Default Do you know how to dance??

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.

Default Re: Do you know how to dance??

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.

Default Re: Do you know how to dance??

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.

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.
