dancing

Probably a good way to meet people.
Can't hurt to be a better dancer either.
Not a bad idea/10.

I never look graceful when I dance, even when I learn all the moves and can read my partner's cues (salsa), because while I do them correctly - technically - I just look like an alien who was told what dancing looks like, or a machine that was programmed to dance according to some predetermined hardcoded move sets. I do it correctly, but I don't look graceful, which is the most vital thing to be for a dancer.

Ballroomfag here. It's ok for cardio and mobility, good for coordination. Social aspect is great but it depends on the style and the local scene - ballroom you meet a lot of middle aged ladies, swing tends to attract SJW types, salsa is more club types. At least in my city.

Nah dude, not for salsa anyway. Most important part of any social partner dancing is the connection and lead/follow. The girl you're dancing with isn't looking at you going 'omg he looks like a robot', she's feeling the lead and going 'omg I don't know what he just led me in to but it felt awesome'. Different if you do performances or if you do ballet or something.

Ballroom is fucking fun.
Always cool to pop out a bit of jive or samba with your partner.

How do you guys start dancing? I'm 25 and can't dance for shit... Never tried, but when I try some moves alone I feel j have no rhythm and feel like an idiot.

Pick a style and go take lessons. Most partner dancing styles will have a beginner's class followed by social dancing (they just put the music on and you grab a girl and go dance). Don't worry about feeling like an idiot, everybody sucks on their first night.

Lol fuck I'm a neet. I'll do it tho, any tips btw on how to loosen up the body, get that rhythm ?

Listen to the radio and dance along in your car. You want to listen to the rhythm, not the melody (it'll sound something like ONE two Three four FIVE six Seven eight for most songs, usually percussion or base)

That video has a waltz rhythm (ONE two three FOUR five six) but you should be able to get the idea.
>loosen up the body
If you do some kind of exercise I wouldn't worry about it, we get people who can barely walk in beginners and we get them moving pretty easily. Don't try too hard and have fun, it'll come.
