You've never met Susanna Hoffs!
No, and what a pity. Cute, talented, and a fellow guitarist. I could have drawn HUGE crowds at my open-mic jams with her on stage, even if the people had no idea who she was. Sharing vocals, sharing guitar-parts with that crisp jangly Ric...

I dance from the obvious to the inspired.

I used to be scared that I would dance like a fool, but now I will even dance to good disco. I took cotillion for a year, so I know a few classical steps, but that 7th grade all I remember of my partners are sweaty white gloves.

The best place to dance for me is out of my element, free form and out of state.

I used to breakdance in high school. Now my back and legs are so tight I can barely do a cartwheel.

I like a lot of groovy, bass-driven music, so it's maybe strange that I don't really dance, but it's all just a bit awkward and unco :P I do listen to music almost all day everyday though, and I tend to wobble around and generally have a good time, I just can't string any steps together.

I'd love to swing dance, it's amazing to watch!

Dancing season is here. Days are getting shorter; nights are getting longer. Polish up them dancing shoes and let's go dancing.

Can I dance? You betcha! :biggrin: I had ten years of dance classes, starting when I was five years old. My mom enrolled me in ballet, hula, and tap. Later on I took belly dancing and still today when I hit the gym there is a dance class that I’ll jump into. If there is live music at a club or party then you can bet I’ll be the last one off the dance floor.:biggrin: My max is 3 hours straight. Sometimes my hair is dripping wet and my feet ache like hell. Don’t ask my age cause I won’t tell. Let me just say that I put the young ones to shame.:biggrin: Rhythm and music go hand in hand. Can’t sit still when you hear great tunes!

Don't we have a video of you and a group doing dance to Thriller? That was pretty good. And about that time of the year. :smile:

Greg, I'd love to see that video of you dancing! A sweet Halloween treat would be extra special. :biggrin:

Halloween is a fun time of the year around my neighborhood. I get close to two hundred kids hitting me up for candy. I've already decorated my front lawn and porch with all kinds of stuff. It's a fun time to be outdoors. Hope it doesn't rain cats and dogs. (lol)

Square, ballroom, and can do some pretty nifty fifties stepping.

Nope. I do think knowing how to dance, the fancy formal kind, could turn in handy eventually, though.
