It’s not like dancing makes of you a better person, does it? We can do what we please, if dancing is not on the list, should we just do it because everybody expexts that from us? No. I will not dance. I don’t care.
Dancing might not make you a better person, but many times, dancing is part of social interaction.
Some day I’ll take you, Camila, out to dance, and you will see how wonderful dancing is.
I have this irrational fear. I really don’t understand it . I am great with people. I have excelled at things like martial arts which involve the same movements. The thought of dancing however terrifies me. I start sweating my heart races etc. I live with my gf but haven’t told her I just avoid situations that would involve dancing. We have lots of sex so that is not a problem just never dance haven’t in almost 20 yrs. Help me I don’t know what is wrong with me.member
