Dancing.

<p>So..who here likes to dance? Who goes to parties? (school or non-school)
I don't..but was thinking of going to one
Sadly, I'm one of those average CC people...don't know how to dance..can't even picture myself dancing..how did you learn? What is the "secret" to dancing? Is it easy?
I'm going to a dance (Nor Cali.) soon...any tips? Suggestions? Ways to hook up with a girl?
Thanks again</p>

<p>I like show choir/choreography.
But I've never been to a school dance.</p>

<p>i go to school and people's houses parties. I'm okay at dancing but what do you do when you dance that makes you so bad? I'm a girl so i'm going to tell the kinda guys i like... be sweet, honest, and charming, also be good looking..lol</p>

<p>I like school dances. I don't go to parties. Unless you count birthday parties D:
The "secret" to dances is just going with the beat/rhythm and just letting yourself do whatever. I think it's fairly easy, but guys usually can't. It's slightly annoying when you have no idea what the guy your dancing with is doing, but many guys are like this.</p>

<p>^ lol i had that happen once...</p>

<p>Me too. I love dances, but the only kinds of parties I have go to are small ones, and I've never been to a house party. I find that the secret to dancing is not being too worried what other people are going to think. The people who just dance how they want to dance have more fun. At my school a lot of the guys just walk around and stare at people. You probably should avoid this method.</p>

<p>I love dancing. I've been trained classically and dance ballet about 10 hours weekly these days. And on the dance floor I'm pretty good too. My friends all say I dance well but like a slut. Everyone knows I'm a huge prude, so I think it's okay if I dance a little wildly sometimes.</p>

<p>For the most part it's about confidence and (for party dancing) relaxation. You can't be tense or the girls will get freaked out.
Ask a girl to dance with you or if the music's too loud for her to hear you, hold out your hand. Never sneak up behind a girl and start grinding with her! Let her dance with you in a way in which she's comfy. If she wants to slow dance, just basically move around in a circle. You don't need to do anything impressive, we know not to expect much. Most girls around here at least will just grind with a guy. Girls lead in most grinding situations, so just move your hips the way she does and hold her hands at her hip level. You're basically getting a lap dance so you don't have to do anything. It's pretty easy. If she "drops it like its hot" you have to go down too. Don't fall on her! A guy fell on me once and it was sort of cute, but not really. Also, try not to get, erm, aroused. Some girls see it as a token of appreciation for what they're doing, like a standing ovation or something, but I bet most would get freaked out.
If you connect with a girl, stick with her for more than one dance and whisper in her ear while you're dancing, but don't be clingy. If you don't have that syzygy with her, you can just say "thanks" politely after one song and move on.</p>

<p>I'll go crazy with my friends or in a very dimly lit school dance...but I don't really dance with other people watching...except for performances.</p>

<p>I krump the sh.it out of school dances if that's what you were wondering, but if you want to catch a girl's eye break loose the Charleston (you're gold with this)</p>

<p>Are we talking about a formal dance here?</p>

<p>My mother taught me to dance (classical stuff) when I was like 12, and at age 14 or 15 every girl in my country (not every, but you get it) takes dancing lessons..
They loved me for not stepping on their toes (and I'm still minority with that..)</p>

<p>Do not focus on your feet or dancing, not focus on the music, just go with it, and have pleasant conversation with your partner. It doesn't matter if you know any fancy steps or something, just doing the traditional stuff is enough if you do it well enough. Leading is something you need to practise with someone who tells you (honestly) if you are pushy or something, and being lead probably too. Having a sister helps :-)</p>

<p>As to my secret: Dance with your partner a few times, ask her girlfriends for a dance too (especially if their partners don't cooperate) and tell them how you enjoy yourself, then be the gentleman and ask someones' mother / a teacher / or the lonely, lost outsider :-) And then get your girl again. She'll love you ;-)</p>

<p>You mean like freaking? since that's all they do at dances now...</p>

<p>You have to be retarded to not be able to do it lol</p>

<p>jk
Just move with the girl/guy and the rhythm as best as you can?</p>

<p>I also practice some hip hop dancing. There are lots of youtube videos online to show you how. I am getting pretty good at footwork like gliding.</p>

<p>i dont really dance at parties and stuff, i like to just chill, but i love going to punk/dj/dancy band shows and getting wild.</p>
