To be embarrassed by DP's dancing?

[Neen80]

Im not sure if he still thinks its the 1980's!
I should have realised when we first started seeing each other that break dancing to 'Like a virgin' when drunk was not a joke and he was serious!

Im dreading the xmas works party!

Aww. Don't be embarrassed. Embrace the breakdancing. My DH is known as 'DiscoMrShodan' among my friends because he is first up and last off the dancefloor. He makes all kinds of funny faces while he's dancing, too.

At least they're up there enjoying themselves and not sitting grumpily in a corner.

Don't go with him.
My DH thinks he is in footloose. I remember going to a sixth form ball with him about 20 years ago.
Between him and the English teacher there was enough to keep the students in stitches for hours.

Thing is, he can't actually break dance!

Oh FFS he's only dancing badly, it's not like he's doing heart surgery badly! So, you think he can't dance big deal - he could have a host of other things he does badly. Perhaps he thinks you can't dance either. Nobody really cares other than you, get over it.

aaaah bless we call it muppeting instead of actual dancing. I let dh get on with it, oddly despite his heinous dance moves he never finds himself without a partner bless him

Dad dancing is as much a part of Britain as the Tower of London and red postboxes.

dawntigga - spoken by someone who can't dance obviously! This is a lighthearted thread, go on a serious one if your feeling angry this morning. Too early for arguements!

I much prefer to see guys who cant dance dancing than sitting in the corner. Men who don't dance are boring. At least he likes to get up and have a good time!

I would tell everyone, just wait until you see DH dance it's hysterical, he thinks he's John Travolta and M Jackson in one.

I feel your pain. My dh can't dance either. But when I manage to get him on the dancefloor he does seem to enjoy his bad dancing, and seeing him have fun is always nice!

Embrace the bad dancing!

My DH does the running man at EVERY SINGLE Party/Wedding/Night out we go to! He also likes a bit of dad dancing.

Funnily enough he's never short of a dance partner either!

My friends and family think he's the bees knees, he keeps them amused!

I doubt he'll be the only person at your Xmas 'do' who can't dance. Just leave him to it and have a large and .

DP is a pretty good dancer (I'm not), but he loves doing the Dad Dance to embarrass his DC

My ex was and probably still is but he was another one never without a partner. honestly I used to worry he'd injure someone and every part of him moved apart from his feet but at least he was up on the floor giving it yeeha dh rarely dances whereas me, one sniff of the barmaids apron and I'm up giving it a good shimmy.

My husband hates dancing so much, he sat with his arms folded at his graduation ball muttering "I fucking hate dancing" while I boogied with his friends. He refused to have any dancing at our wedding so I didn't get a first dance.

At least your husband is not a miserable bastard at any function involving a dancefloor.

Op. There's nothing to indicate that this is a light-hearted or ironic thread in your Op. People ask all sorts of weird shit on Aibu. Dawntigga responded and you were overly aggressive in your response back IMO.

I suppose your right, it's like dancing with a child. It doesn't matter, they are are having fun!

Last night my dh did his 'dad dancing' for an hour.

I love it, and him.

My H is a terrible dancer! yet thinks he is really good, and we all have a giggle about it

I just make sure I dont watch him because he puts me off my rhythm

Luckily I am a fabulous dancer

YABU. I enjoy dancing but am bad at it, awkward, and the fear of what others think normally prevents me from dancing . Like the thought of people who are bad or "out there" at dancing but don't know / don't care just enjoying themselves, it's better than being self-conscious and repressed!

My DH has to be dragged off the dance floor. He dances OK, and doesn't give a damn what anyone else thinks.

At our weddings my brother and I were mortified to realise that our parents and grandparents were much better dancers than us, where did it all go wrong?

Dh and I are both terrible dancers, we're very much looking forward to busting our moves at any future events with our dc's. They may put themselves up for adoption

Do any men know how to dance though? Seriously i've not met a good dancer yet! My DH is a "one foot together and back out again, followed by other foot together and back out again". I'm more of a wiggle on the spot kind of gal. We both look like a couple of fuckwits but hey ho!

Ha ha my DH thinks he is Liam Gallagher, he dances with his hands behind his back doing a funny bow movement.
I am very self concious when I dance and only tend to do it if I am drunk.
Our 'first dance' was a sight to behold, but not as cringworthy as BIL and his wifes cheesy choreographed number!
