Poll question: Are you a good dancer? How would you rate yourself from 1 to 10?
Got any stories about good or bad dancers? Ever practice at home in front of a mirror?

Hell, when it comes to music, I've got good enough rhythm & coordination, & used to be a rock drummer & all. However, I just could never put it all together when it came to dancing. I'd rate myself a 5 on the dance floor, and I'm not happy about that.

I've always envied people who were naturally great dancers, especially this one guy in college who was a real introvert on our freshman floor, and kind of goofy & dorky, too...or so we thought. One night he just happened to show up at this bar downtown where there was a band playing and where we were all trying to pick up chicks. We talked the introvert into having a few beers, and next thing he's asking some hot girl to dance and she actually accepted. Well we're all getting ready to laugh our asses off, but were we ever surprised. They hit the floor and the introvert just happens to be the best dancer anyone's ever seen. People were just standing there watching this guy dance. The hottest chicks were asking him to dance after that all night long. Jesus could he move. After that, he went from being the floor introvert to the dorm hero.

Damn, I wish I could dance like that!

1. You didn't include a category with negative numbers.
I am a heinous dancer. I dance like George Wanker Bush orates.

2. Wow, that's pretty bad!
What makes you such a terrible dancer? Just no rhythm? Really stiffen up?

8. I can relate to the music part
Being a former drummer who prides himself on rhythm, I can't believe how much I stiffen up when it comes to dancing. Yikes!

13. I understand..People used to ask me why I don't dance...
(being a Musician and all that)
I tell then "Well..I was always on stage and didn't really get a chance to practice".

Actually I just Suck! :)

9. It always came naturally to me.
Guess I have good rhythm although maybe too old to do splits anymore. LOL, maybe I don't drink as much anymore.

17. Now that's bad
Do you do things like just stumble around the floor real stiffly, or by any chance are you one of those people who hops around like you're on a pogo stick or something?

15. In 1969, put Motown Vinyl on the turntable
and I could cut the rug, clean it, refurbish and put it back where it came from before the song was done. When I took to the floor, the ladies would join me, three four or five at a time. When I was on, I was a 15.

28. Eleven
I got rhythm, I got moves, I got action, I got sexuality, I got emotion, and I got intensity.

I get down.

I'm it.

B-)
