I've only had one this year. And probably one decent one per year for the last 5. I used to live to dance with or without stamina inducing 'help'.
Was lucky enough to be in the National Youth Company as a 16 yo. We had some good times, mainly as my friend and I were the only straight(ish) lads.
Anyway I could do with a good dance in front of good system for a couple of hours right now.

It's been way too long for us. Having moved to the wilds of east anglia from a south coast city, finding good trance or psy-trance nights localish is proving tricky.

Even have assistance in hand... Ready and waiting 😀

It's really something you can't beat. I think my last was Halloween at a DnB event, although I can't remember it that well. Over summer it was near enough every Friday night; off down the big 'ouse with a mate; "friday night regulars" the DJ knew us as, always used to play us 50 Cent. Ain't done it for a while though, n she's left the country now. Just dance at home instead 😉

I'm not normally a big dancer, but we got married in May and had a 10 piece Dorset folk band come and play. I've never heard Britney Spears played on a watering can, so I used to opportunity to have a properly good time, the sight of my dad with his arthritic knees being shown up by several older relatives will live long in the memory.

Before that would have been the last few big nights out after my finals at uni.

(This was probably foolish with a still broken ankle... and I paid for it with pain for about 3 days afterwards. But it was worth it!)

Having a nice bop, looked behind me and there's Neil Hodgson, said hello, carried on dancing.

Cousin's wedding at the end of September.
In a barn in Cornwall, the set list their mate who dj'd put together was basically a journey through our teenage to kid 20s years back in the 90s and early 2000s.
Couple that with a free bar and the wife and I danced like the drunken loons we were!

I dance all the time! Me and WreckerJnr dance to the gigglebiz theme, to public enemy (when Mrswrecker isn't around) and to whatever is on the radio in the car. We love it.

Surely the answer for any self respecting male is 'never'? 😆

I've enjoyed myself dancing once or twice - but the bystanders have been less impressed 😳

Last enjoyment time i guess my wedding a few years ago - as said weddings seem to be the only time i dance now. For which I'm thankful!

Scottish weddings almost always have a ceilidh, so a couple of times a year at least.

And Ceilidhs are proper dances - 3 hours of sweating and dancing to a deafening ceilidh band, going as fast and as brutal as possible (in certain dances) in a full wool kilt set up (very hot!).

If you and your partner don't have bruises from dancing the next morning - you did it wrong.

I had a dance off with an American a couple of weeks ago in Vegas. It was a bit Run DMC-ish until I ran out of moves so I charged at him like a bull.

I think I won.

Last summer, had three weddings stayed up late and danced along with the younger girls, learned to 'slut drop' and was almost bowled over by what could best be described as a mad girl doing some sort of rodeo slap bottom twerking move, I left the floor.

Used to live for getting my groove on at the weekend... These days it's a very rare occurrence sadly! 🙁

Last time was just over 12 months ago, The Plump DJ's played Subtone in Cheltenham (tiny little venue, mostly full of pretentious kids who didn't have a clue who was playing)... One of the first on the dance floor, and very definitely the last off it! 😛

Dear god I need to get out more... Age is no barrier for getting out and having fun, there's too many people far too old before their time in this world!

At an office xmas party last year. The music was up-its-own-arse house and garage for the most part, but I was over the dancefloor like a bad rash the moment the pogues slipped on the jukebox.
