FEW Spanish adults enjoy hitting the dance floor, especially in public – but those living in the northern region of Asturias are more likely to do so, according to a survey.
Even then, only 28% say they 'enjoy dancing very much'.
Brand manager for the video game Just Dance, Ubisoft, was curious to find out why this was the most-sold game in Spain over the last two Christmases, and decided to conduct a survey.
Ubisoft interviewed 2,275 people who had bought or been given a Just Dance game and found that 84% of teens aged 11 to 16 enjoyed dancing and 55% of these did so at least once a week, at discos or parties.
From age 17 to 24, those who used to hit the dance floor in their early teens fell to 43% of the total, and from mid-20s to mid-30s, to 34%.
Only one in three Spaniards aged 36 to 50 said they ever danced in public and just one in five of the over-50s.
Of those who do not, 42% said they never had time to go out and dance, 31% said they felt they were not very good at it, 24% were too embarrassed, and 9% said they were too lazy, but only 15% claimed they did not enjoy it.
