I guess this is the place for this, just wondering if there are any dancers here and how you learned, what kind of dancing you do, etc
I know a couple people who took dancing, one took her lessons for 10 years in ballet and hip hop, and another still takes dancing lessons and until recently had a job as a gogo dancer in the "cluuuubs"

I can't dance for my life...

I danced once about 36 years ago...I haven't been seen in public since.:eek: Lessons may have prevented that, good on you for inquiring. Sorry I couldn't be of help, hopefully a rug-cutter will be around to help.
 
when i was a teenager i was too self-conscious to dance. i would go to school dances on friday nights after football games (grew up in a small town, thats what we did lol) and would wait for 'slow songs' and ask girls to dance. sometimes they said yes, sometimes no.
this went on til my junior prom. i rented a tuxedo and had the red cummerbund that matched my dates dress. (do people still do that? lol) i was still too self conscious to dance but didnt want my date to have a bad time so i told her she should go on and dance. which she did, fair enough.
while i was sitting there i saw the quarterback and captain of the football team go shuffling by. he was trying to kind of dance but could not find the beat to save his life. (this was 80s pop/dance music, the beat was like a metronome.) the guy looked, well, ridiculous.
i felt determination stirring in my guts. by god, i spent a bunch of money on tuxedo rental and a nice dinner and here i was watching this jock missing the beat on some madonna or prince song or whatever. i was outraged! not giving myself time for second-guessing i leapt up, ran to where my date was dancing with my other friends and, you know, started dancing. my friends were all like 'wheeeee!'. it was a great moment in time for me.

later, in college, i went to rock and roll shows and learned to dance to live music. intoxicants might have been involved but it was all built on that moment at the junior prom when i saw a football player who couldnt find the beat and decided i couldnt possibly look any worse.

When I was about 19 I took dance lessons at Arthur Murray. (My girlfriend at the time liked to dance) I think that I was the only student in history
to whom Arthur Murray offered a refund.:eek: My teacher was a babe, but after a few lessons she started wearing steel toe boots.:confused:
 
I was a a wedding reception last year when a beautiful blonde approached me to dance with her. I got on the dance floor for the first time in 46 years and rocked out.
My wife said as I sat down, "no othe female in the world could get you to that." She was right. Only one female in the world could have said the magic words. "Please dance with me, grandpa." That particular four-year old could get me to do just about anything.
 
No hot Latinas here in good ol Bavaria, but our girls are pretty nice, too... I can dance Polka and a Landler. When I was a boy, I could dance the Schuhplattler, but not any longer. You need a group of people for this

You can search for these dances on youtube.

Kind regards
 
After seeing Antonio Banderas in The Mask of Zorro, I learned how to Tango. It took a long, long time to gain any real ability, but it's quite fun at select times to pull "Babe, let's Tango" with my wife at a faculty function.
 
At 14 I started going to rave parties. I learned to dance in my living room by moving all the furniture out, putting on some beat, and going at it. When I would go out I would be the guy on the floor in the middle of the circle. My friends always said I look like I'm break dancing standing up. I never went to the ground because the floor is gross.
