Failing miserably at dancing and related activities

Post Reply New Topic

Yes I would recommend trying a dance DVD at home first and if you can get comfortable with a few basic moves at say "fast dancing" that may work and when you dance on a crowded and not very well lit dance floor it is not so bad. It depends how comfortable you feel about dancing, etc. In the past I have tried salsa dance lessons and I am not that great, but did not stick with the lessons and sometimes other people at the dance lessons had already had more experience than me. Good luck and do not worry too much as not everyone likes to dance and I often hear people say they need to have a few drinks before they can get on the dance floor. I can dance without drinking any alcohol, but there has to be several other people on the dance floor also

Take a partner dance class--swing, salsa, or blues, preferably. Because you're dancing with a partner, you're not learning a specific choreography to one song--you're learning how to move in response to any kind of song. That will be applicable whether you are dancing with a partner or in a group or on your own. Plus, partner dance classes are a great way to meet people

The closest thing to dancing that I do is standing on one foot, bending that knee, then switching feet, and repeating rhythmically. I don't think it counts as dancing.

I can't dance and won't dance. I don't enjoy it and don't want to do it.
