Not today! Although my definition of dancing is a bit different. I am going to a metal gig so I am happy and could get up and start slamming around to my beats at any moment, yet I still feel as though I might drink some poison first (just to ease any potential anxieties of the evening.)

I actually plan on getting fairly gassed by the time I am in there and waiting for the main act to come on stage but we'll see how it goes. I've not really done this before.

I only do this all the time! Dancing is one of the most satisfying, fun things you can do, and never fails to make me feel a bit better. Dancing with a partner is super, but nothing beats cranking up your speakers and dancing through every room in your house when no one is around! I tend to get a little crazy with my moves though.

...../
k...I'm back now...seriously though, it really makes me feel better. I turn on some AFI and go crazy...I also play with my cats like that....FUN!!!

I wouldn't have trouble being physically silly, but I would making noise (which is also something the book I read that suggested this said to do).

Actually, before I dare to sing in voice class, I leave the room and go to the bathrooms, where I wait for anyone inside to leave. Once I'm alone, I kind of jog around and shake out my arms and stuff before I go back. I'm still terrified after doing it, but I feel like I might not be able to get any sound out of my throat without it. It makes me feel a little less closed off in my head and more connected to my body and the physical world beyond me, I guess.

Thats an interesting idea but secretly i'm going to try it. Shhhh

Not sure doing it in a car factory would go down well. Health and safety might be an issue as well if I start doing a water spray move.

Yup, I really enjoy dancing, and am learning the melbourne shuffle... I practise a little at work, which is in a supermarket after hours. Occasionally workmates see me and laugh a bit. But I'm not self-conscious about dancing... I like doing it in clubs, etc.

I want to learn how to do the texas two step.

I do step workouts to upbeat music for about an hour, specifically to enhance my mood. it never fails. What you are doing is in the same vein. It really helps.

I'm having a dance party with Shakira and Ricky Martin.

Sorry for the horrible video quality but that's what this thread made me think of. lol

ShyFX · 11-05-2009, 10:01 AM

Yeah, I do that when I'm alone and in a good mood. Sometimes there's not even music playing. :P

Procrastinator · 11-05-2009, 01:34 PM
