Did You Learn To Dance Or Just Pick It Up As You Went Along?

My mum taught me to jive when I was young but I’d have loved to have learnt ballroom dancing.
I was just a natural.

My family and i would turn sunday into house choirs and music. We were dancing laughing and listening to music while each doing chores. Sunday cleaning up. Was fun i still go home sometimes just for Sunday chores. And dinner

@Primnproper i know right we would dance and laugh while cleaning. No better way. Looked forward to clean up day all week. And sunday dinner

My dad taught me all sorts of Latin and ballroom dances when I was very young
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Jenny1234 awe.. that’s lovely.
Lilymoon · F
Never learned but I was good at keeping the beat with my feet 💃🏼 🤭
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Lilymoon 😁 well that’s a start!
Carissimi · F
I was always a good dancer. I won the “twisting” competition at school. Not so much now with my feet and knees hurting.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Carissimi 😁

@Primnproper The closest I get to dancing now is my cardio workouts either step aerobics or floor.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Carissimi yeah, I’m lucky if I can make it around the bedroom without tripping over! 😁

While dating my wife and I took ballroom classes. I’m way out of practice now but used to dance quite often.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@SageWanderer I’m very envious! 🙂
SageWanderer · 70-79, M
@Primnproper I guess maybe that helped tone my legs too.🤭
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@SageWanderer a lot of men have much better legs than women… lol
TheOthetAcc · 36-40, M
I honestly never picked up dancing, always had two left feet
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@TheOthetAcc what about a slow dance shuffle. Lol
TheOthetAcc · 36-40, M
@Primnproper look I bop my head to the beat, that's it👀. Judge me
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@TheOthetAcc 😂😂 okay then! 👌
ElizaJane · 51-55, F
Dancing school all the way 💃
Back in my day foxtrot and waltz were marketable skills.
You know, like typing 🤣
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@ElizaJane I’m so jealous! 😁

Fake it until you make it
BLP11520 · 61-69, M
@BLP11520 no uptempo EDM for me
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@BLP11520 not this time but it will come.. lol

We had dancing lessons at school. They didn't teach me to dance the way I do now.
OliRos · 18-21, F
@Primnproper 🙄 I had my moments. 😂
OliRos · 18-21, F
@ArtieKat Which would make you semi-quavery, I suppose. 🤔
ArtieKat · M
@OliRos We had a music master at school nicknamed "minim"

My older sister taught me the basics.. My high school girlfriend and I perfected our slow dancing style. Everyone gave up on me as a fast dancer, so Lynn just danced with other guys. Then we took country dancing lessons, and I could do that.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@exexec that looks amazing fun, country dancing
exexec · 61-69, C
@Primnproper We had lots of fun. Several couples took lessons together. Then for years we would go to a big country ballroom and dance, swapping partners, even dancing with strangers. It was a well operated place with no out of control drunks. Just fun.

I learnt ballroom dancing as a young child. It helped a little and gave me some confidence but the knowledge disappeared out of my head. Dancing is fun but I had very little opportunity to use it and I spent more time in sports then dancing :3

Ballroom dancing was fun. It will always be fun to learn and there is time still.
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
My mama made me take ballroom dancing lessons 😒
Guess which one is me...or is it "I"?

@NoThanksLeon omg! I love that song! You have to dance when thats on! 😁
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
I had ballet lessons at school. Ballet is the 'grammar' of dance . . once you learn the fundamentals you can pick most things up 🙂
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@SunshineGirl awesome!
cd4259 · 61-69, M
Learnt Ballroom dancing as a kid/teen, was a very standard thing back in the 60's & 70's
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@cd4259 I wish I had done it.
cd4259 · 61-69, M
@Primnproper Forgotten more than I remember and haven't danced with anyone since my late wife who passed away in 2016
neither, really.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@stound that erratic huh? 😁
@Primnproper that graceful.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@stound 😂
Paladin · 56-60, M
I don't dance. Never have, and I imagine I never will.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Paladin not even a slow one with a partner..
Paladin · 56-60, M
@Primnproper No. Which is ok, because my wife doesn't dance either.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Paladin bonus!!😁
Sidewinder · 36-40, M
Some of it came naturally and some of it I learned.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Sidewinder that’s great!
Sidewinder · 36-40, M
@Primnproper Some moves I can learn quickly just after watching them.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@Sidewinder I’m picturing you now in front of a tv practising those moves! 😁
Some contemporary dances I learned at parties, Pop taught me some of the traditional Creole dances he learned from Grand-maman, and also to salsa dance, which he and my mother did often.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@bijouxbroussard sounds fun!😁
HumanEarth · 56-60, F
I make up my own dance moves. I'm a wild and crazy woman guy.

Azlotto · M

DDonde · 31-35, M
I'm not really a dancer.
Primnproper · 56-60, F
@DDonde that’s fair enough!👍
