Is anybody else out there as bad as me? People are always giving me crap about it. My guy friends all say women are supposed to be able to dance naturally, but no. Is there any hope for me?!?! I know I'm not the only one here.......IP: Logged |

There are plenty of women who can't dance. You're definitely not alone there. Me, I'm a guy, and I can dance.IP: Logged |

Are you musical? Cultivate a sense of rhythm, be expressive, dress for the occasion (my husband hates pop music, and always wears tweed suits when we go out, plus won't take it seriously - so, ahem! he DOES tend to look a bit pratty). Enjoy it! Do things like aerobics to improve your coordination.Maybe you feel silly dancing to certain music? Practise with music you like. Most people can disco-dance but maybe consider taking dancing classes. Just a few thoughts. IP: Logged |

Isn't it intersting that in indigenous cultures not one person "can't dance"? Every single member of the tribe dances and sings without any judgement from others. Just a thought  ------------------ We are the ones we've been waiting for. IP: Logged |

I agree with the comment about not worrying how you look - just do it girl - feel that ol music and let it go!! Ooooh I cant wait to have a sing and a dance now, only trouble is I sometimes get some old fecking mad boy trying to join in with me - okay if theyre sober but when theyre loaded and falling all over ye - YUK!!

hey dorkus...I can dance. I have friends that think they can dance, but can't. I say... hell... at least you know you can't dance, and don't make any bones about it. Dancing is just a form of creative expression. I'm sure you express your creativity in plenty of other ways. IP: Logged |

by Frank SinatraI won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, Madame, with you My heart won't let my feet do things that they should do You know what?, you're lovely You know what?, you're so lovely And, oh, what you do to me I'm like an ocean wave that's bumped on the shore I feel so absolutely stumped on the floor When you dance, you're charming and you're gentle 'specially when you do the Continental But this feeling isn't purely mental For, heaven rest us, I am not asbestos And that's why I won't dance, why should I? I won't dance, how could I? I won't dance, merci beaucoup I know that music leads the way to romance, So if I hold you in arms I won't dance I won't dance, don't ask me, I won't dance, don't ask me I won't dance, Madame, with you My heart won't let me feet do things that they want to do

ack. I normally dance up a storm, and love moving to the music.I just got Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease, to have fun, get hard, and learn some new moves. I also got a Pilates one, and did that with greaT RESULTS.. I TEND TO LIKE WEIGHTS AND RESISTANCE BANDS, ETC... ( oops, capslock) My husband, I'm sure, wants to get hard too. *ahem* So anyway..... While I was learning the mooves.. therefore, watchihng carefully, My glasses would slip, and I couldn't see. I needed to vent, it was soooooooo frustrating.. I am contorting, and stretching, whilst looking up, to see what happens next, and the stupid things wouldn't stay in place and I had to fix them each time. aaaaaaaarggggggggh *sorry, I needed to vent, and this is a dance thread, so thanks for listening. I hate glasses. Hate them. Time for surgery. IP: Logged |

Ugh, glasses, Pixie, I know the feeling. My glasses at school used to be 1/2" thick (no kidding) and bobbled up and down so much on my nose when I was doing sports that PE was impossible...in the 100m I used to have to take them off and people used to have to point me in the right direction...and when you take them off it's as though you've completely lost one of your senses...getting contact lenses at the age of 10 was a godsend!!Persevere, though. They said a similar thing to me when I was about 16 and my eyes were perfectly OK once I had given them a "rest", so to speak, for a couple of months. (In fact, I think it was the opticians' trying to make a fast buck...we found out they were telling a lot of people the same thing...LOL)  AT IP: Logged |
