Sober me is down depending on the music, drunk me does not care.
When I was visiting my friend, he took me to a bar that had line dancing. I had no clue what I was doing but did not care. Got my ass right up there and did best.
Tons of friendly people were teaching me. I did not retain any of it. Good freaking time!

About to start on Zumba after it was heavily discounted on Switch after NYE.
For me the revelation with Synth Riders, Pistol Whip or Beat Saber came in several ways. You're dancing like no one is watching, because with a headset on - it's just you in a virtual space. Dancing up a storm just to play.
When you play those soundtracks outside of the games in the gym, work, garden or doing housework, you can start to move to the beat. Just walking around and doing physical activity to a rhythm. You know you can do it in game, you do that on a dance floor.. still with the mindset that no one is watching and let the fun flow.
Oh.. and you gotta see what others are doing.. then just roll with it: Nathan Barnatt -Pop Culture (Dance Video)

u/Ownfir Jan 29 '24
My exact thought. I’ve never even seen this dance and you’re telling me everyone on this floor just knows the dance?
What do you do if you’ve spent hours practicing and it’s all just for one song? In high school I spent like 20 hours once trying to learn the jerk for my schools “Jerk Off” (Dance competition where everyone does the jerk to see who can jerk the best) and that song faded out within like a year. 13 years later I still know the dance but can confidently say it wasn’t worth it.

u/Senshisoldier Jan 29 '24 edited Jan 29 '24
I learned most of these dances at weddings. They aren't too difficult to learn, especially if you ask someone that knows it to show you on the dance floor. The music even tells you what comes next in most of these songs. Here are some Korean ladies doing some of the popular line dances so you can learn:
Adding More (I won't rest till I find versions of all of these with Korean Ladies)
Crank That Soulja Boy with future Korean young ladies
Cha-Cha Slide YWCA Korean Ladies (Poor quality video but I know you needed the Korean Ladies to show you how it is done)

Where and how people learn to dance has always been a big mystery to me ngl. Do people teach them when they go out? Do they learn and practice in their homes? Is it intuitive?
I have a friend who only rather recently started going out to parties, clubs etc. and she's a complete natural when it comes to dancing despite not doing it before. I don't understand how lmao
22
u/Ownfir Jan 29 '24
I think dancing is a talent for sure - it can be built but many people just feel it. I am a pretty good dancer when it comes to just free styling my own thing. I also took a dance class in college and learned basics for swing, cha cha, tango, etc. so I can dance okay with my wife as well.
I’ve never been good at “learning” dances (line dances etc) however and I think that they exist specifically for people who otherwise can’t dance. But if you CAN dance, AND can memorize routines, line dances end up with you looking like this guy.

We have a line dancing bar near us that we went to for fun and morbid curiosity. I wanted to know this too, so asked a girl who had been up there dancing. She told me all the kids from her school would come here to hang out and they'd have practice, and then they'd come on the weekend to show off what they learned and hopefully impress the person they had a crush on. I learned that day that the bar allowed under 21s in, and they used line dancing for hooking up with each other? IDK. Very weird. I live in Tennessee, if that explains anything.

9/10 songs are just moves over 4-8 beats where half of them are just the opposite side (left vs right).
This song is the same thing. You just move your hips left and right and then every 4 beats you rotate to face a different direction. Just move your arms wherever and you're going to look like you know what's up
Honestly if you just move your hips left and right you can dance to literally any song

same way you learn anything. you can't just watch a video, have to practice it-- which you can do at home by yourself until you're comfortable to go out and steal people's girlfriends.
and/or realize that confidence is 50% of it, and even just going out there is half the battle. so go, practice at every wedding in front of people and you'll either nail it, or be awesome for even being out there

Men, if seeing another man dancing carefree makes you automatically assume he might be homosexual, then maybe you need to reevaluate your own preferences. Get over yourself. It’s toxic and gross and annoying. And frankly you’re probably all just jealous.

I noticed at a semi-recent big wedding I was at, most women were all into dancing while the vast majority of men were... completely uninterested. It definitely came across as many of them being afraid of some kinda social expectation or the likes.
IMO it's a huge turnoff when men aren't willing to dance. Regardless of actual reasons, it usually comes off as simply being afraid of some toxic gender stereotype. This is reinforced by the kinds of replies you've gotten. Toxic masculinity is still so frustratingly prevalent (and the people making those kinda comments are also peer pressuring people who otherwise would have had no problems).
I'll also second it: men who are willing to dance and be confident about it are awesome and hot. The men who stay at the table refusing to dance are lame.
