Srry this is a little late probably, but here's some tips for your next slow dance from my personal experience!. The first guy I danced with could NOT slow dance, at all!. He made the biggest mistake, putting his arms on my shoulders, not around my waist!. Pretty much, put your hands on the girl's WAIST (but don't clench on for dear life, just gently, loosely) and move to the music, that's really it!.!.!.!. good luck at your next dance :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Don't worry too much about it!. Almost nobody in school knows how, either!. You'll see people basically just hanging onto each other and swaying with the music, and that's better than not being on the floor at all!.
In theory, the best slow dancing is a social variation of the ballroom foxtrot!. The hold is similar, but closer, and it tends not to move around the floor like foxtrot (although it certainly can, if there's room)!.
The best hold for you to try is with your left hand holding her right, and your right hand either on her left shoulder blade or in the small of her back!. Your elbows, of course, can't be as wide as in ballroom, because of the crowded condition of the floor, but then it doesn't need to be, since you won't be doing any spins or dramatic turns!. She should be offset to your right a little bit, so if you were to take a step forward with your right foot, it would go between her feet!. A step forward with your left foot would go outside her right!. That way, you can avoid stepping on toes!.
The hold should be gentle, but try not to be floppy!. If you "keep your frame," the arms staying in position in relation to the body, then she'll be able to feel your movements and she'll move with you!.
As I noted above, most people just sway to the music, or take small steps side to side!. If you think about it, if you're standing with your weight on your right foot, then any motion you take has to be with the left foot, and it can only go one of three directions: forward, back, or to the side!. Just take small steps, and she should step with you naturally!. That's really all there is to it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

shes ur girl friend so!. dont be afraid to be close!. have fun with her!. hold her at her hips!. when the slow song comes on ask her if u can have this dance!? ( she will think its cute and make the slow dancing go alot smoother) dont just sway back and forth and some spins!. u need to lead her!. try dipping her a lil!. maybe singing the words to the song to lighten the mood if it uncomfortableWww@QuestionHome@Com

Hi u should not be afraid of what she will say she like you none the less!. U should not afraid to be close to her!. U should hold her tight and hold her close and never let her go unless she wants to be!. I was in the same boat awhile ago with my BF!.
Best of luck Www@QuestionHome@Com
