I grew up in an environment (and tbh am still in it despite huge geographical movement) where the prevalent message was "white men can't dance". The only nuance when I argued things like "what about swing, etc." was "nobody listens to that anymore".
I am not white (Anglo-Saxon), but I might as well be. I have a sense of rhythm and am flexible and in decent shape, but I also have aversion to attention for both related and unrelated reasons.
Every time dancing comes up, even "white" dancing like line dancing, I avoid it when I can get away with it, because "white men can't dance".
What do?
