My wide was a dance major . I was/am a klutz with no sense of rhythm. She thought I was ok anyway What made it tough is she was such a good dancer (and really hot) that everyone would watch her. "Wow look at her - hey who is she with? WTH???"
It’s not that I can’t dance but it’s not something that I have a strong desire to do in public, so I wouldn’t care if a guy didn’t or couldn’t dance.
Raising my kids, I made sure that they both (my daughter and my son) knew how to properly slow dance, and well as some basic freestyle "all purpose" dance movements.
Being able to dance, even a little bit, is a life skill that will serve them well from time to time. Like at their own wedding, for instance, or at the school prom, it will be expected. Always sitting and refusing to dance makes you look like a social stick-in-the-mud.
No one expects you to be a great dancer, but refusing to dance no matter what, is going to be a social handicap, in my opinion.

Okay so I have a date for Friday. I wanted to do one thing but she convinced me we need to go to a bar/club with a dance floor, because she loves dancing.
Stupid old me, just happy that I got a date, didn't realize I may have bitten off more than I could chew because I'm not a good dancer, I hate dancing and for the life of me refuse to dance.
Yeah, because dancing is such an important quality to have in the grand scheme of a relationship. Marrying an unemployed. Fred Astaire will get old real fast when they are losing their house. I would cancel the date. You’re just going to be watching her grinding with some other guy. Good luck.
Not being willing to dance is a dealbreaker for me, but they certainly don't have to be good at dancing.
I love to dance, and it's an important part of my life. If a guy won't let loose and dance, he's too uptight for me. I love goofy people who don't take themselves too seriously. The most attractive thing a guy can do who "doesn't dance" is get out on the dance floor with me anyway. Act goofy. Be funny. Do crazy moves. That is SO VERY attractive. Just as attractive as a guy who is actually a good dancer (awesome whenever I find one of those).
That said, I don't think anyone should change themselves. If you hate to dance, find someone else who feels the same way. My best girlfriend can't stand dancing. I'm sure there are plenty of people who feel either way about it.

Lucky for me I'm not dating Craig Ferguson so I don't have to prove anything to him.
I know how, just can't.
Ha, my ex loved to dance. I can't dance and told her so. I'm in love and want to try and know women give points just for the effort alone. We took classes for a few weeks, practiced at home. Didn't take that long for her to smile and say, "you were right, you can't dance". I will get out at a wedding or so for a song, but it's not comfortable or fun for me or my partner for more than a song or two.
Couldn't keep a beat for three measures if my life depended on it, I love music but don't have even the tiniest bit of a rhythm bone in me anywhere.
I'm sure it limits my dating options but I can't change that so I guess I'll chase the smart ones instead of the bouncy ones.

I thought I couldn't dance but a friend convinced me otherwise. What did I do, I just allowed myself to enjoy myself. I tapped in with the rhythm. I didn't try too hard. I didn't care if anyone was watching...etc. She says I'm good. At the same time, I'd have to be in the mood.
But couldn't keep a beat for three measures? You're still a good person as far as I'm concerned.
