Question: How do you dance!?!?
I suck at dancing, it's one of the few things I'm really self-conscious about!.
I love music, but I just can't express that love through my body!.!.!.
the point is I'm going to a club on Friday and I don't know how to dance!.
It's not a competition or anything, but I don't want to look anti-social or moody if I can help it!. People do dance there, but I don't know how to!.
Any ideas/advice/help or website links would be very much appreciated!. Nothing too hard please! Just a few moves that'll get my through the evening!! =] I'm a girl by the way!.!. xxWww@QuestionHome@Com

I used to be a terrible dancer too, so I understand!. You might want to watch some music videos!. As long as you can clap to the music, and find the beats, you'll look great dancing!. Try to bend your knees a little, so you don't look stiff!. As long as your confident, everybody will think you're a great dancer!. have fun with it!Www@QuestionHome@Com

ok so its just in a club!?!? thats easy!.!.!.!.!.!. i am a dancer in training myself -ballet, tap jazz, hiphopetc!. some little "excercises" i do to get me feeling the music just that lil bit more i go into my room chuck on some music and close my eyes and just move to the music!.!.!.!.!.go freestyle-not worrying bout technique or anyfing!.!.!.!.

umm a few moves that yooh may wanna consider are probably a few body rolls!.!.!.!. umm just swaying ur hips from side to side and depending on the music just jump up and down :P

hope this helped!.!.!.!. have funWww@QuestionHome@Com

Look on YouTube!.

Being self-conscious will make you even more self-conscious!. Don't try not to think about it, or you'll end up thinking about it even more!.

Just go out there and have fun!

I guess you just got to practice and find what kind of dance style fits you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i dance what i want, the way i want!.!.!.!.z!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

What you need to do is understand rhythm and beats!. The simplest way to put it is with each beat your foot should hit the bround with a step on the beat, not before or after!. Try clapping your hands and with each clap shift weight from one foot to the other stepping up and down!. For example, if you pick up your left foot your weight shifts to your right leg so that you don't fall right!? as well your left hip goes up, same with the other side!. Do this in front of a mirror!. Start out slow!. You don't need to pick up your feet high, only when your trying to get the hang of it (in your house) Oh and remember, the top of your body doesn't need to dance, or move really, so don't flail your arms around the only thing moving really should be your hips!. http://youtube!.com/watch!?v=LEL_AuUOl3s
You see how they just bend their knees (in the beggining)!? That is actually their feet lifting off the ground and stepping down to the beat!. It already looks like dancing doesn't it!? Hope this helps, Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
