One woman friend loves ball-room dancing, and laments that very few men show-up for the lessons. If a man was confident enough to go there, he would be very popular.

I do. Wish I was better at it though! I generally feel pretty self-conscious unless I've had "enough" to drink...helps me but likely makes the whole ordeal look worse!
Most guys are pretty shy to get out there when there are only like 4-5 people on the dancefloor and everyone sitting down can see how much of a fool you are.
There's usually a very noticible point in the night when the dancefloor picks up. Way more guys are willing to dance when there are 25-30 people out there and you can kind of blend in.
At a Christmas party you can dance if you want to. You can leave your friends behind. Cause' your friend don't dance, and if they don't dance, well they're no friends of mine.

the boys from shipping and i will sometimes make a circle, kick off our shoes and just dance - if the dj slows it down a bit, some of the boys will sit down for a break, but the rest of us will continue dancing, although we will ensure that folks out there can see daylight between us.
the only dance we will not do is the salsa which is the dance that is forbidden by the elders.....
I find that tall guys are typically the ones that are shy about dancing.
Like I said, I hate it, but I'll do it as a necessary evil. If it makes the females happy, then it's worth it. I don't really understand the appeal though and the whole idea of it seems ridiculous to me.

Just make sure that you put a surprised look on your face when your drunken coworker or loaded bosses wife starts grinding her butt against your junk, whatever you do don't go with it or start high fiving coworkers.

Yeah, I'll dance. The problem is I require some liquid encouragement to do so. And the amount of said encouragement is usually the same amount that makes me think that it is funny to whip my pants off to Right Said Fred's I'm To Sexy.
I am usually encourage by friends, family and coworkers to not dance.
So to follow up next day (Monday) everyone at work discussed how fun the party was and the girl was sad that she couldn't join in cause her bf was having such a bad time.

I dance at functions, but I can understand if people don't. It's not for everyone and that's completely okay.
What's more annoying are the people who go around pulling people who clearly aren't comfortable dancing on to the dance floor... "Come on dance!! Why don't you dance!!!?" or make a huge deal out of how it is even possible that people wouldn't want to dance (*GASP*).
A co-worker at my XMAS party this year did that... Uggh... annoying, let people be. It was funny to see people actually resist her persistent tugging and see her actually fall on her butt trying to get one of the other people to join her and party.
i like to get wrecked and then go around the floor grinding up on everyone i see - especially those in HR or my direct superiors.......then on Monday I offer up the old evil twinism excuse.
