Do you dance at weddings or other events where dancing is occurring?

[fredjr82]

Do you dance when the opportunity presents itself?

Was at a wedding reception on Saturday and I did not find my way to the dance floor. I don't really anymore as I'm not as young as I used to be. My kids (especially daughters) are always out dancing around to whatever song comes on. I would probably do a slow song or two with the GF, but don't find myself on the dance floor as I may have when I was in my 20s and had a little more wild times at wedding receptions.

OH ya

 

[RollingBallofButcherKnives]

If you see me dancing kindly take away my car keys…

 

[TennNole17]

As a rule, I avoid events with other people. Especially events where dancing can occur.

 

[Rifler]

Yes,.. and I do it rather poorly.

 

[Hoosierhawkeye]

Yes with my wife and kids.

 

[HawCory]

The wife always gets one slow song from me, at minimum.

 

[BelemNole]

I always enjoyed dancing but my wife does not so I haven't danced much in the last 30 years. We did dance at her nephew's wedding last year. I wasn't nearly drunk enough for that.

I am the worst dancer imaginable ... for some reason, I just do not hear it. I am never in sync with the music and I end up doing my thing and wondering why I am supposed to have fun.

Although I am sort of good at faking it, it did catch up with me once about 25 years back;

My wife and I had been invited to a wedding for a somewhat high-profile Las Vegas attorney and her new husband who was the brother of one of our friends. ... and my wife wanted to dance!

So, I thought it went well ... kind of high stress when you never get into some sort of rhythm, and finally we got back to our table. Then out of the blue, a stranger came and sat down with us (He turned out to be local physician; one of those guys with awards and fellowships and degrees and so on all over his business card)

After introductions, he informed us that he had been watching me dance and that he had found me to be the absolute worst dancer he had ever seen in his life ... ever! He was not joking. He was deadly serious!

I had thought that dancing was something one did for fun and that while people did indeed admire quality dancing, that they were equally willing to forgive the other extreme.

I am still wondering if he was out of line and rude or if I was out of line to put my Disco/Rock and Roll dancing skillset on full display.

In any case, my answer since that day to your poll is a resounding "NO!"

Hayden Fry had the tradition of dancing
the Hokey Pokey after every win.

Dancing can be good for your health
and your soul.

 

[IIowaFarmBoy]

You left out ballroom which I do with the hot wife and some with daughters.

 

[onlyTheObvious]

I would do the chicken dance or other “line dance” type crap occasionally.

The older I get the more “hard no” I get.

I don’t enjoy it and I doubt anybody enjoys watching me do it.

 

[Nole-4-Life]

Used to enjoy it but as I've gotten older I've curtailed it a bit.

It was rude. Doc’s can be rude. Was he looking to dance with the wife?

 

[NDallasRuss]

I like dancing, and do it when I get the chance. Not sure I'd objectively be described as "good at it" or not - probably moreso when I was younger - but I enjoy it, so I'll do it. I'm not out there doing the "Elaine" and embarrassing myself, but I'm out there having fun, and entertaining me, if no one else.

 

[OrlandNole]

I had no problem dancing at any venue if I had a good bit to drink. Since I quit drinking 20+ years ago you could count the number of times I danced on two hands.

Anonymous polls are the work of collie molesters.

 

[SoProudNole]

Yes. I'm kind of a natural.

Why would you dance on two hands?

 

[Kinnick 4 Prez]

My wife loves to dance if the music is right. I'll join her for a few early on. After a few more drinks I'm out there sweating out the alcohol. Do that so I feel great the next morning.

 

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

This.

 

[Fan In Black]

no because I don't like the music they play and I dont think dancing is fun.

 

[alaskanseminole]

You know it, bro!

 

[Tenacious E]

No, but I want to work on Serena's crip walk to bust out at the next wedding I go to.

[HawkeyeShawn]

Rare, and what I do isn’t called dancing. I was an awful dancer before back surgery. Now it’s damn embarrassing. The no pic wife doesn’t like to dance either, so there is no pull to the dance floor. Give me a cocktail and I’ll sit back, enjoy good company, people watch and laugh at the rest of the people who also can’t dance.

 

[hydro2.0]

Yep but idk if I’d consider it dance. Just me out there cutting rug not giving a shit.

*cause I’m typically wasted

 

[The Tradition]

I'm a stereotypical white boy with two left feet.

I don't dance.

 

[BrianNole777]

Mood depending, sometimes.

 

[pink shizzle]

Yup, I drink with friends or family and have a great time (my dancing is absolute 💩).

 

[jonesy5960]

I'm a hella good dancer and I take every opportunity to show the world what good dancing looks like.

 

[Colonoscopy]

No

 

[BubsFinn]

I am in my gap years. I don’t go to weddings anymore and funerals are still a few years away.

 

[Moral]

Nah

 

[Fan In Black]

No, but I want to work on Serena's crip walk to bust out at the next wedding I go to.

that dance is so cool. I would walk that way if I could do it.

 

[InsaneHawkJJP]

Yep. Love to dance especially if I’m toasty. Haven’t been to a wedding in years though. Hopefully that will pick up soon though with my kids and their cousins.
