As the song boomed from the DJ’s booth a mass of bodies invaded the dance floor. Within seconds, I was a witness to the spectacle of people implementing numerous gyrating positions in the name of dancing. Since I can’t dance I was reduced to a spectator. The venue was Equilibrium and the time was around 5pm and the day was Saturday. It was my second time at Equilibrium and I was there for he same reason as the last time. For a Bua poetry function. This time it was a braai hosted at the famous Equilibrium club. Or is it infamous? Anyway, besides the sumptuous, juicy meat along with the rolls and delicious salads, the dancing was the most enjoyable part. The only problem was that I was enjoying watching people dance because I can’t dance. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I’ve tried to dance but my body is just not flexible enough. It’s too rigid to dance. I always feel out of place when people take to the dance floor. I’ve tried everything but to no avail. I’ve practised by myself but when I’m in public the moves fail me. I’ve even had a few people who can dance try to teach me but it hasn’t worked. It seems I’ll have to restrict myself to being a spectator. Unless I want to make a fool of myself of course.
