Advice for a Guy to Dance!!

[markwombat]

Hey Everyone,

I'm after as much advice to learn how to dance as possible! I find "feeling the beat" difficult since I don't know what I'm listening for! and also have been told I can't dance.

I know practise will make me better, but right now I'm not practising the right thing so need to know some basics before working on improvements.

Has anyone else ever had trouble dancing, if so how'd you get on?

Thanks in advance everyone

I stopped caring about what other people thought about something so irrelevant. you've either got it, or you don't - and if you don't, get drunk and wave your arms about like a mad-man.

Dance classes are your friend. If you feel you need to ACTUALLY dance. You don't dance in clubs, you just make an ass out of yourself whilst drunk.

As soon as you have the basics, it matters not what type of music you are listening to, as you have an ear for rhythm.

What sort of dancing are you talking about? 'Real' dancing or club dancing? If club dancing you really just need to get out there and watch what other people do and get on with it... at least thats what i do, then again i don't know whether or not i look like an idiot, i just enjoy myself!

Agreed, once you have the basics, its all about confidence. Dancing is about having fun!

Watch the dance scene in Napoleon Dynamite. Take notes, repeat, perform.

 

[Ripper]

Just disregard everyone around you and have a blast, thats my advice.

Club dancing is what I'm after...

Grab. Grind, repeat until girl doesn't run away, Score

Or just stand with one hand in the air and the drinking with the other in the middle of a crowded club and girls will flock up to you

You forgot to mention Hawaiian attire

Watch Footloose

It's all fun and games till you get hit with the rape charge.

Haha Rich you are a one man problem and solution when it comes to me in clubs. Problem: I hate it when I see blokes who just go around putting their arm round random girls or dancing too close so I quite often try to get the guys like that to move away by bumping into them or talking to the girl. Solution: If the guy gets a bit aggro with me I offer the high five and they usually chill out!

What's it got to do with you? Whether a random guy and girl are dancing together?

Girls like dancing with guys too you know...

Unless the girl is making gestures to you, i.e. "Save me" - leave them be.

Racist, but in the good way.

Just go to dance classes. I learnt to Salsa ages ago with my sister, and whilst that may have been an embarrassing hobby which I kept hidden from everyone, I can now Salsa. And so now I go to Salsa once a month, and can dance.

Believe me, its worth it. A class of 30 people, 2-3 guys, and a competent dancer? The ladies love it.
