And now for something completely different

Ok, it's probably not "completely" different....
Today I would like to talk about dancing. Yes, dancing. First of all - let me say, I am a fan of the actual act. I get caught chair dancing regularly at work. I get funny looks on the freeway that tell me other drivers don't find my car dancing as amusing as I do. I dance while I cook, while I talk on the phone, sometimes while I type. I enjoy a night out dancing with the girls. I'm not great, but my rhythm is not bad enough to be embarrassing.
I also enjoy watching other people dance. I don't know enough about it to be a judge on Dancing With The Stars or anything, but when they know what they are doing, it is entertaining.
DANCES - are an entirely different topic. Dances I do not enjoy. Dances are uncomfortable. I am pretty sure dances were invented to make people feel awkward. If you are a boy, you have to get up the courage to ask a random stranger to dance. If you are a girl, you have pray someone is crazy enough to think you are cuter than the girl standing next to you.(Sorry about the traditional gender role stereotypes, but I'm painting a picture here.) Then, assuming you have been lucky/courageous enough to be dancing, you have to try and hold a conversation that is at least semi-interesting while yelling over the music. I mean really, who came up with this plan?
So, in conclusion - Pro dancing, anti dances.
OK... I'm better. You can go back to your day now.

I love dances a little more than dancing. It's a social thing for me. I loke to dance, but only have a few moves.... it's repetitive. So I guess I'm just the opposite. FYI
