Does anyone here dance?

[Bala Perdida]

Are any of you big on dancing, or happen to like dancing? I've never been much of a party goer myself but I've always been fascinated by dance. Based on my taste in music my favorite dance styles are latin. Salsa, cumbia, and quebradita to name a few. I watch videos all the time but never have anyone to practice with. Here's some links:

Salsa/Cumbia/Guaracha (mexico city style)

Quebradita (it took me a while to find an example that wasn't professionally terrible!)

I like the first one somewhat better because musical events like that seem to be more respectful towards non-hetero people, which traditional culture is really hostile to. I also like that the dancing is more equal, where as quebradita is known for the man basically throwing the woman around. Which is why at dances you'll hear people saying 'quebrala' ('break her') to the man. Also the genres that dance quebradita (banda, norteño & ranchera) are very cultural and therefore homophobic. However, here in the US and bigger cities in Mexico it's not uncommon to see same sex couples dancing together as well as people dancing with trans people and what not. So yeah, those are my two that I one day hope to be good at.

Got a few years of dance when I was on the theaterschool, half year clasical, half year modern, 1 year improv modern, 1 year break/street dance.
Did also a special week of tango.
I wouldn't say I actually can dance those forms but I can fake a bunch pretty convincingly.

I can dance the waltz, mostly Viennese, but also some English. Sort of. Because apparently Pilantra was right and I am a 90-year-old Austro-Hungarian official type.

I can embarrass myself pretty easily.

I can embarrass myself pretty easily.
I've done that. Although not as hard and drunk as other people at the parties I go to.

I've always been fond of capoeira and ballet, but I have no actual dance skill myself other than going out to dance parties where they blast hot jams and i am hopping about energetically and grinding on hotties.

[Brandon's Impotent Rage]

I suffer from a condition known as 'Chronic White Person Syndrome', but I do try to dance sometimes.

I love capoeira, though. It's a dance, it's a genre of music, AND it's a martial art. How cool is that?

[gef-gons]

Some forms of dance are by definition revolution i.e. Flamenco and some forms of dance are conservative (not my area of k) but classical ballet comes to mind.

I can twerk. :grin:

Just kidding, I can't do anything. I also have trouble dancing in public without alcohol.
