Dear Wendy,
If I were you,I will see the situation as OK.

If I was your BF, and one of my friend has an issue with Dancing it is to him, Why should i start explain him,”oh no, you don’t understand../you see the point…/My GF likes it../… so on and so forth..”

I just IGNORE.

As long as me and my lover has no issues on Dancing, why should I even bother about others.
coming to listening to them on this.Well, not all the times ,we have meaningful discussions.Sometimes,friends talk silly,non-sense,… 🙂
In a situation like this,my thought process will be I know my friend is talking silly.I don’t need to make him understand that he is silly.But I will tell my GF ,to ignore silly talks.
