dancing dork

[apple]

ok seems im going clubbing

this weekend... honestly i havent been to a dance club in years o_O and even when i went normally it was gay bars

cause most of my friends were gay and i felt safer cause i wouldnt get hit on (well ok women hit on me but i just

admitted i was straight and they never pushed anything) /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I cant

dance! I mean maybe i can but i dont wanna feel like a fool. any serious sites for dancing tips? I dont wanna look

like a total ass... also i dunno what to wear. my friend tol me to wear my black mesh top (acctual metal mesh kinda

chainmail but not quite, its light and backless) with heeled black boots, a black mini skirt and fishnet

stockings... is this too slutty? or what? ahhh i feel like such a knob... i should have kept up my clubbing so id

know what to do /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

First of all what type

of dance club are you going to? What type of dancing is going to be there? In the clubs where the majority of the

people there are doing variations on the \"bump\'n\'grind\", it\'s all about attitude and originality. Do

whatever you feel like doing with the music that\'s playing and don\'t give a sh!t about what you\'re

dancin\' even though you\'ll cringe if your friends tape your dancin\' and show it to you later. You slip.

You fall. Well, hey you just created a new move! Done it myself plenty of times.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

For clubs that are feature swing, salsa, tango, or any other

partner dances it\'s more structured, but once you can do \"the basic\" that these dances are structured around

you\'ll do fine on the social floor (you might not be able to do \"flashy\" moves but those tend to require more

room that what you\'ll have on the social floor).

yup.

Put some music

on in your house, and dance in front of a mirror.

Once you have stopped laughing/crying, try again.

Keep

going until what you see doesn\'t embarrass you.

...and what was the link to that dance ideas site with \"The

Lawnmower\", \"The Sprinkler\" etc?? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

IMHO either you got that

natural rhythm...or you don\'t.

If you don\'t, then your only choice is to not worry about a damn thing, and

have fun with your goofy dancin self. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Even if you can\'t

dance you can still learn to impress your

date.

Do what I do...Don\'t

move your feet. Just kinda rock back and forth and side to side. And don\'t forget the butter churner. And swing

your arms around... but not to much. You don\'t want to knock anyone down. Or splash their drinks all over

themselves. That\'s a sure way to start trouble. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

When I was teaching, I used to tell my students to just put on some

boogie music at home, and let \'er rip. (In addition to practicing the exercises that I taught them &lt;g&gt;)



Just boogying for a period of time, every day that you can, will help you get fluid and teach you how to use

space. You will also become more graceful in your daily movements, and more confident. You\'ll be amazed at the

steps you come up with, by yourself.

If you want to get fancy... there are some aerobic dance vids and CDs with

club choreographies available. Some are done by rap groups, or professional dance troups. You can pick up some

simple steps that look GOOOOOOOOD.

You are a young, together woman, Apple. I suspect that yoru biggest obstacle

is that you just aren\'t comfortable, yet. I think you could be a BIG hit at the clubs.

Apple, anybody who uses both \'bumerino\' and

\'thankies\' in the same post is gonna be a dork on the dance floor.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif You can\'t help it. So just go out there and do your thing

and you will find out who your real friends are. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I love dancing...but I

hate it when I catch someone watching me...sometimes, sometimes I show off..normally when drunk of course

Chorophobia is Fear of

Dancing.
I doubt this is you though. It\'s chronic. If I relised dancing would be such a crucial social thing

when I was younger I might have tried it. As it is I\'m totally dogged by my fear.

heehee i had a blast

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif i looked uberly hot and i danced way better than most people

there, guess i was so scared of how i looked that i forgot most other people look WAYYYYYY worse *evil grin* the one

girl i went with looked like a fool o_O i didnt tell her tho, she was having fun

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif all i needed was a couple drinks to get my courrage up to do it

and then i realized i was over reacting in the first place

[bundyburger]

A lot of my mates

can dance when they aren\'t being too concious about it, but suck when they start thinking about what they are

doing.
A lot of people, I guess, aren\'t confident in letting there whole body dance around in crowds.
