I remember this topic of yours from the other forum

Which dances don't you like Jacko? Which ones have you tried?

Good dancing is when one stops thinking and just let's their feelings lead ...

That wasn’t me. There must be two of us that think dancing is stupid. Lol. Btw, it’s only stupid for men.

I liked watching professional couples in competitions. If you watch a couple dancing a pasodoble this is pure magic. I watched it even as a teenager and young man, but could never make up my mind taking dancing lessons.
I am glad that my wife doesn't like dancing too.

If I would dance I never could pay the money to all the orthopedic doctors for the women I injured by stepping on their feet .

No, some women also find it stupid.

Dancing is fun, but I'm too inhibited to get skillful enough to overcome my TwoLeftFeet- itus.

Years ago on a date, we went to a dancing lounge to have a drink.

Then the music started and the dance floor gathered about 15 people,
it was a small place. So, the music was good and people were enjoying.
My date says " how ridiculous those people look out there, look like a
bunch of Aliens dancing" lol. Anyway, there was a line dance that
eventually came up, so I got up and enjoyed dancing that. Date stayed at
the table and ordered an appetizer LOL

Do young people dance these days? I don't think I've ever heard a song from the 21st century that even made me want to tap my foot, much less get up and dance to. Most of the time when you see people dancing any more, they're dancing to classic rock music... that is, unless it's country music. I think people still dance to country music.

Meh, they probably still dance. It's a way to meet someone for a potential romantic encounter, so they must still do it. What do I know? I haven't been to a dance club since the early '90s.

they certainly do dance.. albeit their own kind of dancing these days... but those dance clubs aside.. amateur & professional dance clubs are extremely popular espeically since the onset of TV shows like Strictly come dancing, and the American offshoot.. of the original British dance show.. Dancing with the stars!

I've always been a terrible dancer but certainly enjoyed trying, always a good time.
I don't watch dance shows but appreciate the talent, discipline, choreography and athleticism that it takes to be a competitive dancer. I sure would never call dancing stupid.

One couple we know years ago took dancing lesson & are excellent ball room dancers & have enjoyed it for years.

I'd rather be a bad dancer than someone who stands on the sidelines judging others.

I have danced all my life, I attended a dance school as part of my regular education as a child, and I always wanted to dance professionally and never got the chance..

However we do have our own dancing couple on the forum, in the shape of @horseless carriage ..and his wife... who have taken part in many dance competions over the decades...

My friends and I used to dance the nights away in college . . . at nightclubs after about 10 beers and/or shots. I can't say I was any good, and it's very likely I did indeed look stupid.

"Dancing" is an awfully broad brush to paint with. There are so many types.

If I lived in a bigger city, and I weren't such a klutz, I'd seek out polka dance lessons, or perhaps ballroom dancing, or square dancing.

Boy, is it stupid.

My wife and I dance almost every evening. It's rare when we don't....only when my pain is too severe. She doesn't think my dancing looks stupid at all, even when I have to do it in my wheelchair.

Well, she's never said it looks stupid. And she smiles the whole time, so I don't think it matters to her either way.
