Maybe I’m just being a kill joy, but does anyone actually enjoy dancing? I’m not a fan myself, and it always strikes me as strange that people think you “have” to dance. Let’s be honest, very few people are actually any good at dancing – most of us look ridiculous and we know it, so why put yourself through it?
I can see the attraction of dancing if you’re doing it for fun or want to learn how to do it properly. Most people just turn up at an event under the illusion that they are actually “pretty good”, when in fact everyone is just trying to ignore how bad everyone else is at dancing. This is made worse when someone is forced to dance – you can almost feel the horror in their face as they’re dragged onto the dance floor against their will.
Then again, some people love it, so I must be missing out on something. It’s not a question of being too reserved for most people though, it’s just the realisation that you can’t dance, and hence it’s really not a good idea to show it off in public.
Yes, you could just stick to simple dance moves in public. But where’s the fun in that? I can’t see much point in dancing if it’s not something you enjoy – although there seem to be some occasions where it becomes unavoidable.
If I go to a party, wedding or some other event then you definitely won’t see me on the dance floor. If you’re not good at something it’s generally not a good idea to do it in public, so in this case it’s something I’ll avoid! For people who like dancing, that’s great, but don’t feel the need to try and force other people to do it!
Anyway, rant over…..
