Women the world over constantly complain that their husbands never ask them to dance whenever the occasion presents itself.
Luckily for us men, these occasions are few and far between. Weddings are the biggest culprit, where failure to dance may be seen as an insult to the happy couple, although it’s a good bet the GROOM has no desire to dance either. Especially that FIRST dance, where everyone is looking.
And that, basically, is the problem. Men generally feel like complete dorks on the dance floor-and we are afraid of looking less than macho as we do the FUNKY CHICKEN. At least the bride-groom “First Dance” is a slow one---if the groom doesn’t step on the bride’s feet and/or the dress-and manages to get through the song without fainting, it is generally considered a success.
In the free-form, strut-apart-from-your-partner dancing, we feel like total idiots as we shake our groove thing—hopefully in time with the beat of the music. Do I high-step it? What do I do with my hands? Do I look gay? These are all questions that fly through our heads as we simultaneously attempt to keep eye contact with our partner, whose dancing (no matter how lame) always sends us into comparison-mode, with the inevitable result of us feeling inadequate by contrast.
The only thing worse is seeing a guy next to you that dances like Michael Flatley from “Lord Of The Dance”……SHOWOFF!!!! . Now I REALLY look like an imbecile!
Below is a hilarious clip that maybe you have seen-The Evolution of Dance….well over 100 MILLION views on YouTube..Enjoy!
