Do you know how to dance??

[Lawrence Ng]

No, I do mean going to club and moving your shoulders in some crazy unorthodox manner whilst holding some beer in your hand. Do you know how to do some form of structured, co-ordinated dance that is recognized in one form or another?

Back in university I joined the ballroom dancing club where we learned the 10-dance (Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot, Quickstep, and Viennesse Waltz for standard. Jive, Rhumba, Cha-Cha, Samba and Paso Doble for latin.)

Eventually I went on to learn less rigid, more flexible dances like Salsa and the Argentine Tango (which is my favorite now). My friends and I did some Hip Hop too. I never go into Swing though.

When I was a kid I took dance lessons and we did mostly swing and early hip-hop dance. This was in Russia so we weren't exactly break-dancing. I even competed in a swing dance tournament once, although my partner and I didn't make it past the first round. My partner was kinda dumpy and had really clammy hands. I had black velveteen pants and big glasses. The idea behind all this, I think, was to improve my posture.

I don't remember any movie or book (although I only read all Fleming's, not the new ones) where Bond joined a ballroom dance club? But if there is one, it must be with Brosnan. He's clearly a poop pusher.

[Reef]

breakdancing, pop, some walking (heel-toe stuff), my own hip hop improv, etc. I was pretty good in the end of high school, but that was a few years ago. I can still impress a crowd though.

Well of course not. You don't see him learning to shoot or to paraglide, either. James Bond already knows how to do everything that a perfect gentleman/daredevil/killer should. Including ballroom dancing.

I wasn't referring to knowing how to dance. Nothing wrong with learning step or two to get yourswelf laid, but ya don't have to join the ballroom dance club to do that. Clearly Bond wouldn't have done that.

[Nottom]

I took a swing class back when it was big. It was fun, but I've never really done any of it outside of the class.

Good point, he'd probably take private lessons with Pussy Calor or whatever her name was. Or he would just pick it up spontaneously after watching someone for like 3 minutes.
But, since virtually no one in the real world is that suave or talented, dance classes seem like a reasonable compromise. And I'm guessing they're a decent place to meet girls.

[Phat Mack]

We had to take dance lessons once a week when I was in the 6th grade (50's). We learned to waltz, fox trot, polka and swing. I'd advise any guy to learn to at least fake these. If you do, picking up girls at weddings is astoundingly easy. JMO

I lost a bet with my girlfriend once and had to do a version of 'Billie Jean' where I was Michael Jackson once. Learned how to moonwalk and everything. She's a dance instructor so she had to teach me.

MJ's moonwalk is classic, but outdated. Usher's glide (sideways moonwalk) is where it's at.

I know the Electric Slide and the Chicken Dance. Always good for weddings, you know.

[BusterStacks]

Usher is a tool. He looks like a ninja turtle.

I've gone out of my way to not learn either of these along with the Macerena.

My wife and I take a social dance class. we've done east coast, west coast and triple step swing, Box, rotary and a couple other waltzes, rhumba, cha cha, fox trot, salsa and nightclub two step. it's a blast.

for you single guys: if I were single, I'd join a class immediately. especially one at a community college. the one my wife and I go to is at the local CC, so it's pretty damned cheap. plus, since it's a college class, we're required to switch partners periodically. lots of single chicks in there and some of them are pretty hot. I shoulda done this when i was single.

btw, for jake: Gene Kelly said in an interview shortly before his death, that the sole reason he learned how to dance, way back in his childhood, was to meet chicks.

I also won a world championship in hula. well, my halau did. actually, it was the Hawaii State Secondary Schools Hula Competition. since, as far as we could tell, there were no other high school hula competitions anywhere else in the world, we proclaimed ourselves world champions.

Jake, to wake you up from that proverbial hole you've been living in all your socialess life: Girls like guys who can dance. Hint..Hint..

[EliteNinja]

I can only do those smooth flowing rave moves, I had a lot of time on my hands working in Saskatchewan.
Therefore I cannot dance to hiphop.

I can headbang if that helps as well as a mean Air guitar, which is proper dancing as there are competitions and everything (not that I have ever enterted one).

Tell me, baby... do you like it like this?

Did you take lessons? Were you in the university air guitar club? I wonder if James Bond was?
