How come black people know how to dance really good?

Question:If you've ever been in all black dance clubs, you know that cliches are cliches for a reason. It's in their blood. And it's basically rhythm. An elemental rhythm that is their heritage, that they sense and pull right out of the air. Haven't you seen African 'dancers', Haitians and Jamaicans? The Slave Ships brought it right along that line. I'm white as bread and I can 'dance', for a white boy. I learned it from hanging with the folks. You spend anytime in an inner city and you'll see that the people know the dance. We should of course never stereotype anyone. Some things are just a fact. Long live the funk.

Generally speaking, I think it's in their culture and environment growing up. But last I looked, there are plenty of caucasians, asians, and others that also know how to dance. So I'm guessing these people practice, practice, practice.

hmmm idk im mixed and i cant dance woth acrap!! heh... <33333333

Maybe they're more athletic, or the way that they dance seems more unique (since before they weren't allowed to express themselves)

Okay, this seems like a hardcore steretype.
I think it is just the culture and type of music they listen to.
Mostly, they listen to R&B, Hip Hop, Rap... things that make you want to get up and move, why not have the moves to go with that?

completly untrue. its only a stereotype.
like blonds are stupid
and asians are genius

it just comes to some of us naturally like me!!!!

not all black people can dance. for some its just a way of life and most of us just get that talent from God to dance really good.

oh pfoofth! anyone with some teaching and lots of practice can dance!

They've got a secret handbook that white people aren't allowed to read. If you pretend you're not looking and look at them in the mirror or turn your head real fast you might be able to just catch a glimpse of one quickly tucking one in their back pocket. It's kinda like seeing fairies.
