I was never able to learn, however much I tried. Something to do with my bad fine motor skills. AS-related, I suppose.

I loved to dance when I was drinking...one of my favorite things to do, but I can't do it sober...I miss it  I can't say I did it well, I think I probably looked pretty nerdy but I loved the feeling of spinning. I could never dance with soeone else though and when someone would approach me dancing on the floor and ask me to dance...it was very awkward. I would just say...."that is what I AM doing  )

| I love dancing, but I can be apprehensive sometimes. I don't know if i'm a good dancer by others standards, but I don't dance to look good, just to have fun |

I dance like a lead scarecrow in a tornado... it's not a pretty scene, and thus routinely avoided.

My dancing usually involves swaying/shoulder moving and headbobbing for rock and roll.  
I would love to be able to actually dance, though. I am personally in awe of ball room dancers - I think if I tried that I wouldn't have ankles left. I have a hard enough time walking on the flat in my running shoes without falling on my face (sadly, that is a literal statement, sigh  ), never mind being on the top of high heels while being spun around the room at exorbitant rates of speed.

I can dance if I'm feeling the music just right...especially stuff like boogie rock, that stuff gets me going. A little caffeine helps, too
Can't dance to that stuff that normal kids these days dance to, though...even the hip-hop and stuff, it's all just too slow for me...no soul, no energy, no nothing. I don't know how they do it. I wanna feel the adrenaline rush that the rhythm section are feeling while they pound those skins and pluck those strings. You can't get that from synthetic music.

People often confuse my dancing with grand mal seizures. I decided to abstain after the
paramedics got tired of being called for nothing. |

I remember people thinking I was weird when back in the eighties I wasn't able to get the steps you're supposed to make to dance rock&roll. That was when I definitely realized something was different about me from the rest of the people.

Yes. I like to listen to it, so I can feel the rhythm inside my body, like a stim. But I do this privately.
