I do Not Dance. Why? A complete lack of rhythm. I cannot even clap my hands in time when I go to folk concerts. A couple of years ago, we went to an ethnic wedding. There's a very simple dance that is traditionally done at wedding receptions in this culture, and I was simply unable to move my feet at the correct times. The bride's father took me over to the bar, and asked me questions about Podunk State's football team until the dance was over.
Mrs. NB has rhythm, and would like us to take dance lessons. I decline, telling her that "as you know, I have no rhythm." She always says, "oh, please. You're just boring." Then I remind her of the ethnic wedding fiasco, and she drops the subject. Until the next time we watch an old Fred Astaire movie on Turner Classic, anyway.
The ethnic wedding was "white suburbanites" and the dance was, of course, "The Hokey Pokey." Shh.
