I don't like dancing. I wish I did. Nobody has more fun at a party than the dancers. I just don't feel it. I like music, drinks, laughs, and friends. I'm in awe of talented dancers, captivated by passionate dancers. Show me a lousy dancer with a big smile, and I'll show you someone comfortable in their own skin. Nothing but respect for the dancing fools. But out on the floor, I'm a fish out of water. Even when I've drunk mine, yours and the next guys share...it just ain't there. Is there such a thing as chronic white-boy syndrome? It's not that I've got two left feet. OK, I do, but that's not what keeps me in my chair. Every wedding, someone takes the challenge to drag my ass out there. I'll go through the motions for a song...maybe two... waiting for IT to hit. Still waiting.
I encourage you to watch the film Beau travail. But I assume you won't so i'll post this clip for you Just let go my friend, and be free https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7Yag9t_HkY"]Beau Travail Credits (Dancer: Denis Lavant) - YouTube
I didn't feel dancing really until I took Ecstasy and went to a rave. I had some formalities before that such as proms where I'd be kind of competent with slow dancing and grinding but experiencing my body movement in tune to music and space in a rhythmic sense on Ecstasy was revelatory. I really don't feel the same liberties at like weddings, bars, or formal clubs due to the restraint they kind of have on behavior and the fact that alcohol tends to significantly impairs motor coordination . I feel with raves you can push yourself to see how far you can express your body while dancing to music more and from there you can sort of reign it in a bit when you start feeling odd and out of sorts. At most quality raves, no one really cares how you dance and there is not really the act to impress aspect like clubs and bars can have. I think as with most anything some people are more naturally gifted than others but unless you literally can't move than I think you can learn to dance. Look at it this way, you can do better than this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpjebjPJQUc"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpjebjPJQUc
yeah thanks for taking the words outta my mouth... I was trying not to always be talking about drugs.. haha but yea that's when I started loving to dance... now I love to dance anytime... I can feel the music like i'm rolling (just as much...almost, haha) when i'm sober so yayy for dancing (right now though I read some super hurtful things just recently and I feel like punching walls not dancing... maybe moshing .. yes.. moshing... but ah, i'll get over it..)
Ha. Well, yeah... I know that's a song but that is exactly HOW you dance (well)... you become the music. Or the music becomes you. It's not separate.
I never liked dancing till I got into the psychedelic scene. I still can't dance to music I don't like. But if a funky band is playin' I'll groove till the music's over
or pokerguy can start off slow with something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3fQgP7bv2E"]Party Boy - YouTube
P.s. is it weird that I find Chris Pontius (from the Jack ass video) attractive? I feel like that's weird.
eh, it depends on his hair. do you agree it can turn you into a good dancer later on.. like years later and when you're sober?
