Need more diversity in dancing - what would you like to see our Sims doing

I would love if they added slow dancing and parents being able to dance with their child (kinda like how parents would play with their kids in TS2)

More variety with the group dances would be great as well :#

Honestly I just want my sims to dance like normal people. They dance rather stupid already imo.

YES!

For God’s sake don’t give them any ideas!

I can see them taking notes of this which saddens me.
I remember Sims 3 University Life had a Gangnam Style-esque dance right when it started losing popularity and it felt... forced...

This! From the original "Tropico" game! :D

all styles of couple dancing one could come up with really

but also id love some slower styles for one sim dances because it looks stupid when they start dancing like crazy to slow music

graceful performance dances
ancient styles/traditional styles and such would be cool

and tbh im still sad they missed out on hula in IL so that

Maori Haka

As much as I love the Haka, I doubt they'd add it due to it's cultural significance.

What dances would you like to see our Sims doing

Well, since you asked...

Lets start with dance for couples.

Swing. It's made a huge comeback in the last couple of decades.

Tango.

Instead of the Highland dancing, how about a Cèilidh? Or a Cèili (as the Irish call it). It's partnered step dancing, but done as a group.

And then there's the English version, known as Old English Country Dances. (if you've ever seen an adaptation of any Jane Austen, it's the dances you'll see.) They're slower, and more stately than the previous styles.

Old English Country Dances have been danced for a very long time, they're often called The Playford Country Dances due to a dance book from the mid 1600's, but are believed to have been danced for at least 100 years prior.

Square dance is a modern adaptation of Old English Country Dances.
They use the same sets of steps, but you don't need to learn the individual dances.


And on the topic of adaptations...
American Tribal Style. It's an adaptation of middle eastern, north African,and Indian belly dance. Like square dance, it uses sets of steps, rather than requiring dancers learn an entire dance. It too is a dance for groups of dancers. Though typically danced by women, there are men who also dance.

Bollywood? I admit to having seen this movie.

Not that I'm adverse to Bhangra. It's apparently a warrior dance type, martial arts as a dance?
Which leads to...

Georgian folk dance.
Which can also be a combat dance.

Or a folk ballet.

And I guess I could throw in a Northern Aussie type dance... I don't mean the first part.
Meet Djuki Mala, previously known as the Chooky Dancers...
Watch it the whole way through, because it totally changes pace part way through.

Apparently Baker Boy was an original member of the group.

Flossing? Dabbing?

...

*Sigh*. I’m getting old. :(

I want them to bring the Smustle from Sims 2 back! And I want slow dancing too. Ballet dancing! Ballroom dancing would be amazing.
