I Don't Dance (High School Musical song)

"I Don't Dance" is a song performed by actor-singers Lucas Grabeel and Corbin Bleu in the television movie High School Musical 2, released in 2007.

[3] The Village Voice's Tom Breihan called the song "the movie's best dance-number" and commented how the routine managed to "include rapping and swing-dancing, which sort of blew [his] mind.

Writing for The New York Times, Kelefa Sanneh called the tune "excruciating,"[6][7] whereas Virginia Heffernan felt that the music was "a superb idea, as it plays off both the Latinization of the major leagues (by letting a little salsa into the hip-hop) and the spectacular pitcher-batter operetta showdowns of recent seasons," but that the camera work let the scene down noting that "viewers never get a sustained look at the choreography ... and for that reason it’s hard to appreciate specific dancers or their clever configuration.

"[8] The promotional video for the song blends scenes from the movie's dance sequence with clips of notable Major League Baseball players including Ryan Howard, Cole Hamels, Jimmy Rollins, Jake Peavy, Justin Verlander, Craig Biggio, David Eckstein, So Taguchi, Bronson Arroyo, CC Sabathia, Nick Swisher, Jeff Francoeur, Brian McCann, B.J.

The I Don't Dance music video shown at over sixty youth baseball events during the Road Trip, culminating at the Little League World Series, where it served as the theme song for the games.
