Can you dance? Do you have rhythm?

Do you find that dancing comes natural to you?

Interpretive Dance, Ballet, Disco or Ballroom?


I can barely walk across a room without running into the furniture. I can Slow Dance, but that's just stimming with a partner.

I can't really, but I'm always impressed by those who can. I like some of the dancing in this music video.

I have no co-ordination, no rhythm, can't hold a beat and feel like a statue. I've attempted it in the past, but the truth is I have no groove and can only embarrasses myself!

I love movie musicals and I've always wished I had the grace and skill to dance like Ginger Rogers. Instead, I've always been clumsy. I dance to rock music at weddings and parties, but that's mainly moving your body around a little across from a partner, not in his arms trying to move in sync.

I don't know how and I don't think so.

Absolutely hopeless dancer, along with being clumsy in general.

I think I think too much about what to do and how I look, rather than just relaxing and enjoying the music.

My best friend (NT) is an absolutely amazing dancer, always gets admired in clubs, weddings, etc. Completely spontaneous as well, doesn't put in any effort, just has a great nack for it.

I can dance (my own way xD) and my coordination with my body and the music seem to be good. I can also sing and hit a desk rhythmically, I can hear the whole music in my mind even when its not playing so it is easy to follow. The problem starts when there are people dancing with/around me. I can't help it. I just bump at them and step on their foots all the time. I just can't get the whole "step forward, step back, go left, go right, turn..." thing (I mean - why should I!? The music won't tell me which direction I should go and before I remember what I should do I am already out of the rhythm.) and I don't pay attention to other people.

I'm an okay dancer, but I am not exactly the best dancer in the world. Despite the fact that I have good rhythm, there are some dance moves that I can't exactly pull off due to fear of running into people and things.

I can just about tap my foot to the music whilst keeping rhythm, any more than 1 body part and I just look like I'm dancing to a different tune

I can't dance at all, and I refuse to do it no matter how hard others try to make me dance. I would look like a complete idiot. :lol:
I have bad motor coordination, and no sense of rhythm at all.

I can dance, and I have good rhythm----if left-alone to do my own thing. I've always wanted to be a dancer (or singer) so I took Dance in college----OMG, it was soooooo bad!! ! LOL I just can't follow / understand dance instructions, I guess.

Yes, I can dance but sometimes I feel like an idiot, I have to warm myself up to it every time. The trick is the KEEP moving and do not stop, because for me, once you stop you feel embarrassed for some reason. :oops:
