last night, my wife and i hanged out and saw lots of middle-aged man dancing, you know, it's still kinda summer time, and sort of hot during the day, but cool in the evening, so many people from nearby community would come out of their apartment to dance in some public open area, that's really great, which drove my wife to dance among them, but you know i'm not a danceman, i don't know how to dance and how to move my steps, so i feel quite embarassed to dance in the presence of so many people, thought they are strangers to me, but i still can't dance normally, which always irritates my wife, lol, if you were me, would you like to dance if you don't know how to dance.

I have been blessed being able to dance so I will and always dance the night away. However my fiance doesn't know how to dance and I always drag him up with. Honestly it doesn't matter if you think you can't dance but in reality we all can dance. Some are just better than others. There is nothing to be embaressed about. Just go and have a good time and feel the music through your body and before long you will be having fun.

I know how to dance but my fiance doesn't. As I tell him who cares who is looking at you at least your having fun. That is what life is all about.

I am located in Shanghai, China. There are many middle-aged or gray-headed men and women dancing in the square every night!! Well, I will dance even I don't know how to dance coz I believed I can follow my partner's steps. People say, you can dance if your partner can!! Just believe yourself and believe your partner, you will make it!~~

I actually do not know how to dance. And if my husband felt like dancing I'd still dance with him. Not because I would be making a fool out of myself but so he knows that as long as I'm with him I'd be confident enough to do anything and still feel secure. I'd be able to forget that there were so many other people there and just get lost in his eyes. I think the reason your wife got a bit annoyed with you is because she sees others having a good time dancing with their partners and she has no choice but too sit and watched. even though your not a good dancer you should try so that she knows that your comfortable enough to be with her no matter the situation. If your afraid of looking bad then I suggest you secretly take some dance classes and surprise her one night , so that she knows that you remembered OR just take the class with her and she'd be happy.

Who cares if you have two left feet, or no rhythm and stumble all over yourself when you try and dance... life is just way too short to care about what other people think of your dancing or you in general... just dance like no one is watching and have fun... we too often lack fun in our day to day lives... so go on and dance with your wife!

i guess even if i dont dance, when i am in such a crowd, i will just enjoy the time and enjoy myself.. i will probably try and forget that i dont have talent for dancing. :)

Dear friend, Actually I am not a good dancer but if I hear a good rocking songs in the party I automatically get dancing. May be just moving in my own style and I would enjoy that too. I like dancing in my own style more it would be more interesting if many are there may be a dancing party club or pub. There are many whom I had seen in parties that even if they do not know to dance they make or do some steps on the dance floor and it really amazing to see that.

Well i love to dance and in my opinion i dont think i do it that well. however, dancing in my eyes isnt to put a show on for others but to have fun, and thats why i do it, because i enjoy it. I guarantee most clubs arent filld with people that CAN dance, especially since a majority of them end up drunk before they will get the guts to go on the dance floor. lol

Same thing happened to me except it was a school dance, most people were dancing but I felt embarrassed to dance, I thought I would look extremely foolish. The next dance after that I started to dance, I learned some dance moves off the internet lol. So my answer is no I would not dance if i didn't know how to.

how do we know that dancing that we do is the right dancing i mean dancing is the freedom of moving ur body to how u feel when listening to music to a rythm so i just dance i dont even care if it good or not as long as me and my partner are having fun :) so go out and just dance with ur wife

You should give it a try. Dancing is fun, we all are not Fred Estair or Ginger Rogers. It is just suppose to be fun. Just loosen up and have a good time. If your that terrible, maybe your wife will stop asking you or get irritated with you. Life's a dance :)

It depends. Normally, I don't like to dance 'cause I really don't have the coordination for it. But if I'm feeling really good and the atmosphere is really light and fun, I can be tempted into doing it lol.

It felt so embarassing. I once have a dance in christmas party, they force me to dance but I don't do it. I usually dance but I don't know how to dance by cheering me up, it relieves your embarassment. There are people who can naturally dance even though they have no experience in dancing, my brother is one of them. I'm quite suprised when I see him dance in rythm.
