What dance step do you do when you get on the dance floor?

Asked by charliecompany34 (7813points) February 28th, 2009

you’re at a wedding or banquet and the DJ plays “your song!” old or young, you find yourself doing “that step—that dance” of old or new.

when i get on the dance floor, i go back to “the bump” or “the bus stop” or the “bop!”

what do they call the “dance step” you always break out into?

do you embarrass or impress?

what was the name of that dance? does it set the party on fire? or is it dead in the water?

I dance like every character who has ever been cast as the one who can’t dance in a movie. I haven no sense of rhythm so I jump a lot. I do not, I repeat do NOT act out the words to the song.

All of my steps on the dance floor are usually missteps. The term ‘having two left feet’ to signify a lack of dancing skill? That’s me and I embarrass more than I impress.

I do try to blend in and have fun though, when I find the courage to hit the dance floor, so that should count for something probably.

I believe what I do is called the “sway & spazz” but I could be mistaken. It’s where I sway from side to side, drink a few more shots, then spazz the fuck out until I’m told to stop.

@Bri_L That’s me. I cant dance a lick. There is a Seinfeld episode where Elane is kinda doing these jerking movements. I dance just like that!

Its a twisting and flailing the likes of which have never been seen. I like to combine moves from all the dance media I’ve been exposed to. These include, the Oops, I did it again, the Pulp Fiction, La Vida Loca, and the Carlton.

@Sakata – The Sway and Spazz – that’s hysterical. My husband does the Sway and injure my wife’s feet. He doesn’t make it to shots!

I just seem to wriggle around rhythmically. It gets the booty-shakin’ job done.

Pretty much anything beginning with the. The row boat, The Sprinkler, The Lawnmower, The Spiderman. I’m white with no rhythm and if I’m not going to impress I figure I might as well entertain.

I pretty much just stand there and watch. I can’t ever seem to get into the mood to dance in public.
