Of course it isn't.  Would you consider bands like Henry Cow, Amon Duul II, or The Soft Machine in the larger category of classic rock? 


When I look from very above, yes.

Most of the time, I hate dancing. I can dance but no matter the music my body movements are totally 80's.


Percussion, sir!

Years ago, a professional dance teacher tried to teach me few steps of Mambo or something like this. She told she would have teached a stone...with me she gave up after 10 minutes. 
The last time I danced was at a Johnny Clegg's gig in 1990, but don't ask me which kind of dance it was.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Because they can't dance and don't want to look like idiots.

I'm terrible and look horribly awkward when I do it. Which is frequently, because I enjoy pushing awkward situations to their limits.

I'm pretty bad but I do it anyway...hiding behind a guitar.
 
I used to be pretty good at jumping straight up and down to metal.
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Yes, well they call me The Supernatural Anesthetist.  By which I guess I mean that if you saw me dancing it would make you die.

By the way, if you can't dance, try doing silly walks:

Ditto.



I can do some bitchen moves while laying down the funk on bass guitar, though. No idea why.

Well we may have rhythm hidden somewhere inside us, a talent never nurtured so to speak, because most of us have no interest in dance musicConfused
