Off and on for several years I took ballroom dancing lessons, anticipating that "real dancing" would come back into fashion. So far I've been wrong. I've never been able to get interested in rock-style dancing. I find it boring, lonely and undignified. No rules -- no point to it. And the music is SO ugly. It's like dancing to the beat of a jackhammer, except for a few slow songs. But try to find a woman to dance to one of those! They won't unless they're either drunk or in love (mild exageration).
