    I don’t have it in me. Music just does not cause me to want to move my body. I can do the line dance ones but that’s just following directions which doesn’t seem to be what it’s all about to me.

      Same here. The issue for me, I think, is that my feelings about music are the same as my feelings about chocolate; it’s fine, but I don’t see why everyone makes such a fuss about it.
      My lack of interest in dancing is just an extension of that.

      I did country dancing (essentially line dancing, but done in a circle and without the country and western theme) a couple of times at primary school in the 80s. I quite enjoyed that, but as you say, it was about following the instuctions and patterns rather than reacting to the music.

        You might enjoy salsa rueda. It is like country dancing, but is done to cool salsa music, and there is still a bit of creativity on the part of the caller, to quickly pick moves for everyone that fits the feel of the music. And it feels great when everyone is in tune with each other, working together, even when you make some mistakes.
