Dancing


Question Posted Monday August 23 2004, 11:49 pm

Okay...I know a lot of people ask what they should do if they're bad dancers and mostly they're told that they just need more confidence and that they can't be THAT bad. The thing is, I'm REALLY bad, and I'm not just saying it. There have been dances at my school and whenever I go I feel really stupid when I'm out there dancing because I know I suck at it. My boyfriend wanted to take me clubbing once and I had to make up an excuse because I didn't want to embarrass myself! Is there any way I can improve without taking classes? Or is it something that you sort of have to be a natural at? I don't want to have to avoid dancing situations forever! (okay, I'll stop with the drama) Anyway, any advice would help. Thanks!

It depends on what kind of bad dancer you are. you may not move your hips enough. It's a common problem. And if that's not it and you're a bad dancer because you don't go with the rhythm then you have to practice listening to the back beat of the song and not the words. That's initially the part of the song you want to move your body to.

Ok, I think that u should just turn up ur favorite dance song at home and start jammin to it. Listen to the beat and think about it for a while and once u get the beat in ur head, start movin ur feet to the rythim. Trust me it helps alot.

Hope that i helped u!!!

I know this is still taking classes but if you have a friend who's a good dancer you could ask them like to privately help you on dancing.You shouldnt feel embarrassed though, dont feel bad because i really really suck at dancing too.It's alright ot laugh at yourself every once and a while.hope i helped.

The simplest and cheapest way to improve your dancing is to watch music videos and try to learn their dance moves. Don't just copy them though, you have to really pay attention to how their body's move in time with the music. When you practice, crank the music up really loud, so you can really feel the music. Also practice dancing in front of a mirror, so you can see how your body moves. Once you get more comfortable with the music and your body, you will have no problem dancing in public.

Dancing is my favorite thing to do in tha world. I love it, I think im good at it. I have taken dance classes in tha past, for years. Whenever music comes on I just dance, lol, it might sound stupid but it makes me better. I go to clubs ALL tha time n just dance away. Try it, it works :) Hope I helped. xOx

It comes naturally for some people but at the right time, just like i went to a teen night and all of the sudden i could dance and i also learned off of other people too. It is true you need confidence. and one of my friends tried this, they asked me (one of their closest friends) and they danced in front of me and i told them if they were good or not, this sounds kinda cheesy but you gatta feel thhe beat or else even if you are a od dancer, you are gonna suck,and also ask someone you trust not to tell and ask them if they can teach yo how to dance cuz i bet you they will feel realli cool doin that....good luck

It pretty much has to come naturally but not neccessarily. I used to hate dancing because I would feel so dumb doing it but when you look around everyone else looks the same as you they just aren't as worried about it! Watch your friends dancing and copy them. Or even a stranger .. just someone around you. It really isnt as hard as you make it out to be in your head, but if you never feel comfortable doing it don't worry about it there's plenty of other things to do than go dancing. And dances can be fun even without dancing! **Kacie**

Haha, I can't dance either. Its nothing to be ashamed about, some people have it, some people dont. You can try to buy some videos that will teach you some steps. Or purchase some books about dancing. I for one can't, nor will I ever again dance to a song with a higher than slow tempo. Unless its with the person I love, then I wont care if I look like a doofus.
