It made me cry..

I love to dance - Let's Twist Again always gets me on my feet. The OH doesn't and won't. Next time, I'll pick a dancer for sure!

Love to but don't seem to get the opportunity for anything in a group. Must look at U3A. GCs love to dance, little one doesn't even need the music, just say dancing to him and he is off!

In the 'good old day's DH and I used to enjoy going to functions where we could dance and I remember the youngsters being amazed by our quickstep. My big regret is that he has never jived. I used to love it but he refuses to give it a try.

I'm always surprised when people don't react to music because I find myself unconsciously tapping or swaying.

I love to dance! I did dance/drama at college. I am not so good now as for sometime stiff neck/shoulders have reduced movement and now I also have a specific back problem it is almost impossible. Painkillers allowed me to dance on NYE but I paid for my enthusiasm for the first few days of 2019!

Came on here to say “YES!” I absolutely adore dancing and do it at the least opportunity: weddings, music nights, ceilidhs & weekly Zumba classes. My friend teaches Zumba Gold. Anyone can do this - she has quadriplegics in her monthly class at a Leonard Cheshire Home. When she plays their favourite tunes they dance with their eyes. There’s also Extend classes which are chair-based.

She calls them erection boosters. (Sorry, her words, not mine)
Annaram1; What? At 87? Come on: pull the other one!

Dancing is great. Country dancing, line dancing but best of all is jiving. Me and my partner go to a jazz club every week where loads of people dance. The oldest is a man of ninety who is riddled with arthritis but still shuffles round with whoever he can persuade to dance with him. We are in our seventies. A fast jive is magic. I feel as if I am flying. The hardest thing is overcoming any inhibitions which can take time. But if you can do it that is wonderful and I think it comes with age. Anyone who is held back by a non-dancing partner might consider breaking loose and having a dance with someone else. It makes you feel so good.

I was never a very co-ordinated or elegant dancer but I could Jive with the best of them in my youth. My feet automatically start tapping when they hear a good beat, and I love watching Strictly or any professional dancers. DH won't dance, only an on-the-spot smoochie waltz. At school we were taught English Folk Dancing and Scottish Country Dancing both of which were good fun and exercise and encouraged poise and control. Many young people today seem to be very awkward in the way they stand, sit and walk as if they don't know what to do with their limbs. I often think there is nothing very graceful or elegant about the dances of today.

My lovely late friend and I were always first up on the dance floor on our hols., jiving. We were well in tune with each other knowing each others dance moves. Happy days !

Framed this card and it makes me smile every time I see it!

I find the thought of someone who professes not to like any sort of music rather

That’s fab missA thank you

I meant the old couple one!

Oh yes I loved to dance and met my first husband at ballroom classes. We both achieved gold medal level but moved 20miles from the school when we married and money was tight so no more lessons. At works dinner and dance events we loved to dance and sometimes the floor would clear while friends watched us. We divorced 20years later and my new husband could only shuffle around and wouldn't consider having any lessons. So my dancing days are over, apart from having a boogie indoors when something lively is on the radio. I had a new knee two years ago so I have to be careful and respect it.

I was a religious clubber from 17-23. Weekday evenings (work permitting) and definitely Fri/Sat nights. New clothes every week and hairdo on Saturday mornings.
One of my favourite dances was to El Bandido.
It brings back memories if the Maricel, Jacaranda, Blue Angel, Chequers, Marti Gras and many more in Liverpool and who could forget Wigan Casino and Northern soul nights.
Used to frequent the Locarno Ballroom where the lads would line up along the bar and girls would sit on the chairs around the sides.
Blackpool Tower ballroom has seen me dance there too, many times, as my dad was friends with the organist, Reg Dixon and we'd stay up for long weekends.
Happy days.
I like watching breakdancing and roller dancing which are on YouTube.
Alas, although still capable of some of the old moves, at my age I'd look foolish.

I've danced from being 3 or 4 ballet, tap, old time and Latin. happysexagenarian we too did English Folk dancing and Scottish Country dancing at primary school, I was even in the school team, we entered various competitions and loved it. I do choreography for an amateur theatre group so still doing some. The secondary school my children went to were taught barn dances, St Bernard's waltz, Gay Gordon's etc and these dances were always done at Christmas discos, boys had to ask girls to dance too, my children often talk about the fun they had learning these. Some of my Guides attend the school now and it's still a tradition.

Oh, I remember a lovely Blackpool holiday where we had afternoon tea and watched the dancing.
Again, happy days!

I loved dancing, found it hard to sit still when the right type of music was being played. As a teen I used to jive, went through several other types of popular (at the time) dances, twist, locomotion, even hand jive, never been into ballroom etc. When I went to live in Egypt I also learned to Bellydance which I used to do in the hotels. now at almost 77 I can hardly stand up, I'm in so much pain, let alone dance, but when I hear the music I like I so want to get up and dance. Wish I could.

* Mardi Gras not Marti.

Gabriella Northern Soul still a thing! I know folk who go!

I love to dance too, but am a bit creaky now. I met husband at a dance hall back in the 70s.
My favourite tune for dancing is ABBA Dancing Queen.
Also Billy Joel It's Still Rock and Roll to Me.

Will dance to most music.. feet tapping to violinist, Sam Sweeny, formerly with Bellowhead.

It is hard to keep still when the music takes you..

Northern Soul certainly is still a thing! DH goes to NS nights at least twice a month and they’re well attended. Quite a lot of young folk go too. I went with him recently and there were plenty of oldies on the dance floor all night, with nearly all the moves (nobody attempted a back flip ?). Though DH commented that it might be wise to have St John’s standing by these days.

All nighters at WC.
My friend's brother used to go (separately). He took a holdall with a decal of a fist on the side, which held a change of clothes as dancing made you sweaty.
The Twisted Wheel and Penny Farthing come to mind too. So many great northern clubs.
