nondancer
Won't take floor
A nondancer is someone who doesn't dance—either by choice, ability, or circumstance.
The term often distinguishes those sitting out from those on the floor: The nondancers clustered around the punch bowl.
It can also describe someone who simply lacks dancing skill or inclination: As a lifelong nondancer, weddings are my nightmare.
