Whether it’s partner dancing, bboying, or dancing at the occasional social event.
I’ve done salsa dancing on an off for a long time now. I can also dance bachata. I was never a big club person but enjoyed going to them in my younger years to dance. Hip hop nights were my fav. Kinda sad that dancing in clubs is dying from what I lost saw around 2019, pre COVID.
I did take a long break from dancing due the pandemic obviously. It was missed.
I’d say I’d like it. And I also admire professional dancers. It’s hard work!

I took dance classes for a few years. Started with ballet, then switched to hip hop and acro. I stopped in middle school to focus on basketball.
After that, I hated dancing and pretty much refused to do it in front of anyone. Still do.
I think dancing requires a level of comfort with your body that I just do not have.
Dancing of any kind just reminds me now much I hate my body. It's easier with choreographed dance because at least I know when it looks right.

used to love edm and dancing. even went and took some lessons, but never got good enough to perform choreographed routines. i only moved how i felt like. still got compliments on it.
then a lot of joy got ripped outta my life i don't feel like dancing anymore. still like listening tho
- #8
Dancing like solo stuff? Mostly in my kitchen.
Love salsa though. Dancing together is just a lot of fun. When it goes wrong, but also when it goes very right, and you're just completely in sync with each other. Honestly pretty weird/cool that you can make someone do certain moves, just by subtle leading cues at the right time.
I'm a bit self conscious when dancing solo, but with partner dances I'm just so caught up in leading, or the other person, that all other things fade away. I love it. Makes me very happy.

Love it. Up until my mid 20s I had practically never danced other than when I had to (at school) and was way to nervous and self conscious to get up there.
My now wife got me into it and now I’m always the first in the dance floor and last off. I’m not the greatest dancer and but I have a great time.
Also people always assume that everyone is way harsher on you than they are. At this stage I’m probably just a decent dancer but because I get so into it and have such a good time I constantly have people coming up and complimenting me.
Just gotta get in there.

I do and I love it.
Sadly with the recent world developments I don't go out dancing nearly as much as I used to, I used to go out once a week minimum and now it's been already a couple months since I did.

I’m terrible at it, but I fucking love it.
Especially when it‘s to some really catchy music, like work out remixes of classic songs.
Or Irish tap dancing.
Or that one song that is all the rage on TikTok after that Netflix Wednesday show aired.
You know, the one where they combine Lady Gaga with helium and caffeine.

Yes, I adore club dancing. There are few more exhilarating "commonplace" experiences for me than dancing all night long. I've something of a reputation at a few nightspots in town for my tireless strutting, in fact.
Ftr, men who dance I find extremely sexy.

I was never really interested in dancing, first as a teenager with body image issues and even later as an adult who's much more comfortable with himself.
I also found that people can be pretty dismissive when you say you don't enjoy dancing. I've encountered many people, family and friends, who thought it was ok to pester me about it and even literally pull me onto the dance floor. I'd put up with it as a teen but now I firmly and politely decline.

I'm so bad at it. I can move to the beat but I'm just too uncoordinated. The only time I dance is at home around people I know and love, and usually purposely bad as a joke.

I just started getting into it. My boyfriend loves to dance. We went to a disco night at a local club last night and had an absolute blast. It really helped me relax to see that everyone was moving and having a great time regardless of skill level. Didn't stop for hours.

I actually used to compete in DanceSport (ballroom and Latin) in my early 20’s (this was 20+ years ago).
I see pictures and videos of myself dancing then and they are cringey to say the least. But damn, I had moves. I can still do the steps decently but the styling is beyond my muscles at this point. Weirdly, around 26 or so I lost interest and haven’t really tried to do it in probably 10 years. Might be interesting to go out dancing again somewhere.

When I’m alone? Absolutely. I don’t hold back. It’s a performance. Concerts too. I go so fucking hard.
In other public settings, like weddings or whatever? Yeah, put three drinks in me and I go.
Never sober though, the anxiety doesn’t permit that.

I learned to dance thanks to the dance school where I joined.
I realized that without constant repetition and steps split into small stages I am completely incapable of learning.
I learned to dance a regional style called Brega, which is only played at parties in the region/state where I live, so when I travel to other places in Brazil I have no way to dance.
I am trying to learn forró, which is more present all over the country. It varies from region to region, but I think that with a foundation I am able to dance.
About liking to dance, now that I've learned I love it. I have even gone to parties with the specific purpose of dancing. I realized my dream of hooking up with someone because I learned to dance.

It's rough when you're with someone who does love to dance. They don't want to make you do something you don't want to do, and you don't want to be an unfun bum.

I do on occasion and when I do I probably look stupid as fuck.
But its ok I accept I look dumb and just have fun moving to the music the way my mind and body wants to.

