I plan on doing exactly that... but I think I am more of a merengue guy.

Did you have the long flowy hair too?
^ No. Missed out on that one. 
Although, metal-wise, some people say that in the present time, I look like Rob Halford.

Dance teachers be damned. This is what it's all about:

I want to do that.
This made the Facebook rounds not long ago, and it's really great:

I'm reminded of the Scottish country dancing scene from the end of an episode of Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, where we discover how much of a true Scotsman that Frank Spencer was.
Oh hell yeahDance teachers be damned. This is what it's all about:
It wasn't until I saw a recent TV documentary about the 90th anniversary of the RSCDS that I suddenly had a resurgence of feeling towards Scottish dancing, and in particular to the dancing that I thought I had left behind and forgotten way back then. I really want to take it up again some day - not just the rough and ready ceilidh party dancing with the Strip the Willow and Military Two-Step and Eightsome Reel and other things that everyone knows and loves, but the actual formal stuff with the black pumps and kilts and full Highland dress and pas de Basque (so that's how you spell it
) and everything. Also, the music. Once I find the time, I want to dust off my violin and rejoin a Strathspey & Reel music group again. I still have my old music manuscripts somewhere.
Actually, let's go one step further. We need to start a TrekBBS Ceilidh.
That is fantastic.
Do I dance?

No. I might make an exception for slow dances though

^^^ I'm no good at slow dancing. 
Maybe I need more practice.

This!
And I sweat way way way too much when I dance. So I guess it's a major turn off when there is someone to dance with.

There's no need to be "good" at slow dancing, as such. As anyone who went to high school in the 80's knows: all that is required is just rocking back and forth slowly while squeezing someone. That's the only slow dancing that matters.
I never learned how to dance - being a musician I was always on the opposite side of the ballroom than the dancers
I'm a charter member of the local square dance club, but I don't think that actually counts as dancing (LOL now I'll be getting death threats from square dancers all over the world
)

You have my attention.
