Dancing is subjective and it is hard to dance with someone and not have it be an intimate encounter. Personally I think that if there is no touching then it can't be inappropriate (outside of obviously offensive gestures). Add to that it is easier to not look awkward when your dancing with someone else as opposed to solo so you need to get close and kinda match their movement and it can sometimes look sexual. If it is done in an adult environment then the only opinions that should matter are those of your partner and yourself.
On a side note, don't worry about the bad dancing. I too am afflicted with this and I fully believe that except for a chosen few men can not look good dancing as we really do not have the grace and beauty of our better halves.  |
Perfect, and accurate. Well, all but the last 'side note'...lol I bet you look just fine dancing. Men are too tough on themselves!
I would only add, that slow dancing (which I think is what the OP was asking about) is
supposed to involve close touching (unless it's ballroom in which case it's a totally different...er...ballgame) and is usually done by men and women as a way to avoid looking awkward by dancing at all. I used to ONLY slow dance because it was easy just to let the man lead me around the room or just shuffle in place. Once I got confident enough to fast dance--different topic--I changed up a few things but I still slow dance the same..let the partner take the lead and just stay close
