because when men stopped dancing we lost the masculine dance forms. now the available dance patterns don't speak to us. bring back masculine dancing

i don't necessarily *want* to make my hips look sexy or be a beautiful movement painting. sometimes i want to Fuck It Up With The Boys

this is of course a western white people problem. thank god for black culture. Cultural Appropriation Is Good Actually applies here in my personal opinion

while we're here, can we talk about dance floor gender dynamics? most men on dance floors are doing it SO wrong. you get on the dance floor, minimally dance, then try to get some pretty lady to *stop* dancing so she'll talk to you. wtf?? DANCE motherfucker

you can pick up people on the dance floor, i'm not saying you can't. i hung out with this little guatemalan man a while back who was a master at this. but how did he do it? he danced his ass off. he was *good*, he was having a blast, and that was magnetic

i too have picked up people on the dance floor, and unlike my friend i'm a pretty lame dancer. but i learned from @embryosophy, @relic_radiation and @Aella_Girl to listen to my body, play stupid silly games, and worship the music. have fun and the world has fun with you

@relic_radiation @Aella_Girl but yeah as i do that i've been thinking about the internal need for more violence and fire in my dancing. hence this thread topic

Hell yea

what culture is this dancing from lol?

broadly slavic

Shut the fuck up retard
