Does anyone dance?

Somehow I don't think very many on a prog forum do, but I thought that I'd ask anyway.

I'm a street dancer myself. Done some locking and will probably start popping this spring.

Emphatically no.

I haven't danced for some time (unless it's in the privacy of my home, when listening to some particularly groovy piece of music),  but in the past I have practiced different forms of dancing as a hobby. When I lived in Finland, I took up belly dancing, and I liked it so much that I did it for four years, until I moved back to Italy. Previously, I'd done a couple of years of southern Indian dancing (or bharata natyam), very beautiful but very physically demanding. I've also tried flamenco (at which I'm hopeless) and salsa dancing, and I think I'll take up the latter when I finally move to the US.

When I was a teenager my girlfirend and I won a slow-dancing competition at a Radio One roadshow - 5 singles and an album - one of the singles was a Steely Dan single  ... I haven't danced since.

I started a juggling topic a long time ago and Peter replied just like you did now.

You're so full of cliqués.

I don't dance, I don't like dancing, and I know even less any particular dance moves.
The last time I danced was at my prom (no, don't think about the American prom, it's different around here, but I couldn't think of any other proper term...), but it was after two hot girls (colleagues) dragged me on the dancefloor. A funny chemistry happened: Me a bit dizzy after a couple of whiskey shots ---> thus, me accepted to dance ---> afterwards, me sobered up.

But this thing was an exception, it doesn't change the fact that I don't (know how to/like to)/can't dance.
My best friend is pretty much on the same length with me, he won't dance for anything in the world. Instead, another buddy of mine likes to dance a lot, even knows special dances.

I will occasionally and very clumsily twirl about my flat when I'm listening to some great twirl inducing music. Usually on Saturdays when I'm cleaning. In public, never!
