Dancing: questions and Band 8 answers

To be honest, I'm not a huge dancer because I have two left feet! But when I'm out at a wedding or a party with close friends, I don't mind letting my hair down and having a bit of a shuffle on the dance floor.

Not formally, no. We had some basic movement classes in primary school, but I never took proper lessons like ballet or tap. Most of what I picked up was just by copying music videos on the telly with my older sister in our living room.

I definitely prefer upbeat pop or electronic music with a catchy rhythm. It's much easier to move to a strong beat, especially when there's an infectious melody that gets everyone in the room onto their feet straight away.

Yes, absolutely. It's almost mandatory at weddings and birthday parties. Once the formal dinner is out of the way, the DJ usually turns up the volume, and people of all generations, from young kids to grandparents, head over to the floor to celebrate together.

I'd actually love to try something like salsa or ballroom. A friend of mine joined a local salsa club last autumn and said it's fantastic for fitness and meeting people. It would be great to learn some proper choreography rather than just improvising.
