When I dance, it’s torture. Utterly excruciating, wanna-scratch-my-eyeballs-out torture. I avoid it as much as I can, but in some situations, there’s just no getting out of it. In those deadly times, I generally just sway my body from side to side, occasionally telling my legs to move here and there.. feel like a complete moron.. look at people around me and note what their moves are, determine if I can handle it and after they’re done, steal it.. the whole time I’m praying for it to be over now please God! Yes I am socially inept. Sue me.
People never seem to understand this.. They assume its shyness or just plain weirdness. Just dance, they tell me helpfully! Just do what you feel like! Let your body move! Don’t think about it, just dance! But dammit it doesn’t work! I certainly don't feel like dancing! I stand there and I’m thinking what do I do now? I can’t stop thinking.. how the hell do you stop thinking?? Someone wanna tell me? And please, no helpful suggestions of getting myself drunk..
I don’t seem to have this problem with jiving.. I think jiving is tolerable for me because there are a select number of moves that you have to do. You don’t have to come up with anything yourself.. So yes, jiving I can do :)
My problem seems to be only with free-style dancing. Yeah, that means the whole dance-like-no-ones-watching routine.. the kind anyone can do..
Sigh
I’ve heard about the famous “dance to your inner beat” suggestion. Well, I’ve tried and I don't hear any beats, rhythm, trumpets, six strings... no music whatsoever! My inner iPod is obviously kaput. What do I do?
