Anduril Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 I looked for a thread here but didn't find one .... I love dancing, when I was a little kid I wanted to be a ballerina ... way too tall for that. I took a couple years of jazz dance in college (did a few concerts even), jazzercise at the gym, went clubbing every weekend in grad school, took hip hop lessons years ago. I didn't dance for many years but I'm taking salsa classes now. I feel happier when I'm dancing ... anyone else feel the same way?

littlewings Posted February 3, 2013 Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Yes!I did jazz, ballet and tap dance when I was younger, but due to the high costs of it, I had to stop when I got to about age 10. Now I really just have the dancing when I go out with friends on the weekends, the occasional zumba classes or me being a goof around the house... But it definitely always makes me feel good!

smile.its.me Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I really love dancing even though i have the rhythm of a rhino doing ballet everytime i go to a class i end up having a blast! However, due to my rhino rhythm it takes me a while to get up the courage to go to new classes (i've moved recently) so i haven't been in a while but this has reminded me how much i enjoy it so may have to find a local class!

Starstuff Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Ooh, me! I did ballet when I was little, and then jazz and modern in high school and college. These days, I mostly do fire dancing (poi and fans). Dance is most definitely my physical activity of choice, no matter how much I might enjoy the other activites I do.

HandSewnMama Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I love dancing! Currently I'm doing Scottish Country, square and contra (well, when I'm in a town that has them!), but I'm hoping to learn ballet, Highland, Irish step, English Country, Morris, swing, salsa, et cetera... Nothing makes me happier. Quote Link to comment
WizardTrip Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I lived in the Dominican Republic growing up and learned to Merengue there. I took Swing dance lessons with girlfriend back around 97-98 and learned a lot. Since then, I've dabbled in salsa, tango, and several other ballroom styles. I've always had fun with it. And of course, I love going to clubs Quote Level 6 Wizard of Beer Warrior STR 21.25 | DEX 5.75 | STA 7.75 | CON 3.50 | WIS 9.50 | CHA 3.25 Twitter | Epic Trip | Current Challenge Previous Challenges: 1 2 3 4 5 *the warrior formerly known as icedtrip and former dothraki god of thunder furyan* Link to comment

Anduril Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I love going to clubs I loved going to clubs when I was in grad school in Chicago -- they had some amazing ones there.

Heranje Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I love to dance! Never learned any technique, but I've had a couple of salsa lessons which I adore, Zumba is up there in my favourite workouts, and I love going out dancing to good music with my friends.

minderly Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yes! All types. I have danced most of my life. Now that I'm at an office job and not around any academy, too old for college groups etc. I just dance in the community. Swing dancing on Wednesdays, line dancing on Thursdays, Tango Tuesdays. It's amazing what you can find! Quote Link to comment
Niwa Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I love to dance, but have never done it professionally or gone to school for it. When I was young, I was forced to do a lot of folklore dancing (school stuff) and enjoyed it. One of my goals once I lose sufficient weight is to maybe take a class and include it into my routine. For now, Just Dance on the Wii is where I get my groove on haha. Quote Niwa no niwa ni wa, niwa no niwatori wa niwaka ni wani wo tabeta. Link to comment
minderly Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I also love Just Dance on Wii!! Is there any way for people to play pvp on Just Dance?! Whether it be through the game or just unofficially on here? Quote Link to comment
Niwa Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I just bought Just Dance 2, and I played a bit over the weekend while alone at home. I've never done anything like it before, so I felt kind of silly haha. But it was fun after a while. I don't think there is any PVP set up though. You may have to start it!

Sea Level Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I'm a swing dancer myself. Sadly, I live 185 miles from my nearest swing dancing venue, so I only get to go once a month.
