Okay, so. It is a famous saying that "white people cannot dance" because "they are too stiff" and whatnot. From where do you think this saying derrives and do you think it holds any truth? In the haydays of racial biology "rhytmic dance" was seen as primitive and Africans were mocked for their dancing, but now it seems as if tables are turned and today it is the "primitive" kind of dancing that is being praised and many blacks actually proudly wear the formerly racist label of "we have the rythm in our blood". I find this paradigm-shift very interesting. I personally think the more stiff dances actually can be very aesthetic and efficient. As a matter of fact, I do not at all think that dancing has to be sexy or "spasmic", but I can see why this saying exists as European dances tend to be more stiff than those of African roots.
Dunning–Kruger effect The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias wherein relatively unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability to be much higher than is accurate. The bias was first experimentally observed by David Dunning and Justin Kruger of Cornell University in 1999. It's not that they're inherently better at it, they're just more confident, and that confidence, in case, whether right or wrong, actually helps them loosen up and be better at dancing. I've seen plenty of white folks that could put anyone to shame in dance offs, but it's just not something that's as prevalent in white culture as it is in black culture.
I personally, am not a fan of spastic, semi-epileptic shaking your butt and hips as if you have no bones in your body. Promiscuous dancing is not for me. Perhaps I am just prude, but I find ballet much more beautiful and eye-catching than "twerking". It is true though that European, folk/ethnic dances are alot stiffer than African ones, but I would not really say this means that whites can't dance. As I mentioned it is quite interesting how this, once negative, stereotype has now come to be a positive one.
"Dancing" has become synonymous with black African tribal dancing in the modern era, so it's not a surprise that most white people are not very good at this.
I have seen some incredible white dancers. We just don't put in the time generally for that activity as others do. I have seen some really bad black dancers too. Just a thing.
This is 100% false. There are no genetic or biological differences between the different species of the human race. We are all equal in all physical, mental, and psychological way.
While I'm sure black people don't really have more rhythm than white people (this would probably have much more to do with the environment you are raised in - do your parents dance - do your friends dance - did you grow up dancing?), there are certainly differences in bone structures, skull bones included, as well as being prone to certain diseases, such as sickle cell anemia. Also muscle mass, with African Americans having more muscle mass on average than whites or Asians. There are also average height differences, weight differences, etc.
I like ballet too. It's very graceful, and I used to take ballet when I was younger. I also like sexy dancing too though. It's fun! I don't really consider twerking to be dancing though.
I guess it is mostly some kind of mating ritual. At least from the beginning. In modern times it can be a form of entertainment/a hobby too.
It is disgusting and just dumb. If you want to look sexy you can at least try some classier and more captivating dance like belly dancing or something. I guess it is more than my libido speaking when I say she has some real talent.
What the heck is "energetic" supposed to mean in this context? Besides, I do not really see how my subjective taste for dance has anything at all to do with my sex-life.
Have you ever seen people krumping? Or makes me wonder if someone at one of these clubs had a grand mal seizure would thrashing uncontrollably become the latest dance move? No it isn't reality. Some moron does something in a club maybe even by accident and it's the next craze for up until the moment a former Disney Channel star (white of course) tries to end her wholesome image does it on a stage and bam just like that it isn't cool anymore.
