On a side note: Anybody ever get caught doin the "Dave Jig" by a friend/family member when you thought you were home alone and jamming out? That's always a face-flusher.
Dave's dancing is the epitome of NO RYTHYM. :)

He is a perfect example of why white men shouldn't dance

Yeh, I guess that's true :lol: But that video posted earlier of Dave ... that's the longest i think i've ever seen him do the jig since his younger days. But I like the one he does during the breakdown on Stand Up on the latest red rocks DVD.

i love the LB on red rocks with robert randolph, i think that is one of the best dave dances ever just because they are feeling the music so much. thats what his dance is all about, same with much of his singing, its all about passion!

I don't know why, probably cause of dave but i have completely adopted his moves when it comes to me dancing. I have never been great at dancing but now i just flow with the music, get my feet going, its great fun. I had four chicks dancing with me at the club one time and they all told me how sexy i looked when i danced. Dave is the fucking man!

I don't think it has anything to do with rythym, it's all a feel for the music his strum hand has all the rythym.

how can you say it has nothing to do with rythym? dave does that along with the rythym of the music if you actually watch it

yea. any dancing takes rhythm. you can't dance without rhythm. hence why white man is not good at dancing.

But seriously, yea wtf dancing has EVERYTHING to do with rhythm. You can't even bob your knees and your head without rhythm... it is essential to any dancing.
