OK, I have accumulated evidence to support my argument in response to the assertion by SOME that RS is NOT a good dancer, when, in fact, I think he is.
First we must define what makes a good dancer. A good dancer:
1) Has musicality 2) Has a unique way of moving that fits them and with which they seem comfortable
A good dancer does not need to be athletic, have a certain type of body, etc. There are plenty of beautiful differently-abled dancers who use wheelchairs.
As Mark Morris says, "Dance is for anybody."
Exhibit A In Orange; Six Different Ways A totally bad dancer couldn't easily nail dancing to a count of six AND his movements are uniquely him; he is using his body in fairly complex, yet natural, ways here
Exhibit B He used to go out dancing/clubbing and the lyrics from ICNBTS reference "the way we danced all night" People who are bad dancers don't usually like to dance (except for Elaine from Seinfeld)
Exhibit C Video for WCIBY He nails the "complex choreography" OK, it is not complex, but some others in the video "struggle a bit"; he sells the fur suit
Exhibit D JLH video He is a great partner for Mary; sure, he probably learned everything he knows from Mary, but I tried to teach my husband to dance before we got married in a tango class and it didn't go so well; my feet got stepped on
So, can he do multiple pirouettes en dehors a la seconde? Not likely.
When you have 46 years of dance training, you can tell me who is or is not a good dancer (I hope you know I am not that snotty and that I say that tongue-in-cheek). Until then, RS is a good dancer and I hope he dances in line at the grocery store if the mood strikes!

The prosecution has received new evidence to the contrary. We request the court is adjourned until such time we are in a position to present the aforementioned evidence

He may well be a good dancer, but on a separate note which applies specifically to me, I don’t get how anyone annoys dancing. I suppose there’s a difference between trained dance, such as ballet (or whatever else you’re trained in kirstie), and just dancing in your own way at clubs or to live music. Though I love music more than life itself, I can’t feel the connection between hearing it and moving my body.
Pretty much the only song that comes close to physically moving me is this:
If you have a lead on Brisbane 21 August 1992 - CT version, for the love of Bob, let me know. Please!

Wow, that song makes me want to move, too. Far away.
Ain’t no thing if you don’t like dancing or feel the urge. All is well and normal.

You don’t like Regurgitator? Shame on you
Hahah yeah each to their own, I just could not ever understand the appeal of dancing. Probably cos I’m useless at it.

The case for the prosecution:
Exhibit A A balmy evening in southern France at an outdoor arena. It’s obvious that he’s swotting away mosquitoes.
Exhibit B In ‘Give Me It’ he has made reference to slitting a cat like cheese, eating the sticky things whist being in the company of a pig wearing a groovy purple shirt. Just because he sang about it does not mean he did it.
Exhibit C He may have made all the right moves but they were not necessarily in the right order.
Exhibit D From the way he hops around he looks like a toddler being dragged away from the pick ‘n mix at Woolworths by his mother. He’s forcing Mary off balance...seconds later he’s looking for her over the edge of a cliff.
It’s safe to assume that RS doesn’t know his pirouettes en dehors from his chateauneuf-du-pape.
When you have over half a century taking up every opportunity to avoid dancing, I can identify fellow individuals who are equally as uncomfortable as I am.
