I don't know how to fast dance and prom is coming up in a couple of weeks an

Question:As i said, prom is coming up in a couple of weeks and i have no clue how to fast dance (and am a little bit too shy :/), which i was told takes up about 60% of the entire dance. I've read a lot of things that say "just move your body to the beat" or things of that such. well i can't seem to do that... and don't quite know how (that may sound dumb or pathetic but it's true). If i "move my body to the beat" i already know that i am going to look like a dumba.......
and if there's an idea saying that i should only dance the slow ones then, i'm afraid that i might make it too boring for my date. So if anyone knows how to help me "move to the beat" or.. get me out of the fast dancing lol (preferably the other) that would be great

and i'm a guy not a belly dancer lol

they key to dancing is listening to the music and finding the rhythm and beat.what they mean by "finding the beat" is finding the rhythm, like how fast or slow the MUSIC is.you can practice this by just listening to music on the radio while driving and really listening for the beat/music in the background. and then snap your fingers or something like that to keep track of the beat,just while finding it and getting used to it.

also,while dancing with your date don't think about the situation so much.if you just go with the flow chances are you won't look as stupid as you think you will. don't think about being shy,just think about having fun!

good luck!

okay here's what you're going to do. you're going to go to the video store and rent 'you got served', 'step up', and 'footloose'. memorize all the moves you can..good luck.

just sort of bob up and down and side to side. once you start you are going to have so much fun,and you will just get it. whatch your date and sort of copey her a little bit.
