Damn I wish I could dance is right. I can do beginner stuff and am good at it but it's not the level that someone my age should be at at all.

Everyone can dance, they just need to be taught.

Not true. People have tried to teach me how to dance at parties and stuff, but I just can't. I'm a complete spazz. I don't move well.

Dancing is just plain fun. If it's not for a show, just do it!!

I massacred my last audition due to the fact that I cannot dance.
How is it you are supposed to end on your left and I'd always be on my right?

Well let's just say I thought I could dance as much as I needed to to get by...well I just finally saw our tape of A Chorus Line (I was Zach)....wow, the opening combination never sucked so badly...I knew I was bad, because I just stopped doing it and started "directing" halfway through...but the part I knew...I looked like a crippled Do-Do Bird. But ehy, for 2 weeks of rehearsla I did ok, I guess.
But hey, for auditions I view it as the ultimate acting challenge. Just smile and act like you can dance circles around everyone in the room.

I try to dance, but it's a rather sad sight to watch.
I can do some really neat things, but that's about it.

I have good rhythm and can act through it, but I cannot dance for my life (despite my avatar lol).

I wish I could dance! When you think about it what show dosen't have dancing in it! Even Jay Johnson The Two and Only! had dancing in it!
I'm not really a dancer. I can do a few things but I am most certainly ain't a tap dancer or jump 50 feet up in the air person..I need to take lessons..

I get it eventually, but it takes me twice as long as everyone else to pick up choreography. *sigh*

I can dance. I just can't remember it very well unless I have a lot of practice. I memorize words and sounds way better.

I'm a pretty sucky dancer. I did ballet from age 3 to 8, and now I really, really wish I would have kept up with it!

I iwsh I could dance too. I mean, I pick it up eventually, but that's not so good for auditions. Also, I'm really keen to learn ballroom dancing, it's so pretty

Count me in! I really wish I could dance...for real. All of my friends can dance, especially my friend Danny, who swing dances really well.

I have no coordination at all. I took a fitness class where we did these weird exercises, & I just couldn't do it.

i'm a chubby white girl. nuff said.
on the positive side, i think the 'funny chubby person' roles steal the show. and they DON'T require dancing
