Music

I think that "generally inappropriate" is a matter of your convictions. I've danced with my friends before, both girls and guys, and in public places, like a friend's house, or a party center celebrating (such as a graduation, or milestone birthday). I think, like you said, as long as you're not committing mental adultery, or touching what you shouldn't, it's okay. That doesn't mean it won't be awkward, depending on where you are, and who you're with, but then, that also depends on you.

I tried to listen to the video but it said that it was private…so I can't watch it.

Same here.

Again this goes back to my opinion of the song. And it depends on what kind of dancing. Some music makes you want to get up and dance and the dancing is not good.

Sorry guys. I'm making my videos public now.

Okay.

Okay. I made the videos public.

Here's the one I wondered if you thought was appropriate:

And here's just a dark suspense classical-style soundtrack:

Okay…my opinion of the first one. It isn't something I would listen to. I don't like that style of music.
Okay…my opinion of the second one. I liked it!!

Thanks. Do you think the first one is bad, or do you just personally have a distaste for it?

Well…I wouldn't necessarily call it bad. I just have a personal distaste for it.

Makes sense. It's a good thing I didn't share "Outta My Way", then! (Although it's not on YouTube yet; I think it's on the site, though. Pretty goofy.)

Is it the same style as the first one?

No; the first one is surf rock; "Outta My Way" is hard rock. I'm personally not a fan of hard rock, but I don't refuse to make it for other people. It makes for a good soundtrack, too.

Okay. Yeah, I probably wouldn't like. In general I don't like rock music.

Here's one that Sam and I both REALLY like (just piano):

Okay…so that one is actually pretty good! :) You can tell Sam that I like one of his songs :)

Hear that, Sam???

LOL! :) Oh, quick question…did Sam make you start liking Lindsey Stirling's songs?

Some of them. "My Immortal" is my favorite.

Okay……………………….

Nathan do you think that it is wrong to dance with someone of the opposite gender

I think it's wrong to dance with somebody of the SAME gender.

Why?

It's being gay with gayness.

But I think guy/girl dances are good/cool/ok.

facepalm So at the square dance last year I was dancing with girls…you would say that is wrong because of people who are gay?
As for dancing with the other gender that to me is just a little bit (okay a lot) awkward.

I just wouldn't do it. I guess it's different when it's a guy/guy and girl/girl dances are not as bad. I just would NEVER dance with a guy. ever. (not even you, Sam)

Okay.

Dancing PERIOD is way too awkward for me. :P

Yeah…dancing is really awkward but depending on the dance and who you're doing it with it can be pretty fun :)

Um, yeah, you could go to the Bible Bee, go to a square dance. coughs and dance with the nurse… I don't know… there are a lot of options :)

The nurse?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! SERIOUSLY!!!! Why did you have to bring that into this???????????

Dancing with people of the same gender is okay if it's a square-dance type thing, like Jewish dances where the men form a circle with their arms around each other (several men in one circle) and dance around or do whatever they do. But obviously, some forms of dancing with the same gender would be inappropriate.

Agreed!

LOL!!!! :) At least you got a good discussion going! It was very sad that we didn't have a good one going for a while.

Actually, I did. :)

Taking credit when credit is not due, eh??

Yeah...dancing is really awkward but depending on the dance and who you're doing it with it can be pretty fun :)

Absolutely. Our homeschool group does dances. They're very fun. Not awkward at all. So there are girls dancing with boys. …? Okay? The dances are square dance/country dances, so it's not not just a pointless dance. A boy invites you to do the next dance with him, you say yes thank you, everybody lines up in two or three or four columns (or in two or three circles) and often end up switching partners every 30 seconds. When the dance is over, you find the boy who invited you, thank him, and stand around waiting for another boy to invite you. If one doesn't (which happens pretty often) you find another girl who doesn't have a partner and invite her to dance with you. The first time we went to one of those dances (two years ago) I convinced myself I was not going to dance because it would be awkward. I changed my mind five minutes into the evening.

Mr Deadpool and I are gonna commentary on this. I'm in "" Deadpool's in **

When the dance is over, you find the boy who invited you, thank him,*how sweet!* and stand around waiting for another boy to invite you. "don't hold your breath!" If one doesn't (which happens pretty often) you find another girl *AAH! I would even dance with her to prevent that!* who doesn't have a partner and invite her to dance with you. The first time we went to one of those dances (two years ago) I convinced myself I was not going to dance because it would be awkward. I changed my mind five minutes into the evening. "compromises, compromises!"

Fortunately (for him) he has a few years to go before he has to make a living at comedy.

He's said some pretty funny stuff, you gotta admit. and, could you do better?

thats a dare!

I guess you couldn't tell that was what I was doing.

The main reason for the dances are to teach dance etiquette. That's why you thank them. And that's why if you're a boy you have to consider asking a girl to dance. Or, if you're like my brother, dare another boy to dance with your sister. Yeah. It's happened. Multiple times. :-P

I changed my mind because it wasn't awkward.

Um, yeah, you could go to the Bible Bee, go to a square dance. *coughs* and dance with the nurse... I don't know... there are a lot of options :)

ROFL!!!! ROFL!!!!

Yeah...dancing is really awkward but depending on the dance and who you're doing it with it can be pretty fun :)

Yeah almost anything can b awkward at times. :) Swing dancing it fun… But I've forgot like everything I knew of it.. :P lol

Swing dancing??? I would never do that!! I would only do Square Dancing!

I was fun! :) it was very mild though. We didn't actually do any like 'swinging'

Okay…………I'd still never do it…….

I'd never do any dancing at all. It is in with the handwaving principle under the label of "Undignified".

LOl…my friend recently go married, and he had swingdancing at his wedding, and they were teaching us how to d o it, and it is not only impossible, but way to weird…

Yeah…last year some people were doing some swing dancing…it looked dreadful!!!!!!
