My father's side is Anglo Saxon: cold, rational, harsh. My mother's side is Latin/Italian: emotional, expressive, prone to brow beating.
I inherited an Anglo Saxon personality from my father and the affluent Anglo Saxon community and social class I grew up in, mostly because I associate expressiveness with getting beat up emotionally by other white males when I was growing up and white men now.
So, just the thought of dancing repulses me.
I believe I have suffered what in classical times was called "mortification", not how we use the word "mortified" today meaning to be scared sh*tless, but meaning a total separation of the spirit from the body in which the body and its passions are "killed off", (the Latin root of "mortify" means death, like "muerte" in Spanish), or totally separated from the spirit, like the body and spirit are at war with each other.
Anybody with any knowledge or intuition or experience or observation of this in others have any comment???
Thanks.

It relies upon on the variety of live performance. We flow to rock live performance events the position easily no human being sits and if you're actually not leaping up and down you're completely out of position. We stated Linkin Park very last week and that i do not imagine a unmarried between the over 16,000 in that venue were sitting down. If anybody round you is seated then i think that's somewhat rude. The singer is a rustic singer, properly? So i think that is a touch a blended crowd. see you later as he did not do something else once safe practices gave him a caution, then i imagine safe practices did the right element.

You can't stand dancing because it seems like you are scared of it. Just like you said. It is not normal to be scared of something that won't bite you or harm you. Better get yourself together and overcome this, because it seems like you care. If you didn't care that you can't dance you wouldn't be asking a question. From what you say it is not surpsising that Latin and Hip Hop is not appealing to you. Try Ballroom, maybe your Anglo Saxon side will be more comfortable with it. It is different kind of expressivenes that won't beat you up emotionally. Heck, from what you say, maybe Waltz will be *your* dance and you'll be awesome in it.

Ballroom, especially Standard, is a very British form. I don't see how that would apply at all. And I suspect the rest is largely a matter of lack of familiarity. With your personality, street dances (hip hop, salsa, etc.) would be poor choices, but I don't think ballroom, except as shown on TV, would be a problem.

You cant alter your child hood now. Do aerobics. It will make your body flexible and you will get used to rhythm. I am sure you can learn basics of dance. That is what every one does. Not every one is a professional dancer. Learn to smile from your heart not just a formal smile.

I didn't understand the question, but my comment is, you better learn how to dance, because honey, if you have rhythm on the dancefloor, you have no rhythm off the dancefloor. If you get my drift.

I think because you are afraid of doing something wrong while dancing and others laughing about you: But hey, don't care about the others just do your thing!!!!!!!!
