I can’t dance.

I didn’t know this when I was a little. When I took dance classes, they would put me in the back. I never caught on. Through time and many failed audition attempts, I realized that I sucked.

I always thought I wasn’t too bad though, when I danced at home, by myself, where no other living organism could see me. No, pressure, right? My body is free to move as it pleases. I’ve danced in front of the mirror before, I didn’t think I looked too bad.

I dance around my room as part of my cardio on the days I do strength training. I recorded myself yesterday, because you know, I’m just that narcissistic. Like most people, I am infinitely better in my head. The difference is that I never thought I was very good to begin with.

I thought I at least lifted my arms and legs straight. I look like some sort of monkey. I don’t even look like I’m standing up straight. I’m not as bad as Elaine or anything, but it’s bad. In my head I’m all graceful and in reality, not so much. I deleted the video right after I watched it.

Maybe I’m really not that bad, maybe it was the camera distracting me. Either way, you will never see me dancing in public.

–edit– ok, so I took another video today, after I was warmed up and everything. It wasn’t as bad, much more like what I look like in my head. I still say I suck though *nods* –/edit–

  1. LOL! I can’t dance either!!! So maybe it was a good thing we didn’t stay for that at the wedding? =P I’ve never seen a video of me dancing, and I don’t want to either… Hahaha.

  2. I can’t dance either, but when I’m drunk, I could care less, and bust my moves. haha.

    I dance in front of my mirror all the time, but I’d never record myself. The horror. haha

  3. If the inability to dance is hereditary, then I am living testament. I mean, I can imitate individual dance moves, but I can’t put it together into something that is considered a “dance”. =P

    So.. you gonna show us the video? =P Hahaha!

  4. I can’t dance. At all.

    I’ve tried. I’ve been in a dance class (because of theatre) and I failed miserably.

    Well, I can tap. I don’t know if that counts.

  5. Lol, I would say you should post the video, but if I recorded my own dancing, I probably would not post it myself. I too suck at such feeble movements of the body. I just don’t land on the beat.

  6. I think a lot of us can not dance. Though I get videoed at least once a month at practice, which does help show us if we are paddling correctly or not.
