My son, who is 31, had a party New Years Eve at our house. As the party progressed the dancing started. I noticed my son wasn't up dancing. I knew he could line dance as we had done this together at a club before, but this was the new modern swing, bump and grind dancing. I asked him why he wasn't dancing and he said mom, I can't move my hips like that. Is it true that some men can be loose as a goose and others stiff as a board, or is it just fear of trying something new? Can some guys really not loosen up and sway their hips because basically this is all they were doing. There was very little movement of the feet. I am thinking how hard can that be?

He may have felt uncomfortable because of his inexperience. I don't really dance now because I haven't gone dancing in years! I can however still do a mean polka! (no line dancing either) Perhaps he might feel better practicing in the privacy of his own room, or with a trusted female to help him learn the steps?

I don't think it is uncomfortable. He really did try later for me and just does not seem to be limber enough!!! Maybe if he practiced more he might get the hang of it. Will encourage his female friends to work with him. Thanks

It doesn't take much for a guy to dance like that, he usually just stands there and makes sure he is VERY close to his woman. He was probably just scared.
I have a couple questions
1- Why was your 31 year old son having a party at YOUR house?
2- YOU GO TO CLUBS WITH YOUR 31 YEAR OLD SON!?! Wow, thats pretty cool, you guys must be tight.

He is divorced for the second time and with three kids to pay child support on the poor guy can't afford a place of his own. We have plenty of room and he is a firefighter so is only here at night about 2 nights out of the week. We enjoy having him back home but not sure he likes it as much as we do. His firefighting buddies and their wives or girlfriends come over all the time for dinners or movie watching. That is why I don't understand why he might be scared, he knows them all really well. We are pretty close to all of our children and have gone to clubs with my daughter and other son before. We enjoy doing things with them as often as we can.

Perhaps your son is too shy and embarrassed to even try...scared of making a fool of himself. A lot of men are like this when it comes to dancing. There are so many people out there who "think" they can dance and they enjoy making fun of those they think, in their opinion, can't dance. That's too bad, I hope your son had fun at the party anyway.

He did laughing at all of his intoxicated friends dancing! lol I think it does have more to do with embarrassment. But he is stiff and does not seem to be able to loosen up. Thanks for responding.
