damn.... my first thought would have been an adverse reaction to the music...

Only when I'm very very drunk...

Probably the music was a factor  But what copuld I do, the disco was full of tourists?

But honestly, dancing at that altitude after only 24 hours is not joke.  And I can't say it was a youth mistake, because it was in 2003

Mmm... I use to be able, but I always hated it... I feel silly, so I stopped years ago. I don't know if I still can; but I also don't have any intentions of finding it out... Anyway, most people call "dance" to a series of random movements this days. I would like to learn some traditional dances, something with meaning and rules, but I think I would still feel silly, because dancing is to me quite meaningless. Also, dance music don't help, on the account of being such bad music.

I can dancea little, but not on prog songs, it are "listen"songs not dance songs

Some ballroom and Latin...

... and I learned some hip hop dancing

It's fun to dance to Beck and Zappa.

I pretty much danced around my school today listening to 'Willie the Pimp' on my mates mp3. Pretty dam fun!

Can, but prefer not to, normally.

Danced a lot in my teens & early 20s, though I stayed seated during the effing disco era.

I don't know all prog fans but as far as I'm concerned... NO.

I'm Spanish and I had to quit a course of flamenco dancing when I realized a pair of chinese people were faaaaaaaaaaaaaar better Flamenco dancers than me...

I like to think that I can. But that still means no.
