12 Awkward Moments For Every Person Who Can’t Dance

“Life is like a dance floor, God is the DJ, lights are the memories and love is the rhythm”.

Damn it. If only I could dance well!

Are you the one who is always scared to hit the dance floor? Are you the one who gets maximum stares each time “Pappu Can’t Dance Saala” plays at a dance party? Then worry not, for you are not alone.

Here are 12 genuine struggles of people who can’t dance.

1. You started practicing dance moves at home way before a dance party

And each time you practiced dancing, your house became more hazardous than a quarantined nuclear site.

 

2. You’re minding your own business and all of a sudden some over-enthusiastic uncles and aunties or cousins, probably high on sugar, force you to join them on the dance floor

They do whatever it takes to get you on the dance floor, whether it is pulling, dragging you by your arm or setting up some elaborate traps.

 

3. Then, you find yourself in the middle of the dance circle, surrounded by people expecting you to “break it down” and show some amazing dance moves

Scared and self-conscious, you start dancing.

 

4. You start off on a low key, only if you knew that random movements of hands, legs, pelvic muscles barely qualify as dancing

Nevermind.

 

5. Soon, you realize that you aren’t doing THAT well and you try to waltz your way out of the dance circle

The sense of relief that dawns upon you when you are out is the best feeling in the world.

 

6. You try and use the oldest trick in the book-covering up the bad dancing with facial expressions, thinking that it would distract others from your dance moves.

Until one of your friends gives you a reality check.

 

7. You have probably tried all the easiest, well known and cliché dance forms, ranging from the ‘Naagin dance’ to just moving your butt around in all directions.

Isn’t that how the twerk came into light anyway?

 

8. When nothing else worked, the only option left is to get drunk-because alcohol brings out the “dancer” in you.

Drunk dancing, anyone?

 

9. Your friends probably got embarrassed each time you hit the dance floor.

You could see the pain on their faces. And they PROBABLY made fun of you later.

 

10. You always tried to blend in with your friends by copying their dance steps

Unless, they too are, well….NOT great at dancing.

 

11. Couples dancing seemed harder than performing a brain surgery…

…and sometimes your partner required a brain surgery after the dance routine.

 

12. At last, you learn to let yourself go. ‘Cause let’s face it, not all of us have Moves Like Jagger or Hrithik’s charisma.

So each time someone calls you a bad dancer, you can always “shake it off”.

“Just because I can’t dance, doesn’t mean I won’t dance”.
