Dancing

Maybe this thread means I am a big nancy-boy, but I don't care.

The wife and I have been going to dance classes - latin and ballroom. I highly recommend it - its all of good fun, energetic and a good laugh.

When I was growing up and in early adulthood, I hated dancing or being anywhere near a place where dancing was in progress. You wouldn't have got me onto a dance floor at knife-point! This naturally affected (badly) my prowess with the laydeez.

So when we got married I was dreading the first dance, but suggested taking lessons, so we could make a decent fist of it anyway. We took 4 private lessons and - much to my surprise I really enjoyed it.

Even though what we learned was only very basic, even knowing a simple routine gave you such confidence. Our first dance was a major success as a result - there's a cracking photo of our guests - about 4 of them standing in a row watching the dance, each with their jaw hanging wide open at my dance brillance.

These lessons are a follow up - same instructor, but public classes this time, so there are many couples.

I really like it - so far we have started to learn the waltz, foxtrot, cha-cha-cha and salsa.

I have the grace of a baby elephant and the sex appeal of a bull walrus - so I obviously look a real fool trying to dance the salsa - but its just so much fun. The wife is in stitches throughout at the sight of me.

Do we have any dark horses here, any hidden dancers?

If I have a son, I will advise him to learn to dance as early as possible - if you can dance, you could have any women eating out your hand. Even the beautiful Alessandra.

This will be one of the major learning points which I will pass on to my progeny :)

Yeah...

 

I don't know if I'll be sending my son to dance classes, to be fair. These are his formative years, and I'm doing my best to raise him as a heterosexual. Dance classes can do no good at this age.

 

I'm not suggesting you're light on your feet or anything, I'm just saying both my sisters danced competitively and I know the kind of lads that particular area attracts.

 

I was reticent to send him to Ice Skating, given the kind of lad that attracts in Europe, but over here it's an Ice Hocky prerequisite, rather than a slidy version of the Duthie Park bogs after 9pm.

A somewhat mixed response, as expected :laughing:

I never had the impression you leant towards any particular sexuality lol ;)

I WISH I was light on my feet - currently I lurch / stomp around like Hermann Munster.

 

And I never mentioned competition - need to walk, before I can run!

 

It is funny to imagine the kind of judges comments my efforts might attract :laughing:

dancing is for faggots

Noted.

 

I found it strangely liberating, I take it this is a bad sign........

A great movie and, coincidentally, my Trolling persona in the early days of the internets.

 

How early?

 

14.4k dial up boingboing modem through The Roaring Silence on Marischal Street.

 

Trolling Lesbian and Alcoholic support groups, on real time message boards (more advanced than today's static message boards) using the Seven persona... great days.

 

This was back when porn was primarily downloaded off the newsgroups, Forte Free Agent in particular, and took about 40 minutes to download a single picture of some chick sucking dick.

 

Jesus, but there were some fucking ropey alt.binary newsgroups back then.

 

Anyone remember the alt.binary newsgroups?

 

I think they've cleaned them up nowadays, but by christ the internet was like the fucking Wild West back then if you knew where to go.
