I was scrolling and saw this video of people dancing, showing different moves throughout the years, including recent ones. I know people “dance,” like, generally move to a beat, but, like, having moves and stuff, where do you do that? Is the idea to ease the moves into your own dance “repertoire?” As in, do you expect to see people milly rock, like unprompted?

    I dance where I work. I have a standing desk and dance to music to focus on brainy tasks.

    We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind. Because your friends don’t dance and if they don’t dance, well, they’re no friends of mine.

    Just picked up swing - we’re just starting our 50’s and I never learned to dance. Two short courses this autumn and back again in january for 3 more until april.

    There are dace-halls and clubs, but here in Norway its kinda fringe culture so you need to look for it. No fancy nightclubs or stuff like that as far as I know that have dance floors and music. There are huge dance parties in sports halls and the likes in the weekends. But they are far out and about.

    Much of your choice of moves comes down to your partner.

    In a place where dancing happen people are usually helpful and know more than basics, so i’d not say unprompted. Dancing is about promoting.

    Clubs and bars around here occasionally have country line dancing night, but other than that I just go see live music and if it moves me, I dance.
