    I was at a 50th wedding anniversary over the summer and one of my older cousins dragged me onto the dance floor. I was utterly mortified and kept trying to get away, especially when he tried to usher me in closer. It was a slow song so we were expected to sway. Horrible. I felt incredibly threatened by him invading my personal space and couldn't get away fast enough when the song ended.
    It was so bad that I nearly had a panic attack in the toilets but I managed to keep together for my reletives' sake. I'm reasonably proficent at doing the Macerena/Gangnam/Gentleman/Timewarp/Carlton on my own but if someone physically pulls me onto the dancefloor against my will, I get panicky.

    That's just people calling you names because you aren't doing what they want. A way of letting you know you're not adhering to the patterns of behaviour they deem suitable to the occasion.

    F**k em / Suit yourself

    People who try to herd other people onto the dancefloor despite their protests are generally bellends.

    A pet hate of mine. They act like fcukin meglomaniacs forcing people to "have fun". Despite the fact that you mighht have more fun by not dancing. They always appear at weddings escpecially. Go dance yourself if you want to; leave me the fcuk alone :D

    I don't like to dance. I'm not good at it, I don't enjoy it and I don't feel bad for missing it even a little. I've no problem if everyone else wants to, but people who pressure everyone else to follow them up onto the dance floor, when they're clearly uncomfortable about it really annoy me.

    Same applies to karaoke.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Dancing's for the wimmenz, the gheys and very silly men.

    It's stupid, I can't dance so I don't and I've no interest in it whatsoever. Same way I can't play an instrument or sing but for some reason you're supposed to dance if you can't and don't want to? :confused: lol f*ck off.

    That's actually a good escape strategy. Dance your way to the jacks. :)

    If what people do at clubs is considered dancing then i worry. What you do in a club is usually a move your feet ever so slightly and point with your fingers in alternation. Occasionally, you get the odd hottie being all sultry. And it's always full of idiots who can't keep their arms to themselves and hit everyone around them. They stop me "dancing". I feel like pucking them square into the jaw.

    However, i do enjoy "dancing" in clubs, but only if it's good old fashioned choons bai.

    What exactly is "dancing"? Are we talking John Travolta type stuff here?

    I just hate The Christmas Party. It's not just about dancing.

    Trying to be social with some work people you spend the year trying to avoid is a bit strange.

    I'm avoiding the Christmas Party this year - it's taking place on Friday the 13th. I've become superstitious all of a sudden!!!

    I absolutely despise dancing in clubs and pubs and that crap.

    Its so stupid, a load of drunk people jumping around like a pack of gowls. I much rather prefer to get drunk at the bar or stand in the smoking area and breath in all that secondary smoke rather than stale knacker sweat.

    jeeze get off the fence and tell us how you really feel!

    Then when there's enough people out dancing the rest usually follow like sheep.

    You seem as judgemental towards people who dance as other people are towards those who don't dance.

    Some people (myself included) are more suited to having the crack and leaving the floor to those who have natural coordination.

    But, but... for me, dancing IS part of "having the crack" because I really enjoy it. They are not mutually exclusive.
