Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
oh god.
dont listen to Ikari. but it is funny :D
go into a dance studio and see if they can give you some quick pointers. they helped me a little bit.
if not.. do you have any older siblings? my sister was happy when i asked her for help.
and when all else fails you could ask your parents.
watch “risky business”
oh yeah congrats on getting a girl for the dance.
lol well thanks for the jokes cuz it did make me laugh. but daft, i got a older brother thats 17, he wont help, just the person he is. i live with my mom, she wouldnt kno how to help and dance studio aint happenin. and to add 1 more thing, im the kid known for not liking basically any rap or hip hop which is wat they play at dances which would be weird for me to dance to.
yeh, she is my old neighbor, i moved not too far away recently and kinda out of no where it hit me where i like her i tihnk a little to much lol.
Watch Footloose!!
Do you know if you have any natural rythem? Mostly, just feel the music and move to it. Oh, watch Hitch too! You could take Will Smiths characters advice, or you can listen to the point of the movie and be yourself. Maybe your date can help you out. You have no idea how many guys I have taught to dance while AT a dance! So relax, an have fun!
wat did u teach them?
like the thing is, besides the stuff like soulja boy and stuff, i dont even kno any moves, or if there r moves to kno lol. to be dancin for a good amount of time without it being a joke i can only picture myself looking stupid.
UHHHHHHH guys…
1. he’s 15
2. i sure don’t ever want to see you guys dance
slow dance is easy, just put your hands on her hips or you can wrap your arms around her hips if you want to be closer… she’ll put her arms on your shoulders or around your neck.. depending on how close you guys are gonna dance… and then you just sway left and right… it’s really simple, you don’t really move your feet
like i said im fine with slow dancing cuz i did that b4 and yeh it was easy.im lookin forward to that. but the upbeat songs i normally sit and talk but i really dont wanna just sit, i wanna get out there and dance but i cant
oh didn’t catch that, do people at your school grind?
ima sophmore, this is my 1st dance im goin to at my skool. i would guess, lol u tell me cuz i havent been to too many dances for this very reason. if they did wat u would say
wat would u say*
yea in high school people start grinding
but i mean grinding is more intimate and if you just met this girl, idunno if i would suggest this but i mean, it really depends on what kind of girl she is
during upbeat songs, its better if you hang out with a several other couples, and to be honest, everyone looks like a fool, you just gotta be confident my man. you just gotta be like **** who cares what i look like as long as you and your date are having fun… move with the beat, sway your arms a bit, seriously, don’t be afraid to fool around, a dance is all about having fun
grinding on the other hand (i’m assuming you know what that is, if not ask me lol) is easier i guess, you both just kind sway together with the beat, not much to that
yeh i kno wat grinding is, never done it, and i would feel a bit awkward doin it, not cuz of the girl cuz of myself.
and for actual dancing, i need like visual help, i appreciate wat u sayin to me but cant really picture it, or picture it look normal lol
i did, if u can find a good video for me thatll be great, i couldnt find anythin of use
well, my first advice to you right now is confidence. girls love confidence, not cockiness. you just gotta man up and do it…
i’ll see if i can find anything on youtube for ya
yeh, im the kinda kid that will try to prepare but if all fails will just say F it and go for it. but i really like this girl and would rather not just go for it.
but when i say “just do it” i’m not nessecarily talking about the grinding, just like dancing to the upbeat music, just have some fun haha, i can’t seem to find any videos but worst comes to worst, just see what your friends/other people are doing
Here i found some tips of a website that might help you:
Realize that dancing is all about confidence. When you go out, remember you are there to have fun, and so is everyone else. No one is judging you on how you dance, and if they are then they probably aren’t the sort of people worth worrying about. If your esteem is low, your body language will reflect this, so go out there and have fun.
Watch other dancers. If you’re not sure how to dance to a song, take your cues from other dancers. You don’t want to copy them exactly (unless it’s a standardized dance), but you can get some ideas.
Lose yourself in the music. Let your body move naturally to the beats and rhythms. Dancing is about expressing yourself, but it’s not just about moving at random—it’s about expressing yourself through a particular song. Pay attention to the music and let it be your guide.
Improvise. To be perfectly honest, dancing isn’t really something that has to be learned; most people at the club just wing it. Be creative and have fun.
thanks tons man, ima keep lookin for a video cuz that seems like the best help i could get. but yeh ima basically go out there and just wing it. pray for me =P
haha alrite man, you’ll be fine, TRUST ME and more importantly TRUST YOURSELF =P let yourself go and i’m sure you’ll be lookin back on the dance rememberin how much fun you had
hopefully, this dance is basically the start of me and this girls relationship, i asked her to it to show im interested and ever since she said yes shes been more open to me so im not tryin to screw up.
if i screw up i blame u!!!
thanks again =)
ahahaha just be yourself, if she doesn’t like that, then sorry to say you two weren’t meant to be, good luck, let me know how it goes, send me a shout
