Your favorite type of dance

Hey!
So I just figured I'd get things started on here with a discussion we'd all have something to say about.

Tell us! What are your favorite types of dances to do and/or watch?

Personally, I'm not a very strong dancer, but I like jazz the most, I think. How about you?

Somewhere in there is ballroom dancing, too, which I really enjoy, though I haven't really done it in years... I LOVE swing-dancing. God, I love swing.

It's like asking a lexicographer what their favorite word is. There are just too many!

Oh, and I like to DO all of these dances I mentioned. I like to watch them all, too, but doing them makes me so happy!!; ▶ Reply to This

I went to a Lindy Exchange in Atlanta GA, the theme was "Dance Nerdy with me." I wore my DFTBA shirt and my Nerd Fighters t and no one recognized it. I was so bummed. Does anyone dance in Houston?; ▶ Reply to This

My favorite would be jazz as well, with Hip-hop as a close second. Then modern (I've never taken it though, I've wanted to) tied with lyrical.; ▶ Reply to This

And like 10 years older- he was trying to pick up chicks haha) I haven't taken a class since last fall because I can't find any classes nearby that are particularly convenient but I really like it.

As for types of dance I like to watch, I love almost any kind of dance. So You Think You Can Dance is my summer show, I never miss it. They did one dance last season and I think they called it lyrical hip-hop and it was pretty much amazing. Dancing With the Stars, not so much. Too hokey some... actually most of the time. And Bruno is a total creeper.; ▶ Reply to This

because i grew up with it.
- it's hard to explain what bollywood is because it's like hip hop, random tango scenes, and indian classical dance
mushed into a blender.
Through the years it's really developed.
It started of with only indian classical dancing, and then it slowly added on western aspects with the indian jhalak.; ▶ Reply to This

After that are flamenco and jazz tied for second, tap for third (or would it be forth?) russian character. I love to watch modern and hip-hop, but I'm simply dreadful at them.; ▶ Reply to This
