Hurley.

Yeah, but if you look close, they're pretty slick - it's hard to do bad so smooth. I'd have broken a few limbs doing that, probably other peoples.
