It makes things go better, and brings my mood up if it's down. But when I'm feeling especially rebellious, I'll dance around to Green Day (much to the chagrin of Mr Izz
).

Let's see- as a kid, and later as an adult, I took ballet(great exercise)- not much good but it sure gives a great appreciation of those who can do it.
Flatfootin' - I grew up with that.
Tap- that's just plain fun-but I remember very little.
Clogging- even more fun. I've got clog taps epoxied onto a pair of black high top sneakers. Once I confess, I sent a tap flying across the room when it's glue gave way.
I know a bit of ballroom dancing.
My dad taught me to jitterbug.
I always wanted to learn step dancing but never could find anyone to teach me. I did learn a Canadian waltz clog once.
I've always danced. I love to dance and will be on the floor in a minute given the opportunity.

I just like something really upbeat and "danceable". My tastes really vary in this area (in terms of what is good music to clean to or not). I can see where Ace of Base might be a good choice

It uses repetitious rhythms that remind me of shamanistic drumming.
