Getting dance

How do you know if you're a 'dance person'? Not the TV show, mind you, I'm thinking of broader contemporary dance. I like dancing out at clubs - admittedly not as often nowadays. But I would have considered myself pretty much not a dance person before seeing Bangarra's Mathinna last week. Intense ...
