Re: Can you dance?
I can "white person" dance (i.e. no, not really).

Re: Can you dance?
I've been known to dance after about four or five drinks. How well, I don't know, I don't think I'm a good judge of my dancing abilities at that point.

Re: Can you dance?
I like to dance, and I do it regularly, but I don't think I'm especially good or graceful at it. Although my husband tells me I've "got some moves" (but I think he's just trying to get something off me).
I've always wanted for us to take some couples dance lessons, but not really feasible with his schedule.

Re: Can you dance?
I think I've mentioned this here before, but I once tried to learn latin and ballroom dancing. Don't laugh; I thought it would be an excellent way to meet girls.
It went well (in the sense I didn't trip anyone over more than once a week) for a few weeks, but came to a horrible end when my usual dance partner didn't just stop coming, but actually left the university. I returned the next week, and was followed round the room by a rather large girl with a squint, hoping for a dance partner.
I did not go back.
While I...reasonably enjoyed the ballroom dancing, I disliked a lot of the latin dances. And I cannot stand the typical 'party' dancing - I feel so self conscious I can never really get into it, and my mind ends up wandering onto other topics, like 'what am I doing here, standing up making stupid movements for?'.
That was a rant. The answer to the question is no, I can't dance.

Re: Can you dance?
Nope. I'm a terrible dancer. I do dance for fun, usually after a number of drinks.

Re: Can you dance?
When I lived in Oklahoma, I took two-step classes (along with a bit of west-coast swing and ballroom). Which here in Illinois have proven to be entirely worthless (and will continue to be so). I also took ballet in college (2 credits worth) but I have yet to see anyone ballet dance at a club, wedding or other social event.

Re: Can you dance?
Initially I get dragged onto the dance floor and look like
I have a couple drinks. Then I look like
A little later I have a couple more drinks, with a significantly higher alcohol percentage. Then I look like
That's how I remember it anyway.

Yeah, I'm another drink dancer. I get a few in me, and by the end of the night, I might just move my legs.

Re: Can you dance?
It depends(what doesn't?) I can't just go right out there and shake it up or be the first one on the floor. I need some time to relax, get a feel, maybe get a couple drinks in me. Then I start off a bit slow and then that's when I really get moving. I've got a few moves myself but it's not like I'm an expert or anything and I know that I'm not the best one out there.
I no longer go clubbing. At first it was fun but now I find it boring though it doesn't exclude going out sometimes with friends. I'd love to learn swing, latin, tango, and other forms of dances. I find them more refined and tasteful than just shaking it up and grinding hips in a club.

Re: Can you dance?
I can dance... just not WELL.
I sometimes enjoy dancing on my own, in private, where nobody can see me, but at a club type situation, I need to get drunk for there to be much movement. And even then I don't think I dance very well. But when you look around at the other people, I mean, I'd say I dance about as well as most of the other people at the club - but of course, they can't dance either.

Re: Can you dance?
Why would I want to?
I kindof stand in one place and jiggle.

Re: Can you dance?
I love to dance. I've never taken any real lessons, but we did all sorts of dances in show choir in high school (a song/dance group). The best was when we did a few swing songs. Most of the high school boys were nervous about throwing their partners around like that, but mine was great and we had a blast. I did a lot of dancing as a cheerleader too, but that was mostly choreographed routines and stuff. Alas, my husband is one of those who has to be *really* drunk to dance, so I only get to go when I'm out with my friends.
