We’re all born with rhythm. How we dance adults depends primarily on 1) the musical style we were exposed to growing up and 2) how much we were exposed to dancing, and encouraged to dance, growing up. The first problem with your statement is that I assume you’re defining dancing as ‘hip hop’ dancing or the social dancing that’s currently popular. Dancing has many genres and styles and many of those styles are very much dominated by white people. So now that hip hop dancing is the norm, white people now stand out like a sore thumb, since they’ve been exposed to it less. Hip hop culture and dancing has become so pervasive that it’s the new standard in terms of ‘rhythm.’ If your parents never played any old school hip hop or exposed you to many songs with a heavy bassline and the rhythms and beats that are now popular, then when you’re finally exposed to it, it feels unnatural when you try to move to it. Music and dance is a celebrated and important part of black culuture for one reason or another and basically, if you grow up on that stuff, in general you bob your head much more easily and the moves come easier. It’s not foremost a race thing, it’s more a culuture thing. There’s a lot of white people who can dance to ‘hip hop’ music and there are a lot who since being exposed, are learning to dance to ‘hip hop’ and will expose their children to the same type of musical beats and related dance styles down the line.
