It isn't so much that they don't like dancing, but the reasons that they don't like it (or don't like official dance-club dancing or hip-hop dancing or college mixers or the prom as opposed to, say, slam dancing), which would be a feeling of alienation from the conditions of dating and dancing and standard public display and peer pressure and parties that you're not invited to and even if you were you wouldn't know what to do at them.

Yes - to clarify, in the comment above I was specifically referring to the physical action of dancing. Of course the social awkwardness/associations can detract from one's enjoyment of the physical motion.
