Reading the Vanity Fair Oral History of Disco.
Love the quote from Fran Lebowitz:
Love the quote from Fran Lebowitz:
People want to dance because people want to have sex. Dancing is sex. That's why when people say, "I'm a great dancer," that's not actually what they mean.
So true. Though, in my experience, the guys that boast about being good on the dancefloor are usually severely lacking in the "rhythm" dept.

Is it more a case of:
A. You secretly like dancing but don't feel you're very good? (Which, following my logic above, is actually a good thing -- trust me.)
or
B. You really don't like dancing no matter how good or bad you feel you are at it. (In which case, if you were honest with yourself, are there other things you really don't like even though society -- and Fran Lebowitz -- says you should?)
or
C: You like watching dancing but don't like to do it yourself. (in which case, SG has a group for that.)
