    Majority of people have negative views of dancing? I haven't really seen much evidence of that. But then again 6 out of my 7 closest friends are dancers.

    Dancing is an incredibly beautiful and expressive art form. Even when it's not done well, it's such an exhilarating experience to just let loose.

    Blame the order of poasts, but I think my interpretation of the order of posts is fun.

    "presumptuous" poast.

    I don't dance because I would have a shy attack and probably go into some state of panic. But I'm all for it when people enjoy doing it. Dancing is just like any other sport, and there are people who think it's fun and people who think it's boring. It's not like a requirement to living a fulfilling life or something.

    That sounds about right. I like slow dancing, rawking out, and so forth - but I just cannot get into the whole club scene rub down. That is by choice, and yes I often refuse to even try.

    I'm doing you all a favour by not dancing. I inflict physical pain when I dance, not much unlike Sword Dance if you've ever played FFV.

    SWORD DANCE ONLY GREATLY INCREASES ATTACK, IT DOESN'T DO ANY DAMAGE.

    That said, I can't dance for .

    I know about a hundred medieval, renaissance and 17th century dances - so I can't really give a good excuse for not dancing. In fact, dance class is often a highlight of my week, sad as that might sound.

    I only like to dance if I like the music and if other people around me are dancing. Otherwise I always feel like somebody's watching me.

    The problem is with dancing is that not everyone is as flexible like Mr. Uehara who may very well be double-jointed. Some people end up looking all stiff and weird so they just refuse to dance to avoid humiliation.

    That's not a problem at all imo. Solution: If you're in a club with music and a bunch of people dancing, just bob your head a bit. Something practically everyone can do without looking moronic.

    That said, not all music is can be danced to the way some people are comfortable with. I think culture ties into that. The whole "white guy can't dance" thing probably only sprouted about from the notion that some white guys can't dance to Hip Hop music. When in reality, some are just aren't comfortable dancing a certain way.

    But a lot of dance clubs play Hip Hop and Techno, so it's expected that people who come know how to dance to that kind of music as opposed to something like SKA that another person would be more comfortable with. I think that's generally why people have negative perceptions about dancing.
