I don't believe in the phrase, "can't dance for shit." Sure, there are some people who don't look good dancing, but they're still doing it. "Dance" is defined as " To move rhythmically usually to music, using prescribed or improvised steps and gestures." So the way I see it, as long as someone is moving how they want to move and are enjoying themselves, then they know how to dance.

That's where the problem lies with people that can't dance.

I dance well and love it, it kinda spurs me on djing, as I want to be the one making people on the dancefloor dance, like when I used be in their position

When I'm out at a club, I'm generally a booth whore, watching whoever's performing play, bobbing my head, and occasionally dancin' a bit if I'm so inclined, but I'm definitely not a dance floor whore by any stretch of the imagination, however...

When I'm spinning, I can't help but dance my ass off. I've been told more than once that just because of how much I dance around while I mix that I'm a lot of fun just to watch play, which I think is great, because I think a LOT of people who I end up playing for might not get as into it as they do if they saw me mixing like a robot a la PVD... I find it also REALLY helps me keep time, whether it's just moving my feet or busting out the quote en quote "Ferry fingers," pounding out a melody on the table...

Hey guys... just thinking the same thing, was gonna come on and post a thread about it, luckily someone did it for me

When im around the decks i have to move groove, jump around etc, and when i go clubbing i loooove to dance, i never thought i could.. but i think i manage quite well considering the amount of guys i see there looking really funny when they dance.. only hting is itll take me a while on the booze to get me there lol...

Im shitting it now because friday night its my first biggish club gig, playing here in adelaides number 1 trance night, peak-time set with the promoter / adelaides number 1 trance dj from 1:30-3:30

Im worried cus everyone there is gonna be alot older than me, with only a few of my mates which just turnded 18 with me dancing away.. not to sure to go mental and maybe look like a knob but have fun orrrr stay relaxed and mix
