Wewus432 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I think I could if I could take it seriously but I always wind up looking like I'm doing a workout in an exercise commercial. Most people just look funny to me when they're dancing, including me. I had to quit playing basketball for the same reason. I start goofing around trying to do these weird moves and then everybody starts laughing and I sneak a shot it. IN YOUR FACE! Then I get hurt and fall down. So, Can YOU dance?

Alan Dalton Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 No! I hate dancing, it makes me feel stupid, so I don't do it, ever. I'm more than happy to spend the night with a pint and a girl in the corner of the club, while others dance. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hippie Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I do not dance unless I'm wasted drunk. I've seen lots of people dancing from being in bands over the years and of all the people I've watched, maybe 3 knew what they were doing. Dancing is for chicks. In two days, it won't matter.

Gtoledo3 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Learning how to dance really helped me not look like a zombie when I'm performing.

Tedster Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 CAN I dance? Hell no. DO I dance? Hell yeah. Why? Because women like it. Women like to dance. And the guys who think they're too frickin' cool to look like idiots on the dance floor sit at the table by themselves. I love having a woman shake her ass at me. I don't give a flying shit if I look stupid on the dance floor...there are a lot of guys looking even more stupid than me up there. And, here's another reason. Don't you hate it when you play a gig and nobody dances? So...(shoots a six shooter at your feet) DANCE! (BANG!) DANCE!!!! Yeah...here are the top five reasons why guys should dance, whether or not they can... 5. Women like it. 4. Women like it. 3. Women like it. 2. Women like it. AND THE MAIN REASON WHY? 1.

Dylan Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Tedster is right, you should dance for the ladies. But I'm still a chicken shit when it comes to dancing.

Weird, but, it's like I'm scared to death of performing...but, when it's time to do it, I turn into someone else. But I can't just sit and sing or anything at the drop of a hat. I don't karaoke or anything. But, put a guitar in my hands and tell me it's time to play and I'm there. Weird.

Lee Flier Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 When I'm seeing a good band I do like to stand right in front and shake my booty, but I don't know how to really dance, with a partner and all. I mean, starting when I was a teenager I was always in the BAND that played at all the dances, parties and clubs. So I guess like most musicians my motto is: "I'll play - YOU dance!" :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bear Jew Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 What is this "dancing" you people are talking about? "Hey, I love to dance! Check it out!" (Slams into drunken frat brother as others follow suit) "BUUURP!! Now THAT'S dancing! Hey, let's put some of this powder in that chick's drink..." But seriously folks... I used to love dancing. When I was about 13 or so, I was a dancing fool. I'd dance at parties, weddings, etc, with almost anyone. Folks told me I was pretty good.... When I look back on it, I guess I might've been. In fact, when I really think about it, I think probably danced pretty dirty for a 13-year old. Then I hit puberty and started feeling weird about myself in social situations. No more dancing. That's when I started playing guitar. Nowadays, I kinda dance onstage... the funniest thing is when I get to see a videotape of us playing and I see how my fabulous moves must look to other people. I always make a pact with myself to tone it down a little, but it always goes out the window at the next show. I can't seem to stand still when I play. \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick_dont_fret Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 BEER... Helping white boys dance since 1841. I hate dancing. The only reason I went to the prom was because me and my now-girlfriend decided to go. I just happened to have the night off from work, so I put on my only fine piece of elegance and strutted my stuff to soma crappy rap. I did like dayncin' to that 'moove b*tch, get out da way' thing, in which I tried starting a mosh pit, but that was put down very quickly. School officials don't like mosh pits. Anyway, no, I don't like and can't dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G. Ratte Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 I'm a dance, dance, dance, dance, dancin' machine. Watch me get down, watch me get down. Wee. Nah, it's a blast. I go to house clubs in NYC and dance. I'm decent at it, not great. There are a lot of really serious people out that get down on the floor and stretch out first and breakdance. I have "dancing shoes", a particular pair of Adidas court shoes that are really light. It's not really a "meet girls" thing, 'cuz I end up soaked with sweat, so it's more like running track. I did meet my current girlfriend dancing, though it took 6 years for that to materialize into anything romantic. You have the 4 compass points you align your moves to, and you practice getting them as precise and on-time as possible. Kinda like playing bass guitar on the kick. I don't understand musicians who don't dance, 'cuz it's a visceral response to the rhythm. I think avoiding dancing is unnatural. So there. G.

Dan South Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Every musician should learn to dance. It gives you a whole new perspective on music and introduces you to some really cool tunes (not to mention some really cool chicks). The Black Knight always triumphs!

Super 8 Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 Musicians hate dancing! But it doesn't make sense because who can feel the music better than a musician? Musicians SHOULD be the first to the dance floor, but instead they tend to look down on people who dance, and prefer to sit or stand, and make technical commentary about the guitarists rig. I love to dance. I have NO IDEA HOW to dance, and I have never seen myself dance to know if I look good, or look stupid, or look stupid-er than everyone else who is dancing. It's probably best that I not find out. But, as a drummer, I feel it is almost my duty to dance. I don't know if you could trust a drummer who doesn't dance -doesn't say too much about how internalized their sense of 'groove' is; does it? Black people -I'd swear- are born great dancers. They just seem to have a knack for it. I'd say that would include black musicians too I don't know about Asian musicians, but Asians often seem to know 'all-the-moves', and can execute them flawlessly, but it never seems to have the 'feel'. It's like: "I read the book, I know the dance moves, this song is at 120bpm, and my dancing is in sync with that." It's there, but it's missing the point. And of course White folx are a hopless cause with the exception of the Irish Jig. White folx can do it, and do it well. No self-respecting black person (I don't care HOW GOOD they can dance) has any business going an Irish Jig. And really, why would they want to? These -of course- are broad sweeping generalizations based upon observations, and stereo-types. The truth is, I've know Black people who couldn't dance (or at least didn't appear to be able to). And I've known white guys who could seriously cut-a-rug! I've still not personally seen any funky Asian dancers, or Black Irish Jiggers -but I'm sure they're out there, and I'm glad to have 'em! :thu: Hope nobody got offended by my introduction of Race into this. I think alot of all ethnicities, and all that their cultures have brought to the table. I'll stand by my observations, but it was all meant in good humor. You can call me a 'honky' if it makes you feel better. Super 8 Hear my stuff here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
