[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who say they "hate" dancing are generally suffering from something else that impedes their ability to dance - self-consciousness/poor self-esteem, depression, poor physical health, etc....[/quote]

[b]Good sense and self respect.[/b] That's what keeps me from dancing. [/quote]

Honestly, that's just an excuse for poor self-esteem and anxiety driven by worrying about what other people think of you. Both the physical and mental health benefits of active, regular dancing outweigh any self-imposed harm related to "good sense."

Here's a hint: the more you dance, the better you get. Just like playing an instrument, learning a new language, learning how to read, or doing math problems. Repetitive practice makes perfect.

Don't even start with partner or coordinated dancing. Stuff like the tango, salsa, or line dancing are way too complicated and intimidating.

Just enjoy dancing to funk, disco, house music, motown, rock, or hip hop as a single person in a large group. I think dancing by yourself among a big group - such as at a wedding - takes the stress off. I personally HATE partnered dancing; I like to do my own thing.[/quote]

Or maybe some people just don't enjoy dancing. Why does it have to be that they secretly want to but simply have too little self esteem to do so?

Does everyone enjoy golf? Bowling? Poker? No, they don't. Why is it that people can't have a dislike of dancing without attaching social or psychological inadequacies to it.

Here's a hint for you: I don't fucking like to dance and have zero desire to practice until I'm good.[/quote]
NP here, your personal dislike of dance doesn't have shit to do with self respect.[/quote]
