Hear me out: there should be a class offered at the gym at 9am on the weekends that’s just for GenX and it’s basically just a dance party with all our tunes.

Only if there's a cameraman walking through the dancefloor and I can wear some cool threads! LOL!

9am? WTH the morning is half over by then.

Plus there are some classes out there like this, at least in our local area there is. If there isn't maybe its a good business opportunity for you in your area.

I would love to do an aqua fit (aerobics) class to the throw backs. The pool helps those joints ya know… my second home.

Taminella_Grinderfal@reddit

Yes! I miss getting dolled up and going out dancing, but I’m sure as hell not going to be that “weird old lady” at a club. 🤣

[-]

UnicornFarts1111@reddit

I'm not going anywhere at 9am on a Saturday.

[-]

eugenesnewdream@reddit

I wouldn't do anything at 9 a.m. on a weekend but if they offered it later, I would!

[-]

Van1sthand@reddit (OP)

I have school aged kids so I’m definitely up

[-]

eugenesnewdream@reddit

I do too, but I don’t get up with them on the weekends! If they have an early activity, fortunately my husband is a morning person.

[-]

the_natis@reddit

Maybe 3pm. Weekends are for sleeping until noon, lingering around the house in my robe, drinking my tea and then finally getting ready to go out around 2pm.

[-]

Tall-Nectarine202@reddit

I mean, I can’t dance anymore cuz I have bad feet. And my husband has bad knees. But I’d go hang out with people lol

[-]

NetJnkie@reddit

Sounds like it's time for a 55+ community for you. I'm sure they have those sorts of activities. :D

[-]

Nope. Still have school aged kids at home. I’m just too tired at night for clubbing and they aren’t playing my tunes. My mom is in one of those communities and they get together to crochet on Tuesday but no dancing.

NYC has after work dance parties from 6-9/10. It’s honestly a great evening:night for Gen X and older millennials to get their club on and then head home.

The bar is now open, 2 for 1 sex on the beachs..

Most dance fitness classes are already this.

Been going to classes since early 2000s and am a dance fitness instructor. All the best and most hype songs are from our peak clubbing years

[-]

Van1sthand@reddit (OP)

But I don’t want to follow along I just want to dance like I used to in the clubs.

[-]

East-Garden-4557@reddit

So play the music at home, turn it up loud, and dance your heart out. My kids grew up doing Mum's Moshpit in the loungeroom when it was raining and they couldn't play outside

I don’t want to be reminded that y’all are old.

FunScore3387@reddit

(Yawn) not at 9am. Now 9pm color me there

[-]

EntrancePotential595@reddit

9 am on. Sat.? Dude, I’m still in bed recovering from my hangovers…

[-]

SheriffBartholomew@reddit

Sign up for dance class?

[-]

StarDewbie@reddit

Honestly, cool, but I wouldn't get there until 2.

P.M. that is. I don't wake up to exercise.

[-]

Bucks2174@reddit

Of all the Gen X things we could do, you picked to dance?? Hard Pass. I'm there if you want to have a dodgeball tourney, though.

[-]

Vivid_Inspector3265@reddit

I agree.. let's get those dodge balls out. I just might have to skip this week. Had a cortisone shot in the knee. Let's try for next week. Lol

[-]

Reboot-Glitchspark@reddit

9am is way too late, that's past my bedtime. Let's make it 3am instead. Just enough time after the bars close to get some coffee and breakfast at Dennys first.

[-]

Iron_Chic@reddit

Seriously. By 9AM, I have run all my errands and am taking a late morning nap!

[-]

punkdrummer22@reddit

So Slayer, Suicidal Tendencies and Carcass? Sweet!

I can't have Pepsi anymore. All that rage just to give it up 30 years later

Most Pit is at Noon.

[-]

OuchBag@reddit

Also, I'm not fucking getting up for a 9am Saturday anything except maybe a good dump.

[-]

eyecandynsx@reddit

That’d be cool… at like 6:30 or 7 am. I’ve got shit to do.

[-]

Ok_Industry3016@reddit

I'm down!

[-]

STGItsMe@reddit

Nostalgia playlists are incredibly tedious.

[-]

Suckerforcats@reddit

I'm too lazy to leave the house but I have found a couple on YouTube. Check out Reps to the Rhythm and We Love Dance. It's easy stuff

[-]

Odd_Praline181@reddit

Some other dance fitness formats to search for: Commit, Turn up with Tanci, MixxedFit.

I've been licensed in these and many of the instructors have their own YouTube channels as well

Have fun!

Lopsided_Parfait7127@reddit

Sweating to the oldies is already a class

[-]

Van1sthand@reddit (OP)

Nah, I’m not trying to do jumping jacks to the music, I just want to dance.

[-]

Abpoe77@reddit

Could we do 10 ish. I like to sleep in just a bit and putter around the house for a little bit

[-]

Van1sthand@reddit (OP)

Sold

[-]

slade797@reddit

Whatever

[-]

pdx_mom@reddit

Lol. I was just commenting how the radio used to have all 80s weekends of the songs from the 80s and fast forward 30 years and they ....still do 80s weekends on the radio.

Maybe it is because we are the only ones who actually listen to the radio (I actually usually listen to podcasts alone in the car) but my friend said it's cause our music was so awesome

[-]

MountainTomato9292@reddit

I’m not up yet at 9am on weekends. I’d have to set an alarm, and that’s a no from me dawg.
