Thread insired by my recent adventures in Chamoagne, where I ended up getting drunk dancing with a woman in front of her husband who hated dancing. She was really unsubtle with her attempts at hitting on me.

How comfortable are you wuth dancing? Is it normal social behavior? Isn't it kinda exhibitionist? Isn't it like having sex but with your clithes on?

I'm not.

Discuss? Have fun, shitpost

When I see people dancing I go full on Sayyid Qutb.

Dancing is a perfectly fine and enjoyable social behavior, while what you described isn't.

Tell us moar of your adventures in "Chamoagne" though, I must have missed that funny story completely.

It's one of the most bizarre human rituals. I've never had the urge to go to the dance floor and suddenly start flailing my appendages.

Like, if a hostile alien race is trying to learn more about us, just send them a video of people dancing, and they would waste centuries of scientific progress trying to uncover what the f we are doing. It's absolutely ridiculous.

Admittedly, there are a few cool types of dances... the solo or highly synchronized group ones that defy gravity and anatomy itself, but ballroom dancing and disco dancing? Hell, no. Like, just get a room like normal people next time. Stop teasing the poor guy by having this endless mating ritual with his wife to the sound of "Macarena" or something. That's like spending 5 minutes removing a single band-aid. Just rip it off like a normal person.

Probably not, I don't even feel comfortable dancing just by myself.

Wow, @Deathko made a thread! I have a strong tendency to dance all by myself at home whenever I listen to music, but dancing with others isn't really my thing ...unless I'm drunk! Then I'll be completely comfortable dancing with complete strangers.

Simple dances - Sure but I am very weak at this.

Some very strict/profesional dances like Tango, hell nah I don't know how. The only things I still know/remember is Chappeloise [Belgijka] and Polonez.

Am I comfortable with it, yeah but I suck at dancing. Exhibitionism? I'm sorry but I feel like that it is a statemant which only an uncultured people would say, dance among many other activities is just simple culture, not to mention that many regions and countries have their own specific dances history and dance variations.

Depends on what level we're asking. I have done some basic dance course, so if it's some of the simpler or more common dances, I'd probably need some more real practice to get back into it, but that wouldn't hinder me from just doing it if and when there is a situation for it in which I'd actually like to dance with someone. Now the major issue is on a moral level: I have never liked the widely socially accepted norm of having the bride or the groom dance with various other partners. To me, a dance is something quite intimate and I strongly dislike the notion of doing that kind of thing with the partner of someone else or having the own partner do that with someone else. Therefore, I would have to be at the very least into an available woman to realistically consider dancing again

Singing and dancing are a no-go for me, not my thing.

@fleurbleue I really love dancing all by myself, and I don't mind dancing around others... It's the whole one-on-one dancing thing that puzzles me and makes me uncomfortable. I tend to agree with Numbers, it just feels like a weird mating ritual that should not happen in public 😳

Also, I rarely make threads, but when I do, it's usually in AD UwU

@Zettaiken Show me a one-on-one dance that isn't sexual. Like, you mentionned tango. Tango has to be one of the most sexual dances ever. In your living room with your partner, sure; but in public with someone else's partner? Big yikes. Might as well strip and make out on the table.

Folk dances where a bunch of people gather in a circle are fine, and so is solo dancing like headbanging/fistpumping like crazy at a metal show/rave party

I absolutely hate dancing. I had to dance the other week at someones wedding. Though it was made a little bit more bareable when light sticks were brought out later on in the night.

@Deathko and @149597871: I also prefer if dances stay intimate and private between two lovers only. Also absolutely agree with the take that folk dances like the Greek Sirtaki or solo dancing are the most acceptable ones in a mass social setting

Yes, indeed! Dancing is like singing in the shower... it's supposed to be one of those intimate, special moments that are between you, your lover, and perhaps a few neighbors if the walls are thin, but definitely not something you would do in public during some social gathering. I don't even like Karaoke.

I don't mind to be heard, but yeah, you can also do that just in private. Though now that you say, it sounds even more awesome if the lover is pretty much the only privileged one to hear the singing. Wouldn't want anyone else fall in love with either my partner's or my own voice, after all!

In middle school during a dance a girl asked me to dance with her and I just got so freaked out I kept refusing, she nearly dragged me and she gave up and was disappointed.(T ^ T)

@Deathko Sexual is not equal to being exhibitionism, otherwise half of fashion would be already gone because of that, not to mention other products and Tango isn't the most sexual, there's other way more sexual like for example Bachata, oh wait a wife of Robert Lewandowski share that dance in public and only people with no knowledge on dance had problem with it.

"Exhibitionism is a practice of exposing one's intimate parts – such as the breasts, genitals or buttocks – in a public or semi-public environment. This can be done live or virtually as with nude selfies using technologies like smartphones to take nude pictures of oneself for show." - English Wikipedia
If we're making fan as anime fans for "cultured" and "uncultured" anime which is far more closer for sexual content, while having problems with knowing real culture which are opera, dance, theathers... Which goes back to what I originally said.
