Why Don't Folks Dance Anymore?
Went out tonight, typically we're only in bars when we play, but tonight we went to see some friends, good tunes, good beat, but folks don't dance anymore. What's up with that?

I danced, cause that's what I do, but the chicks that danced had that adolescent boy dance of raising their arms and bashing their head, wth?

I know I'm old, but damn, wth, I think it's pharmaceuticals kinda killing the instinct. Use to folks would dance, now they don't, kinda stand numb on the sidelines and nod their head, sad.

Hate to post and run, but hubby enjoyed the dancing, if you know what I mean...

Because everyone is too afraid to do something outside the norm.. what if they can't do the latest dance steps or stay in beat.. everyone is scared of their shadow these days :)

I get down!!!

I only danced when I was kind of drunk. I don't drink anymore, so I don't dance.

I associate dancing with celebration. Not much to celebrate lately.

Have you noticed that new music is sounding more and more miserable (violent/sad) everyday?

I should have said popular musicians/music, top 40 (sounds more like "bottom 40") the local bands around me still are upbeat.

Next life AU, I'm coming back as a dancing elephant! Or if, as I fear, I'll just wake up the same little turlte I've always been, then I'm gonna figure out a way to dance.

BTW, only seen Hubby dance with an instrument in his hands, but I think I'll be having him on the floor, only for slow one, soon ... maybe a few years, but Yea!

He's got rhythm, big time, but he only shows it on stage, you know, one of those introverted folks one on one, but on stage, he's amazing. Me, I'm the opposite, I'm a little freaked out up in front of folks, but when no one's focused on me, well, I'm a dancing turtle.

Anyway, bout to crash, good to see you friend! hf

Re: Why Don't Folks Dance Anymore?
Interesting..maybe it depends on the area? Here, people dance on a daily basis, but I do see more dancing at the clubs than the bars.

Karaoke might be somewhere to try...and there again some are better than others, but one of the few places where you will see different generations participating in dance and song.

I never have and never will dance to a live band, but have myself danced at many clubs, especially the after hours clubs. Maybe some just like to watch the band (I'd rather watch as they are they to entertain me..not me them, lol!) or it is a sign of the times (people are not has happy so they don't dance?).

Don't know..but I'm cutting footloose! :-)
