Just Wondering
Do you enjoy dancing?
Do you remember the last time you danced? What was the occasion?
How important are first impressions to you?
Do you generally make a good first impression or a bad one?

I was The Maid of Honor (or rather The old Maid of Honor) at a friend's wedding in 1998 and the best Man laughed at me as we "danced'...badly from his laughing at me. I have asked a couple of guy friends if they would show me how to dance, but they laugh at me too and just say it is something you do.
They stick with me, but are not always a deal breaker unless someone's behavior is mean.
Not sure. I try to make a good one, but never sure how it is taken.

First impressions are important to me if my first impression of someone is that they're rude, mean, dishonest, shallow, predatory, self-absorbed, delusional, dysfunctional,
president-elect(heh, sorry; that just slipped in.) I have a very keen ear for 'red flags'.I have no way of knowing what goes on in the brains of other people unless they tell me. I certainly don't know what criteria any given other person uses to judge first impressions. The first impression I try for these days is one of neutral appropriateness, proper manners, not showing off or talking too much: none of which really reflects my true bohemian nature. No idea to what extent it succeeds, but most people are nice to me, so I must be doing something right.

2. Probably at Upton Jazz Festival. Just because....
3. Reasonably important but I don't think you should dwell or rely too much on them
4. The only way to leave a bad first impression is not to leave an impression atall

It's been almost two months since I managed to get to a dance lesson. It was the usual Thursday night class. If you mean dancing with a partner type stuff, it's been about 25 years.
Fairly important. If a person is an ass on first meeting, it's going to take a lot for me to get over that.
I have no idea. But given my weirdness, I'm going to guess it's neither good nor bad but "out there"

I performed in our Christmas belly dance show last Wednesday.
They're fairly important, but I try not to let the first impression dominate because I am aware that people communicate in different ways - I try hard to adjust for this bias.
It can be very mixed, depending on the day and the other person. I tend to do really well with fellow introverts and people who love logic. I bristle at the loud-mouthed know-it-alls, and it shows (and the feeling is usually mutual, despite my best efforts to keep my feelings under control).

I really don't remember the last time I officially danced. It was probably in a show I did.
Call me shallow, but first impressions are important.
I probably make a forgettable impression. :p
Hugs, Jon

As for dancing at an occasion, the last one was my son's wedding.
First impressions are important, but they're not the only important factor.
I have made good impressions, lousy impressions, and no impression ... and I am sure that many of those times, I was not even aware of which one it was.

So that would have last been yesterday. Boyfriend and I were listening to Louis Jordan - Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens - so I was trying to chicken dance.
First impressions can be a bit random. I have *no idea* what sort of impression I give.

2. A Christmas dance on 12-11-16
3. With me, they usually last.
4. I like to think I make a good first impression.

At our last gig/concert in the park in August.
Not that much. I don't tend to worry about them all that much.
See the above.

Do you remember the last time you danced? What was the occasion? It was probably the last wedding we went to (though I do 'dance around the kitchen' by myself if a good song comes on!!)
How important are first impressions to you? Medium importance. If it is a 'planned' first meeting (example, son bringing home his 'new girl' to meet the folks) I'd expect her to be well turned out and on her best manners. If it's 'bumping into someone' at the Mall and being introduced by a mutual friend, I'd expect a lot less. However, I expect a smile, eye contact and polite words as a minimum.
Do you generally make a good first impression or a bad one? I'd like to think I make a good first impression. I smile and am friendly and generally enjoy meeting people. I think that comes across.

I love to dance, but my DH hates it and doesn't dance well, so I rarely have the chance to shake and get it on - LOL.
Do you remember the last time you danced? What was the occasion?
Probably a wedding, but I don't recall since I will dance to music while doing housework too. However, if you mean dancing in public, then a wedding for sure.
How important are first impressions to you?
First impressions will be made, but in the longer scheme of things, usually aren't that important and often aren't that accurate.
Do you generally make a good first impression or a bad one?
I have no idea, nor do I really care. I am who I am and I'm not changing that at this late stage of the game.

A week ago, in my living room - no occasion needed, lol!!
Pretty important, though I give you three chances.
I like to think generally a good one...
