Where in the fuck are all the guys who actually like dancing for fun?!?! And no, I’m not referring to the dry humping you find at clubs. There was a time when it was not only cool to dance with a lady, but you gained some fuckin respect when you put on your dance shoes! It was the norm to get up and give it a whirl, even if you never did before. You gotta start somewhere! I would cream my pants if a guy my age actually asked me to dance a fucking flamenco or some shit! I can’t even do flamenco, in fact I’m not even quite sure what it looks like, but I would totally try it out! Guys, you need to man the fuck up, stop being little bitches, and loosen up! —I’ll be at the Swing Dance Friday, Will You?

I can ballroom dance, you game? If not, I know a few Cape Breton square sets that’ll get your heart racing.
Check out Salsa at Pipa on Friday nights…..Salsa dancing with bachata, merengue, cha-cha and reggaeton mixed in.
I retired my hips from ‘the Bump’ in 1975.
I know lots of guys that dance?
Yeah, the bigger clubs are all about looking too cool for school. Sometimes when I go out I’m in the mood to get down on the floor, other times not. Usually depends on my level of intoxication.
I was gonna write a bitch about how the floor at some clubs always seems to be packed but nobody’s dancing, makes it pretty impossible to dance, you’re constantly getting bumped into by creeps just walking around the floor trying to creep. Not to mention the sticky floors. Yeah I need a new place to party.
“the floor at some clubs always seems to be packed but nobody’s dancing” Truth!!! Girls are no better OP.
Here you go, kids – SHAKE DEM TAIL FEATHERS!

Do you know how to do the Felatio?
LOVE Pipa! AMAZING food and drinks. Their atrium is a really cool space. It would almost remind you of a Cuban social club from like 50’s or 60’s Havanah. A gentleman with a white fedora, crevat and wingtips sitting in the corner sipping on a rum drink and puffing a big cigar or a dark haired latin beauty with a flowy cotton dress, gloves and a lily behind her ear would not look out of place at all. It’s like stepping back in time. Really really cool. I didn’t know they had dancing on Friday nights. I may have to go check that out.
Lolz of the day to Senor!
YOU need to stop bitching lamely. DULL!
i’d be going on friday but i told my ex i’d go to that movie everyone’s talking about. The guy i’m porking says it should be called “distraught white kids go camping”.
I’d rather be jitterbugging.
porking??? sheesh…..
crayons is on her way to becoming one of my favorite bitchers. Keep up the good work madam.
Oh, and Saturday is the night to go out in this town, unless you like the student crowd. I hear the Grafton Lounge is a nice little spot. I’ve been partying at Winston’s in Lacewood because RS Smooth DJ’s. I find the local people who work in and around town are more likely to go out Saturday, and young barely legal kids go out Friday. So you can see your movie and go do your jitterbug crayons!
I went dancing with PK befor and owned that muthafuckin’ dance floor like I was Fred Berry!
I’m not really wild about dancing personally, so I would be one of those guys hanging back. Maybe start taking dance lessons. Not because you need them but so you would have somebody to dance with. Just a thought.
honey babe, i haven’t danced in years, but when i did, i use to love the slow cose ones the best. and of course, some of the more wild ones too. hey ivan, can you still do the batusi, i can?
perhaps I (we all?) don’t like to dance because
A. it makes no sense to me what the purpose of it is or why people do it to begin with
B. I look like a moron when I try because of A
C. I’d spill my drink because of B
D. I’d spend a fortune because of C.
Dancing blows… and the only thing worse than dancing… is voluntarily spending time watching idiot B-list stars trying to dance every fucking week.
So, zZz, are you telling me that when a truly kick ass, hard rocking, face melting song by your favourite band of all time is played, you never, NOT ONCE, head banged or, at the bare minimum, bopped your head or tapped your foot in time to the music without realizing it? I would find it hard to believe if you didn’t. And if you do, then whether you chose to believe it or not, you ARE dancing. Essentially, that’s all that dancing is. Yeah, there are tons of different dance genres/types that follow some sort of formal structure or what have you, but when you boil it down to it’s essence, it’s just people moving to music. It’s a primal thing. It stems back to when we were all living in caves and hunting wooly mammoths. It was a means of communication, of expression, story telling/history/entertainment, solidarity, conflict/battle,(NZ All Blacks haka anyone?), and a vital component of courtship and mating. (Most, if not ALL of which, is still used today) When the music is good, the beat is good, the atmosphere is right it’s almost like an electical circuit. You have to conciously prevent your body from moving.
Not to mention, depending on what kind of dance you’re doing, it’s a fucking work out! It would rival any type of cardio routine you’d do at a gym.
I DO agree with you, however, about watching idiot B-list stars on tv. Fucking hate that show.
if tapping my foot is ‘dancing’… then there is a lot more dancing going on than op realizes…. I don’t really consider headbanging or tapping my foot dancing any more than I would consider a “mosh pit” dancing…
and I know plenty of metalheads that would not take kindly to you calling it as such.
I guess now that we have actual communication options… such as words…
dancing is essentially useless as a form of connection.
A form of expression perhaps…
but what expression is construed when you look like a drowning lemur…
flailing about idiotically?
Mel’s *awesome* at dancing.
Especially with speakers!
<3
I don’t dance unless I have a partner, typically, I mean I guess I do I just don’t really get into it, I just kinda nod and move my feet a little bit. I feel like a tool full on breakin it down by myself, just like I think the guys who do so look like tools.
Mel is a freakin master dancer. If only I had moves like that..
Did you ever ask someone to dance then they start fucking around with their Crackberry? I just walk away.
Sheesh! I’m I that boring?
Hahahaaa ooh that speaker! What a gent. Seriously though, I’m pretty much the worst dancer and I don’t really care. Dancing with Myself by Billy Idol is really not one anyone should have to watch me dance to 😀 dats ma shit. Boys have it easy, you just have do that moving from side to side thing while clutching onto a lady or drink.
Oh and Zed, the way to dance without spilling your drink is to do shots.
Pffft your dance skills are far superior to mine, Mel. And Zed, according to Wikipedia (so it must be true), headbanging is indeed a form of dancing. 😛

ah… I’m on board with the shots…. it’d take a good 10 of em to get me ‘swaggering’ …
whatever the hell that is.
Boys DO NOT have it easy… far from in fact.
Women can get away with anything on the dance floor…. (elaine benes aside of course)
Generally, guys either look awkward or absolutely flaming gay.
Damned if I know how the hell Napoleon Dynamite managed to figure out the sweet spot.
Wanna see kinda what I mean?
how women can look amazing while men would look absolutely ridiculous?
wish granted:

I’d totally do the last guy in that set. ^^
i like the first one and you know why
my point still stands….
your being hizzorny for the pizzecker aside.
i don’t dance unless i’m by myself so i understand zed. i make elaine look good
Cheese and rice, zed, I just mentioned the guy’s attractive — I wasn’t being ‘hizzorny.’
Perhaps I just want his life insurance 😉
… wouldn’t put it past ya.
that does seem to be your ‘thing’.
fuck for a buck….
holla’ for a dolla’…
do something strange for a lil’ piece of change….
