Can Prog Fans Dance ? (poll)

Oh yes! Dancing is like second nature to me. It has been that way since I discovered the magic of rhythm around the age of thirteen, and started to dance in my room for hours on end in the evenings. As a teen I even taught myself the legendary moonwalk by keenly observing the master himself in his videos LOL. 

I don't dance nearly as often these days, not since I started to really listen to music, and not just use it as a rhythmic device for my dance movements... Having said that, I do remember dancing wildly to Rush's La Villa Strangiato around the time when I first got Hemispheres, due to the pure joy of having finally gotten into it. Nobody had told me yet that one wasn't supposed to be dancing to music with copious odd time sigs

No, and I neither drink a tequila and wodka..

Some beer sometimes, but that does not make me dance.

Like many here, I've been inclined to start dancing when enough alchohol is involved.  Particularly in college.  But I really can't dance, and don't ever want to dance, I much prefer air instruments! 

I think this is the same as asking anyone if they can dance, prog fans are just the same as any other music fans (although some will beg to differ). Although I think prog music in general blatantly wasn't made to dance to, even if you could dance to something, say, by Yes in 5/4 you would have to be bloody good.
As for me: No, music is for listening or performing, not dancing.

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. Iván

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.

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.

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

I can but I don't like doing it.... Sometimes I need to dance to 'pick up' girls .

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 !
