    My housemate kinda surprised tonight in saying that he never dances. And in truth I've never seen him dance when out ever. Why not like? Are ye like that good people of AH? Do you dance in the house on your own? Or just when out? Is the primitive urge to dance fulfilled by modern society? Does it in fact play a much larger role in the machincations of our culture than we realise? Do you dance around the house in your underwear?



    I love dancing around the house when I'm on my own, makes the boring stuff better!

    We can dance if we want to. We can leave your friends behind. Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance.
    Well they're no friends of mine

    I'd love to hook you all up to my webcam right now, Unskinny Bop going full blast, me throwing shapes all over the living room :)

    No. Unless "dance on your own" is a metaphor....in which case yes.

    My friend Stephen used to dance a lot but since he lost the use of his legs he just sits there and looks sad. Which is great because he was **** at dancing.

    Dancing is like sex, nobody is bad at it, they just sometimes get the timing wrong.

    For my friend Stephen dancing is just like sex for him nowadays, specifically the "struggling to get up" part.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,436 ✭✭✭c_man


    olbas oil.

    Whenever I get a cold, I get the Kleenex with that stuff baked in. TIGHT!

    If he can nod his head he can dance, the sex part maybe not.

    Don't need nothin' but a good time
    How can I resist
    Ain't looking for nothin' but a good time
    And it don't get better than this

    I have been known to go crazy Broadway style on occasion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    I don't think I've ever danced in my life. I've got no intention of changing that.

    Dancing is easy, follow these simple steps

    Stand in the place where you live
    Now face north
    Think about direction
    Wonder why you haven't before

    Now stand in the place where you work
    Now face west
    Think about the place where you live
    Wonder why you haven't before

    If you are confused, check with the sun
    Carry a compass to help you along
    Your feet are going to be on the ground
    Your head is there to move you around

    Yep. Most every day. My way of putting the day behind me is to switch on The John Creedon show for a while, close the curtains and my eyes and shake off the world by making silly shapes and groovy moves. :) Pure pleasure. No metaphors here, just simple dancing. It's an INFJ thing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,154 ✭✭✭silverfeather


    I love dancing. Classes alone..sometimes silly sometimes serious. It's my down time :-) It went for a reading and the woman told me it was good for my soul. It helps you get over anything. It's just for me.


  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I dance like there's nobody watching.

    Please, let there be nobody watching.

    When nobody is around I go around my house talking like Christopher Walken and Jeff Goldblum.

    "Liiife...........uh........finds a way........"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,109 ✭✭✭RikkFlair


    Of course I do, just like this....



  • Posts: 26,052 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I love trad Irish dancing, the only dancing where everyone is dead from the waist up.

    Haha! But wouldn't it be gas if YOU too lost the use of your limbs and couldn't get it up! That would be FUNNY! I really hope you do man. Just so you can see the funny side!

    Maybe just lose them altogether, like in a serious RTA. Double amputation. Gas! Please let us know if it ever happens, we can all laugh together. Haha!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,554 ✭✭✭valoren


    Picture me trying to dry my back with an imaginary towel.

    That's how I dance and it aint pretty.

    I don't dance. Always hated it, especially when my parents made me take dance classes when I was around 14... utter nightmare.

    So no, unless threatened with serious bodily harm, I will not dance.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,987 ✭✭✭Tilly


    There is a video of me dancing on my own (only person on the dancefloor) at my mates wedding a while ago :o. I'm more of a head nodder\finger tapper when in the car tho.

    I was at that gig :p

    And I was a dancing fool jammin' to Concrete Jungle and Little Bitch in my suede brogues and Ben Sherman.

    Good old Terry. As grumpy and morose as ever and still razor sharp in his suit.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,285 ✭✭✭Summer wind


    We all need to shake our tail feathers. It's good exercise and makes you feel happy. What's not to like. Just pump up "I'm sexy and I know it" and hoovering gets done in no time.

    If I am feeling low in energy, I dance in the hall on my own. My favourite is Happy by Pharrell Williams. Cheers me up too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,353 ✭✭✭Cold War Kid


    Let's Go Crazy by Prince is the track that will have me dancing whether I want to or not.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,962 ✭✭✭✭dark crystal


    Yes, yes I do. All the time.

    I can dance the entire Thriller video.

    Aw man, I love doing the side-to-side-neck-jerk-while-staring-blankly-ahead zombie shuffle.

    Oh, the hours young Candie and her cousins put into learning that routine :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,955 ✭✭✭Sunflower 27


    I do. I like to pretend I am a dancer at the closing ceremony at the MTV awards. Oh yeah! Wahoo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,622 ✭✭✭Ruu


    Maybe a bit of air guitar or a gentle swaying to some dramy jazz. I look like there is something biting my ball area if I'm dancing. :D
