learning to dance

i really need to. i was at a graduation party earlier tonight and all these beautiful hispanic girls were dancing (not grinding, but real dancing). i felt like an idiot just standing there watching, and i did want to go out and dance and shit, but man i just dont have the balls being a normal white guy who cant dance for shit. they asked me if i wanted to dance and all, but i just couldnt go. i knew id make an idiot of myself.

bottom line is, i really need to learn to dance

 

ballroom or latin dancing is what you want. there are schools, and some post secondary places (like my uni) have classes organized through them

 

i have the whitest dance moves ever but i do it in a funny way so girls like it lol!
just b yourself and dont even think about what your doing just dance

 

i know what you mean about not caring about what other people think and just doing whatever. im like that in almost any other situation. dancing is the only real exception

 

Just tune into your fav music and dance to that. Do this as often as u can so u can get the practice.
You can get lessons but realize that ballroom and latin is not all there is, unless u really like the music (which is kinda dated).
Taking a ballroom class is not necessarily gonna give u the moves you need for the particular places you wanna go.
You are most likely to go to clubs, etc that plays the music you like so learn to dance to that. Do u really wanna dance to music u don't care for, consider this when taking the type of dance lessons.

For lessons consider hip-hop. Even if u don't like hip-hop music u can adapt it to other popular and modern music.
Not many ppl dance ballroom nowadays and is more for dance enthusiasts, so if u learn to lead in salsa ur likely to find girls who don't know the dance, unless there are alot of hispanics in your area which sounds like there is. But do you like the music yourself.

 

oh and one more thing, dance in front of a full length mirror so u can get the feedback to improve your moves.

Don't guys know how much girls LUV to dance. At so many night clubs I see most of the ppl dancing are girls while the men watch by the sidelines. Yet guys complain how hard it is to meet women and that they go to all the bars and don't see enough girls there, yadda yadda yadda. Well, girls don't really go to bars, not in great numbers anyways, they go clubbing, ya know, girls just wanna have fun.

One effective way to impress females is to look good dancing. So take this advice seriously and start practicing.
It's a fun way to stay/get in shape too.

 

Fuck dancing,pick up a guitar...You'll get ten times more chicks than being a faggot ass dancing queen.

 

Just friggin dance, man.

And the only reason someone becomes a faggot ass dancing queen is when someone deems them rightly so. You sah, are rightly deemed for such, merely food for the phishes.

Frankly, I think an Abba induction would be well deserved.

Good tidings.

 

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA. i remember this idiot who used to serenade our neighbor. he had no idea what a cheesy bastard he was. whenever we see someone trying to look all emo we get a giggle.

anyway, the basice truth of dancing is that it turns women the hell on. it's like a mating ritual, you see it all over the natural world. the nice thing about it is that you can find someone through visual cues that matches the way you move, the way you express. women are more physically inclined than we've taught ourselves to believe. formal style dancing is sexy to women because it's a protocal in which you can safely allow your body to be controlled by a man without taking your clothes off or committing to more. you can get a feel for whether or not you will be physically compatible.

 

I'm talking about getting good at the guitar and forming a band,not being some tool playing a guitar outside of some chicks house.

 

oh, it was painful to watch. i like good music, as much as anyone with half an ear does. sometimes when these guys are trying to impress girls and bring out their cheesy guitar and emo songs, i just cringe. i have to walk away.

 

Yeah man, like George said... just dance.

Just let go, that's about it.

If you want to learn some "professional" dancing... find a girl, get a salsa DVD, and practice. I practiced salsa with a friend in college, and man... we got some badass moves down... we'd go to parties and rock the dance floor.

 

Jesus fucking christ. Guys are so cute.

 

mamaKCita speaks the truth
an experienced dance instructor dance the waltz w/ me and I wasn't even that experienced in the dance. Boy oh boy what a turn on. We danced so close and it was so bold a dance, not stodgy at all as may be many ppl's impression. It took all my might to not gush or something (ours were a professional relationship)... IT WAS HOT HOT HOT.

Guitarists come a dime a dozen, I feel I am mostly there to give them encouragement, support and I tell them what they wanna hear "aww that's really good", but come a good dancer, now that's a novelty no girl wants to pass up on.

 

no doubt.

 

MorningMusicManiac, I agree %100.
I play the bass. I've found there's nothing in the world that's a better chick-magnet than a musical instrument. And the girls that love musicians are a better sort of girls than the rest of them.

 

to me, a man who can really dance or really sing is incredibly hot. guitarists, eh, there are tons around here and while most are passably good, only the exceptional/amazing/astounding ones gain hotness points. the rest get the whoel oh-youre-under-30-and-play-the-guitar-how-novel kind of a shrug off. for me at least

funny about kc's theory on dancing/physical intimacy potential. one o fmy exs was in ballroom dance and dancing with him was always excpetionally awkward, but dancing with his friend (that same night, and who had been taking dance for less time) flowed much more naturally... mind you the second guy was also much more patient

 

Dancing is for queers.

No woman is worth your dignity.

 

Yes guitarist are a dime a dozen,but good bass players and drummers aren't!

Theres no way a guy who goes to clubs and dances to pick up chicks,gets more than a guy in band.Just no fucking way!

 

not everyone can bea musician. some people are just completley lacking in talent. dancing, however, is different. i don't mean professional dancing, i mean the basics, are far more attainable than musical talent.
