Is there any dance you just won't do?

[pygmalion]

Don't everybody say grinding at once! :wink: :lol:

Seriously. Is there some dance that, when it comes on, you head for a bathroom or smoke break? If so, why?

[Laura]

Samba, because I just can't do it at all, I suck.

[Spitfire]

Foxtrot mixers and swing snowballs; never cared for any kind of dancing done at someone's direction.

Samba, Merenque, Bolero - Not that I dislike them; just haven't taken the time to learn them better so I can enjoy them more.

Single time swing, Quickstep, Foxtrot, Tango, Hustle - just not faves of mine.

[peachexploration]

Any kind of swing like ECS, Lindy Hop, WCS, or Ballroom like Foxtrot, Waltz, etc. I think it's beautiful to watch, I just don't care to do it. I had a teacher who taught it and would do it occasionally at a practice party. She and her partner were awesome but for me, nope. :)

[Sagitta]

No dance if someone will dance with me. There isn't any dance that I won't do, but there are dances where I don't know the steps and so I cannot do teh expected steps. However, I think I can dance to the music, even if I don't know the steps. :) Does that count? There are some that I don't favour, such as mixers (not enough time with your partner) and line dances (not partner dancing), and of course these include dances like macrena, electric slide...

[Spitfire]

And I won't do line dancing except that I did do a little Macarena.

[etchuck]

Of the ones that I CAN do, probably not. Of the ones that I cannot do but want to do, I guess it depends.

And quite frankly I wouldn't mind doing more grinding, but it would have to be the right partner. ;)

[tsb]

line dancing. i have always maintained that asians should not line dance! :P

i would also say 2-step & cowboy cha-cha but for the right woman i'd probably at least consider it...

[Purr]

I'd had to say east coast swing and/or jive. To do it right, it's too much like work during a practice party.

That's not to say I won't do those dances. However, I'll wait for one of dances to start to take a break. :D

Slow dancing. Some of the dance parties I go to play a few modern songs every now and then during the evening and sometimes there'll be a slow. I feel really uncomfortable and silly dancing like that with a guy I hardly know. I guess I just prefer dances that have real steps to them :?

[Pacion]

Don't everybody say grinding at once! :wink: :lol:


:shock: :lol: :banana: Where is the start of the queue? :lol:

Lily, I don't mind slow songs, as long as our feet are travelling rather than just our hips alone. On previous threads, I have referred to this 'form' as 'rent-a-tile'. As the name suggests, the floor space covered by the dancers' feet is = to size of a tile :lol: I know, I know, some tiles are larger than others but the normal floor tile size is, well, small? :roll: :lol:

I will do just about anything, apart from the jumping in the air and headbutting the air (or a wall as they used to do in some parties :roll: ). That does not get my blood going, at all. :?

[dancin_feet]

Definitely line dancing. If I hear Billy Ray Cyrus, I'm out of there!!

[MadamSamba]

I'm with Sagitta on one hand...there's no dance I wouldn't at least give a try, especially if someone asks, but SpitFire has a point too...the Macarena is just too corny!

[Pacion]

...the Macarena is just too corny!

More so than the Cha Cha Slide :wink:

[etchuck]

More so than the Cha Cha Slide :wink:

Thanks for reminding me. One dance I really don't feel crazy doing.

[ShyDancer]

If I hear Billy Ray Cyrus, I'm out of there!!

They play Achy Breaky Heart for Evening 3 Step at my studio :lol: :lol:


As for the question.... Merengue :headwall: Hate it. But I guess most of you know that :lol:

I have to admit though that progressive merengue isnt too bad, but Id still prefer not to dance it if I can get away from my partner before he asks!
