Question: What makes black people better dancers!?
I've been watching some funky house street dancing & the black guys just look so flexible & smooth with their moves in comparison to the white fellas!. Have they got more flexible joints or something anatomy wise!?

Perhaps you won't agree, or maybe you'll call me racist, which I guess I am in this sense as race is what I think defines the difference here but certainly not in derogatory terms!

I'm joining a dance club, always wanted to learn so now is the time!. Hope to learn a few tricks, not to become a pro by any means, just more to gain confidence to hit the floor in the clubs more without looking like a dick!.

Dancing is a much bigger part of the black culture than the white culture!. They even dance in church!. It is a part of their lives from a very early age!. It can be compared to say how some white kid may be ice skating at a very early age!.!.!.like Wayne Gretzky!.

I have also read that Africans have more elasticity in their achilles tendon than white people, which makes them on average better runners and better jumpers!.

Everything can be explained through the nature of our species and where we came from!.

We should be celebrating our differences!.!.!.!.not killing each other over them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

in my opinion, the black dancers appear to have better rhythm than the other races!.
And to look good dancing they also have the attitude!

which is why when people like Pink, M&M, Justin Timberlake, Christina Agrilara etc come out (although not all of them dance) you instantly think they are black !.!. which is weird because they clearly have white skin, haha

but what they all have in common is attitude, confidence and rhythm
and those are the qualities which make them look goodWww@QuestionHome@Com

I,m a white African!. Black people are born into a culture of happiness!. They grow up smiling, laughing and dancing!. All tribes have tribal customs, which include certain rituals but always, dance!. They are born mostly into poverty, but free of worry!.

The Westerners go around with the world on their shoulders (never making enough money) as their entire life balances on profit!.

How many black people do you find with grey hair (which is stress related)!?

my belief is that its an entirely genetic thing, have a look at footage of African tribal dances, and other national dancing and celebrations, amongst all the people involved, they are rhythmic and move entirely with the music, and that has translated down the centuries to modern day dance!. As a young person i had many black friends, who all could dance, they had what you would call natural rhythm, and that the children would watch and learn, so its passed on basically!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Nothing makes them better dancers, because they aren't better dancers!. Skill in dancing is an individual matter, not one of races!. I read your question in spite of how offensive it is!. Racism of any type is wrong!. Deciding who is the best dancer is a very subjective matter!. You aren't qualified to pronounce such judgments as this!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

rhythm!. white 'fellas' mostly (in my experience, and I'm not including everyone) don't have this!. with the exception of few!. lol!. I wouldn't say its racist exactly, to say that black men are better than white, but yeah, I can understand why people would say that, though!.

I agree, but at the same time from going to clubs (back in a day) i ve noticed that they are mostly white, except for only a few black people!. Meanwhile, the music playing is what i would ve considered very tribal type of music, how come!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

i doubt it!. i think its just a matter of how much effort you put in and what kind of role models / people you have to look up toWww@QuestionHome@Com

Because they have evolved to run on their bare feet & dodge any large rocks & slippery banana skins in their original homeland of which i suppose have made them better dancers!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It depends what kind of dancing your talking about!.

This is really racist!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think black people are more suited in the pop cuture which includes dancingWww@QuestionHome@Com

Some people, even some blacks, say that such physical abilities come from 400 years of breeding -- referring to slavery!.

Of course, racial slavery in the Americas didn't last quite that long!. The point is, social, cultural and economic factors all play in!. NOT biological!. It's the same reason many athletes are black but not many managers and owners!. For too many black people, sports or dancing are the only ways out of the ghetto, so that's what they do!. Pro sports drafts are like a modern slave trade !. !. !. except with way better benefits, obviously; but the black stereotypes remain intact!.

And then we have the nerve to turn the "poor black athlete whose mom was murdered as he grew up on the streets" a *success* story !. !. !. i!.e!. we love to turn everything into a cinderalla story, all the while ignoring the obvious social situation that we refuse to do anything about!.

That's why!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I Don't Know!.!.!. Maybe Because They're Black!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
