Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
you put your hands on his shoulders or arms around his neck while he puts his around ur waist!. then you just kinda sway back and forth (side to side, rather)Www@QuestionHome@Com

That's OK!. He probably doesn't know what he's doing, either!.
Slow dancing belongs in the same family of dances as foxtrot, two step, and one step!. You need to be able to feel which foot he's standing on and move when he does!. That may sound hard, but if you just relax, it really isn't hard at all!.
The best hold is something like the ballroom hold (if you've watched "Dancing with the Stars") but not so wide!. He may offer you his left hand, in which case you take it in your right hand!. His right hand should go on your left shoulder blade or the small of your back!. That's the hold that gives you the best communication, and it puts you in a position that's a little offset, each a little to the left of the other, so you won't step on each others' toes!. Most people don't know that, or if they do, they don't care, so all sorts of variations in hold occur, and you'll just have to do something that seems comfortable!.
If he's standing with his weight over his right foot, you should be standing with your weight on your left!. When his weight is on his right, then he's going to move or shift weight to the left foot!. It can't go many directions: he's either going to shift weight to the left without moving it, or he can move forwards, back, or to the side!. There aren't any other options, so there's not much for you to feel, and you just go with him!. Most kids your age and older don't actually move much or at all, and you may just shift weight from one foot to the other through the whole dance without moving at all, but even if he moves, you'll find it fairly easy to move with him!. Just relax and enjoy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Just to warn you he may/might get an erection that you'll feel against you!.!.!.doesn't necessairly mean he wants to sleep with you!.!.!.it does mean that you/your motion excites him!. Don't be alarmed by it and don't say anything about it!. Just sway to the music and put your arms round his neck/waist!. If you don't care to get too close than just do the Arms up on one side or the other and hands at waists!.!.!.otherwise!.!.!.HAVE FUN and don't do anything stupid!. PEACE!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think the advice about just putting your arms around the neck and swaying side to side is good!. I would like to add that you should not be worried!. I would bet my house that he knows just as little about slow dancing as you!.

You will both work it out together!. Have a great time at the dance!Www@QuestionHome@Com
