Wow. So I'm a freshman and I'm going to homecoming saturday. and I honestly feel completly screwed. I can NOT dance. And don't say I don't have to. I WANT TO! I told all these guys i'd dance with them. As in, grind. I don't know what to do. Pleaseee help. Please.
If you want to feel more secure about dancing before you go, practice practice practice. You can watch some dance moves or just get a feel for the beat of the music. If you have to stand in front of a mirror and watch yourself. The best tips for dancing is to not be stiff. Keep your motions loose and fluent. Try to not be nervous and stiff, dont make movements seemed forced in any way. Dont worry about looking like a professional dancer, just practice and have fun in front of the mirror before the dance. As far as slow dancing, do you have any female friends, or a guy friend that would help you out with that before the dance? If not its not to big of a deal, keep your eyes on him, move in the direction that he moves you. Dont worry about stepping on feet I think I still do that. Slow dancing is not that bad, my first dance with a guy, I had never slow danced before in my life, it came to me fairly quickly. I did step on his feet but he thought it was cute. He was also thrilled that he was my first real slow dance. It will be a good memmory just dont stress over wanting to be perfert or great at it. Have you seen some people dance? They look like they are having seizers LOL So no worries K you will do great!!!! I hope this helped have alot of fun and let me know what happens....
LOL_x0x answered Friday October 10 2008, 3:46 pm: First of, let me say that I was just like you! My homecoming was about 3 weeks ago, and I was SO nervous about the fact that I can NOT dance. And to make matters worse, my boyfriend [who I went to the dance with] loves to dance. My advice to you: is to just go with it. When somebody starts dancing with you, just follow their lead and do what they're doing. Don't think about it too much, just do what feels right.
Or you can be like me and tell your date/the person you're dancing with that you can't dance, and maybe if they're cool like my date, they'll help you out. And don't worry, you'll surly be a better dancer than me ;]
