Question Posted Sunday September 24 2006, 12:21 pm
Okay, so homecoming is coming up and I know that there will be slow dancing. The problem is that I can NEVER slow dance. The last time I've slowdanced with guys I ended up just stopping and just stand there and talk..=/
It's just really awkward that you move around like a foot and not talk...erm so yeah.
1-What are good tips for slow dancing
2-Should I talk to get rid of the awkward silence ness or should i just keep quiet
3-Where the heck am I suppose to look cuz looking into their eyes sounds corny and is WEIRD.
Erm, anything you can give me advice on, I'll love oyu for it..literally
Berri answered Monday September 25 2006, 12:07 pm: haha I used to think about all that too. Um, if you know the guy on a friendly level or if you just met him at the dance, it's good to talk, because he's usually feeling pretty awkward too. If you just met him, ask him his name and basic questions like that to get to know him. If he's a friend, talk about whatever you two normally talk about or whatever you have in common.
If you're with a date or a guy you like, it's good to stay quiet and just enjoy the dance, especially if you both have feelings for each other.
And eye contact is good in all situations, whether you're talking or not. If you're dancing with a boyfriend though, you can lay your head on his shoulder while you dance. That can make the dance really special for the both of you. ..But it's even more romantic if you look into his eyes!!!
And don't feel awkward just shuffling your feet back and forth to the music. I know it feels weird and lame, but that's how they do it nowadays. So don't worry, you don't look any goofier than the rest of them. [ Berri's advice column | Ask Berri A Question ]

You're right that is really corny and weird. Just stay close, and yes do talk. Some good tips for dancing is just go with the flo. I know that is the corniest advice in the WORLD, but it really works. The first time I slow danced was with my first boyfriend, and it was at a party, but it was really fun once you got the hang of it, just try and make it fun.

Take his lead, if he starts talking to you, look in his eyes and talk to him like you would any other time. Don't force conversation though, because it might turn awkward.
If you guys aren't talking, Lay your head on his shoulder and just move with him.
There really isn't much to it, I promise. Just go with the flow. Don't just stop and talk. If anything, be quiet till the dance is over, and then just don't dance with them again, if its that awkward.
