Position:Home>Dancing> Can someone help me? PLEASE????


Question:My friend and I have been 'assigned' to the task of making up a dance together! Guess what? We really can't dance!! And the song that the whole group have to dance to is Bon Jovi - It's my life (which I'm quite happy about to be honest). =)

But, my friend and I are the worst dancers that you could EVER imagine!!! Everyone else in the class are really good at dancing except for me and my friend who just sit on the radiator all lesson lacking the imagination and confidence to do anything else!

Could anyone help us think of some good dances moves/steps that would fit this song? We've tried looking on youtube but we can't find anything! We've only got 2 weeks to have it perfected!!! :(

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Well this is a hard one.... I think first of all you should take time to realize that you probley should have paid attention. But I think you know that already! You could either talk to your teacher and tell her your sorry but its over your head and that you'll be paying more attention and hope she gives you that same responsibility in time.

BUT if you have no way of getting out of it, its my life is a pop ish song.... its got a great beat for beginners and is slower. Watch bring it on's ending scene, and some old Britney Spears, NSync and Backstreet Boy videos, those are relatively simple.

Omg girl,dancing can be just moving your hands in the wind!!! then sway your shoulders with the breeze.. and let it flo--- its called interpretive dance...anything you do if it comes from the soul will look good! let em' laugh -uck um...I know you will look great, just twist around each each other to the beat! You got it?

i remember seeing a video on yahoo (i think it was called answers on the streets or something) that showed how to dance well. but really, and i'm totally serious, even if you go in without any practice, just move randomly! if you don't show any signs of being embarrassed or shy, people will totally dig you and your friends outgoingness. yeah they'll laugh but so should you guys. its not like they're laughing at you guys saying wow what a bunch of losers, it's more like wow these guys are hilarious! i know because i am a horrible dancer. every time i'm in a situation where i need to dance, i just go crazy. i'm jumping all over the place and actin a fool. so don't fret! in no time this will be a moment you and your friend will cherish and remember, something you guys will laugh at.

Alone in your room, stand, close your eyes, listen to the beat, rhythm, let your mind pick out what it enjoys, then sway your body to this, when there is a change in tempo move your legs accordingly, let the rest of your body follow.
Just relax and try to enjoy the sound with your whole body.
Have your friend do it the same way.
See what makes your friend move.
Then with some practice get in sync with each other. Don't worry what others might think. You won't know, and it does not matter. Set yourself free, and enjoy what your ears and body tells you.

take a look at a good dance fitness video the moves are easy.

you may find some really cool moves in the internet like in youtube or something
look from the music clips cause the moves there are easier

try to make characters for yourself.
look @ the lyrics for the song. try to
forget about the music video.

what does it remind you of?
how can you put that into movements?
