Dancing

How would you describe a person who cant dance well. I mean, a coordinated person, however the person doesnt shake smoothly, dances like a "rock".
How would you describe the act: "she ..."

I think we would probably say "She �s got two left feet." But maybe someone else has some other ideas?

But doesn it mean the person is not coordinated?
I don �t know.
I mean when the person is coordinated and dance like a piece of wood, doesn �t move well. |

@Mari : Juliag "two left feet" is the correct expressiom to describe someone who can �t dance due to lack of talent! Nothing to do with coordination.
I have no idea if you Brazilians use the expression "p� de chumbo" but that �s what we call here, in Portugal, someone with no talent to dance.
hope this helps.
