No. I'm a horrible dancer. Cry
 
Not that I care much, though.

It all depends on what you're dancing to Tongue
 
 
 
I think more commonly we do air-instrumentation, actually (hah)

C'mon ppl, prog fans have long beards, glasses and worn out brown sweaters ;-) Some ppl claim they don't dance, but they do it anyway when they're alone at home and listening to prog (and it seems more like a ducks mating call than actual dancing)...

There are, however, few certain ways of behaviour while attending a prog gig..

1) The fan goes nuts and starts shouting and raving because he/she sees his/her favourite band first time live - outsiders and non-prog fans are certain that either he/she lost his/her mind or someone definitely spiked his/her drink.

2) The fan lapses into a "conscious coma" as he is overwhelmed because of the astounding musicianship and beautiful melodies the band produces (alcohol and weed also helps to enhance this stance to a certain point).

3) The fan stays in the corner alone with his/her drink (usually a normal lager beer), carefully studying and the same time judging how the band plays and immediately picks up every falsely played note and/or part of the song

And this is from live observation ;-)
Really don't mind if you sit this one out.

I agree with you for the full 100 per cent.... I can't dance (at least so I think) but sometimes love to do so when clubbing Big smile
Interested in my reviews?

I can't dance but not because I'm a "prog-fan"... I can't dance because I'm a MUSICIAN and never trust a musician who CAN !LOL
...I'm a musician/singer/songwriter, visit me on www.reverbnation.com/rupertlenz and there you can choose from 125 recordings you can listen to ( for free ) if you're not limited to prog-rock !

Dancing to prog, especially weird time signatures, not easy. Dancing to 7/4 is pretty nice though actually.

My mother is a professional flamenco dancer and my sister is very good also. However I do not dance well and do not like dancing much. Of course with some beers i can try and dance.

I'm not  a bad dancer, but in Varadero a Canadian girl who I knew danced much better salsa than me, and that was traumatic also.

The worst part is that the teacher used to stay after the class time ()... with the sole intention of helping me to improve a bit ()... and it was impossible. After four sessions she gave up.
