Dancing -need advice from girls-

Pre-College Issues High School Life
1

<p>Here's the situation. </p>

<p>My parents want me to do something over the summer besides alg/trig, chem, community service, and physics. Thereupon, they offered me three choices: Tennis lessons, Golf lessons, and dance lessons.</p>

<p>Now, in context of survival of the fittest I chose dance, in that, as everyone knows exemplary dancing is a rare trait in men, therefore might help attract a girl if I ever was attracted to one. </p>

<p>So I was wondering what kind of dancing should I take up? I just want to please at high school dances. </p>

<p>What should I do? Jazz, swing, hip hop, , salsa, etc?</p>

<p>I was thinking something modern yet sophisticated.</p>

<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>Hip hop if you want to look like a tool. Otherwise get something partner oriented (ie the tango) cause that’s a sure winner with the ladies.</p>

3

<p>i would go with jazz, i love it.</p>

4

<p>I’m a girl, and I actually think guys who can do hip hop are hot. But maybe that’s just me.</p>

5

<p>No offense, but I would NEVER want to date a guy who took jazz dance classes.</p>

<p>If anything, I would take ballroom dancing</p>

6

<p>Ballroom is fine but you’re not going to do that at a high school dance. I would go with the Hip Hop as well…it’ll help you with rythym and it is current enough to keep you going for several years at least. Unless, you happen to live in say Nashville…then I’d go with line dancing.</p>

7

<p>I’m biased since I dance, but I would say ballet. Honestly, partnering is so much fun, and maybe it’s hot too. I don’t know personally, my partner is not interested in women and a lot older than I.
If not classical ballet, then ballroom dancing.</p>

8

<p>NOT hip hop. Oh god no.</p>

<p>I think swing would be good. It’s sorta fast (like hip hop), but you won’t look like a tool.</p>

<p>But jazz would also be fine.</p>

<p>I wish they could bring back dancing from the first half of the twentieth century.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You’d be hard pressed to find anything other than freaking and group dancing at a high school dance. Maybe it’s different at your school.</p>

10

<p>From what I’ve seen through youtube videos, swing seems the best.</p>

11

<p>High school dances = grinding/moving with the rhythm of the music. It takes absolutely no skill at all</p>

12

<p>Ballroom dancing my man</p>

13

<p>My friends who took swing dance always said they needed more guys, and usually they thought the guys in the class were hot, so…</p>

14

<p>no girl would be turned off by a dancing boy. unless their shallow.</p>

<p>i started dance this year and im taking a modern/contemporary class and ballet</p>

<p>i say take a modern course it’s really fun</p>

15

<p>Ballroom is great, but I have an amazing time swing dancing, although I do live in a farming area, so that might just be a “culture” thing. Go with ballroom.</p>

16

<p>Do not take a hiphop class. These second rate classes are a joke. In general, you only do choreo, and never real dancing. By real dancing, I mean popping, house, bboy, locking or any other of the real elements of hiphop.</p>

<p>But if you can find a good teacher, I would recommend hiphop 100%.</p>

<p>To Eriatarka:</p>

<p>Hiphop isnt for tools, but a lot of tools happen to like hiphop.</p>

17

<p>Either break or tango. You have no other options.</p>

<p>It’d be tough to find a good mentor for the former, so your best bet would be to make or find a bboy group at your school. You can just tag along and keep out of competitions for the beginning, and when you get better, you could devote more time. On the other hand, there are plenty of tango classes out there, but whether they can actually make you a good dancer is a matter of a lucky draw.</p>

18

<p>NO HIP HOP</p>

<p>Like the others, ballroom is nice.</p>

19

<p>Lol, why does everyone hate hip hop? If you’re good, it can be really entertaining. If you’ve got a good crew, you could be the life of a party/dance. I’m talking about ABDC kind of breaking, not those sad attempts those orange guido kids with shutter shades do at school dances.</p>

<p>Can you do a flash kick, finishing with a coin drop, without breaking your neck? I thought not. Because it’d be pretty impressive if you could.</p>

<p>The problem with bboying though, is the both the learning curve and the high aesthetic requirement. Pretty much, if you are not GOOD, you will look like a worm on the floor.</p>
