I hadn't thought about this song since I don't know when, then I saw this thread. I always thought it had a touch of the of Roxy's about it.

We did ballroom dancing in Berlin as a hobby for quite some years and had a great time, especially at the quarterly balls (and most evenings one can pop into somewhere should the mood take). Unlike Ina, I am not a natural dancer as it were and do not enjoy free-form dance (isn't self-consciousness a bizarre thing?). However, I liked the structure of ballroom dancing and we became moderately proficient. In the end though it just took up too much time and we lapsed. Maybe we'll take it up again in the future, but I suspect we have forgotten most of what we learned (I've still got my shoes though!).
I am always impressed by swing and Lindy Hop dancers and these two always impress.

My mother nearly became a professional ballet dancer, she was exceptionally talented as a child. I had a couple of terms lessons aged 7/8 and did one exam but never took it further than that, wasn't interested at that age.
Did a short course in Argentine Tango some years back but can't say I was a natural ... I'd enjoy learning a bit of ballroom but I'd never remember the routine with my memory.

I got kicked out of ballroom dancing lessons. It took a bit of doing, but I managed it in the end.

I've always thought Sofia Boutella (she of the steel feet in Kingsmen) to be mesmerising to watch.

I have great beat, but no rhythm.
Went to Latin dance classes with my wife 25 years ago. It was my idea (she loves to dance).
At our 5th session, the instructor danced with me.
He said afterwards: "I thought you were just pretending; but you really are that bad."