No and not really. I've taken various classes (ballroom and blues and whatnot) and tried some informal casual stuff, and never really saw the appeal.
The one style that I liked the most was called dances like square and contra (and to an extent line), where it's a matter of learning as you go along with everyone else. But it only really works if you don't go often: for a while I tried going to a regular square dance event, and after just a couple months I found that I got too good at it and once I knew enough of what I was doing, it was boring. The whole point for me was to start each dance confused and pick it up on the fly, y'know?

I used to dance semi-professionally (decent enough to make it to RCMH) and miss it terribly. Used to think about going into choreography as a career. May have actually gone forward with it if I knew how much content creation could supplement that at the time rip. Been thinking about taking some classes at a local studio next year to get back into it.
Still love to dance at clubs, parties, etc but ofc not the same, and regardless my body doesn't quite move the way I want it to cuz it's been so long.

Dancing is one of those things that I completely get why people love to do and have lots of fun and even find spirituality on. But for me it does absolutely nothing.
Nada. Not even negative feelings, just nothingness, I've never liked it, never been interested, feel absolutely nothing when I try.
Singing and making music, though I'm just average at both, I can get lost in for hours and loving every minute.

Really glad I saw this post, because I had written the same thing.
When I would still go out to bars with friends, there was this one guy in the social group who would insist on going dancing and would get extremely aggressive about it. He'd shit talk and try to embarrass anyone who wasn't on board. Guy was a complete douche.

Dancing definitely isn’t for everyone. I’m too self conscious to enjoy it, even if I was good. I think I had fun one time in my life and I was absolutely shit faced.

How to learn to dance bachata?
The ancestor of modern bachata is the dance of the inhabitants of the Dominican villages, which was their only joy after hard work.
But times have changed, now bachata has turned into a passionate pair dance, built on the sensual and harmonious movements of partners. Distinctive features of bachata: the closest contact with a partner and plastic, even somewhat erotic movements. A man in a dance smoothly leads his partner, gently hugging her. The woman responds to his actions, accompanying each of her soft steps with plastic movements of her hips. nine0003
The answer to the question of how to dance bachata is quite simple. After a few lessons, everyone can master the basic movements of this dance and feel its rhythm.
Bachata dance technique
Bachata is easily recognizable by the characteristic movement of the hips. The basic step of this dance consists of 3 small steps accompanied by undulating body movements. The main element of bachata is the smooth rotation of the hips for women and the body for men, which is called "kick". This requires good mobility of the muscles of the lower back, back and hips.
It is from these muscles that the smoothness, wave-like movements and, accordingly, the beauty of the bachata dance itself depend. nine0003
The question arises: how to learn to dance the Dominican bachata, if these muscles are completely undeveloped? For many who want to dance, it is precisely the fact that they feel completely unplastic and embarrassed to dance that becomes an obstacle. To begin with, it is useful for everyone to recall simple exercises familiar to us from childhood: the usual tilts of the torso in different directions and circular rotations of the body, slowly stretching the muscles. This will help your body get used to the stress. Those who regularly stretch and consider themselves flexible enough also often face the problem of stiffness during dance. This is because plasticity and flexibility are not the same thing. nine0003
Plasticity and flexibility: what's the difference?
The difference between flexibility and plasticity is that plasticity is achieved through the work of muscles and joints, while flexibility is achieved by stretching tendons and ligaments.
For the plasticity of movements, it is important to have a good stretch of the ligaments, but flexibility does not guarantee plasticity, so you need to pay attention to the loading and stretching of the muscles.
To learn how to fully perform the basic elements of bachata, you need regular exercises to develop the muscles of the back and lower back, which are best done at first under the supervision of a professional, using the dance hall hourly rental service, and then at home, on your own. Just before class, it is important to warm up the body with appropriate exercises so that it feels the rhythm and easily responds to any of your movements - this is a very important point in how to learn to dance bachata at home. nine0003
Basics of Bachata
Bachata captivates with its sensuality and emotionality. It is based on emotions and the ability to express them during the dance. It simultaneously reflects passion and tender love, perseverance and soft humility, the ability to feel a partner and resist him.
Therefore, it is so important not only to learn the basic movements and repeat them, but also to tune in with your partner on the same wavelength and talk to him without words, expressing your feelings through body movements. This bewitching wave of togetherness of partners moving passionately to hot music creates a wonderful romantic atmosphere in the dance hall. nine0003
Let's summarize a few simple rules on how to dance bachata beautifully. Remember that bachata is a set of technical movements that must be performed in a relaxed and playful way. To do this, it is important to constantly improve your dance technique. Regular practice is the key to success. During the dance, it is important to completely relax and liberate yourself, helping your partner to do the same. Only then you and your partner will be able to feel each other and synchronize your movements, which will make your dance unified, lively and harmonious. Also an important role is played by the selection of a qualified teacher and a cozy dance hall for training.
