Definition

A person who does not dance or is not involved in dancing.

Example

At the party, she felt like a nondancer among all the skilled performers.

Conversation

I can't believe you went to that dance party last night.

I know, right? Even though I'm a total nondancer.

You should have just enjoyed the music instead of worrying about dancing.

True, I guess being a nondancer doesn’t mean I can’t have fun!

Root Explanation

Nondancer → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "dancer" (from Old French *danser*, meaning to dance). The word "nondancer" refers to someone who does not dance.

Memory Tip

Think of 'non-' meaning 'not' and 'dancer' as someone who dances — so a nondancer is simply someone who does not dance.
