Can you dance?

I was a great dancer back in the 60s & 70s. I could do it all. Everything from the rock & roll dances back then to the Samba, the Cha-Cha, and the Waltz. Then I got way too busy with work and my dancing days dwindled down until I just gave it up.

Can I dance.

I’m a 90s white guy dancer. My nieces and nephews have gotten married over the past few years and these kids (late 20s) have moves!

I could slow dance, but only to Freebird or Stairway to Heaven.

R2. Can you jitterbug?

My late bf was an incredible dancer! Could dance like Travolta and twice as sexy, with a great bulge and ass in tight jeans! Which sucked for me because I cannot dance, wooden and disjointed like Pinocchio.

Great dancer who enjoyed the clubs of NyC in the 1990s - which were music and dance focused (well..and drugs). You could dance alone - which is how I picked up most of my one night stands - and long term partner. Amazing how it’s fallen away. Still possible - but likely the minority instead of the majority. It’s seemed like such a critical part of gay life 1960s-1990s. The freedom of gay expression. Seems like a soulfulness that has disappeared.

I used to love to dance. Still do but arthritis in my knees make it something I can only do for a short time,then I pay the price afterwards. I look at pics of myself from the 80s-90s-2000;s and thats why I think I was thinner then.

I am (maybe "was" now) a good dancer. I started as a musician as a kid so I picked up the rhythm and beat aspects of body movement pretty easily. Did years of ballet and tap. Never danced professionally but my skill did put me in close proximity to a lot of talented professionals, some of whom actually became quite famous. Ballet really augmented my ability to make movements have that extra beautiful look. I don't dance much anymore, although if I am ever in a club or bar that allows it, I can bust out some of my old moves. Ballet is basically a thing of the past now which makes me sad. I miss dance so much. For me, there's nothing more exciting than making my body move beautifully. It really does seem to be something of a lost art. I can get into some of the modern dance styles, but a lot of this hurky-jerky choreography in music videos just looks clunky and disjointed to me. I remember watching one of Troy Sivan's videos and just thinking how ugly the dancing looked overall.

Not really. I can white person dance. Not as bad as Elaine. I try to blend in.

Gurl you put any Diana Ross song from the 70s on I will walk out on that dance floor like Moses parting the red sea and show you bitches how it's done . 🕺🕺🕺

This is a just a side question. What does DL think in regard to Denny Terrio? Do we think he slept with Travolta when Terrio was teaching him the dance steps for Saturday Night Fever? I think Terrio would have been around 27 and Travolta around 23 when the film was being shot.

Everybody’s talking about it — they’ve never seen moves like this before. People come up to me, they say, ‘Donald, you’re the best dancer, maybe the best ever — nobody does it like you!’ Tremendous rhythm, incredible style, everyone’s jealous. The floor loves you — total domination out there. Really, really fantastic dancing — absolutely world-class!”

I can waltz very well.

I was always a horrible dancer, but it didn’t stop me from going out dancing several times a week in my 20s and early 30s.

Yes. Yes, I can.

I took several dance classes. One with a state dance company and the teacher was a tyrant. One lesson he screamed at us there s more to this than just looking sexy!

Another was African dance. The teacher chose me as her partner and she whipped me with her beaded dreadlocks.

I can absolutely cut a rug. My one dancing challenge was when we had our annual dance with the sisterly girls' school - it was formal and we were doing the Pride Of Erin which involves the guy taking the girl's hands from behind. Unfortunately, once we switched partners my new partner had no arms. I did my best by putting my hands on her shoulders. But it wasn't the same.

I am a pretty good dancer, though not formally trained by any means. My dad was a musician (an especially talented guitarist, but he also played drums, bass, and piano) so I was highly exposed to music from birth. I eventually started playing instruments in my teen years, and my younger brother started even younger. I think this probably helped contribute to a natural understanding of rhythm which comes in handy for dancing.

I won't dance. Ask me.

I meant Don't ask me.

I make Elaine Benes look like Baryshnikov.

I have no rhythm whatsoever. I envy people who can dance. And sing.

But as a youngster I did dance the tarantella, hokey pokey, etc. at weddings.

Yes I can though I don't do a lot anymore. I was on the line for a major production of "A Chorus Line" and now teach for a fine arts high school.
