Go out on the dancefloor with a friend who can dance [well] and follow her movements. Just move however feels right to the music. Sorry if this didn't help.

Just..dance. I don't really know how to explain it. I mean, you might not be able to dance just because you're self conscious about it. If you're REALLY worried about it, go in front of a mirror and just fool around a bit. :)

Do you have rhythm? Is that the problem?

I can't dance at all, laugh.gif I'm really good with dancing games though!

I don't have a problem with Rhythm either, I guess I never really found the point in dancing, I like standing and tapping my foot to the beat. Little odd, I know.

If you really want to know the secret and your friends can dance, why not get them to show you how? It could be fun too.

there really is no definate secret about it, its how ever the music and rhythem goes and how ever you feel like movin around and having fun at the same time go for it. nothings wrong with dancin like a goof cause you're not the only one. you may be just too self concious, relax its just movin your body to the beat, and you aren't the only one who feels this way, just takes time to get used to it esp if you are really shy, but once you can face the fear you'll have even more fun esp with your friends dancing along with you.

Listen to the music
Turn it up, let it go
Take it in until you feel it
Take control

I LOVE that song. throb.gif

Anyways..
Just move your body to the beat.
Maybe you should watch some music videos and try to imitate the moves.

lol secret? jus move to tha music but dont do any funky move or sumthin. what REEEAAALLLLLYY helps is watching music videos. you can also learn dances to certain songs by watching tha music video and then you wont look stupid when tha song goes on and everyone is walking it out pwahhaa.

Get with someone who REALLY knows how to dance (preferably a guy because it's easier to follow) and kind of... "feel" the music. don't try to do any specific or impressive moves. Just move in a way that feels natural.

most important body parts to use in my opinion: arms and hips.

And usually dancefloors are crowded so no one will notice if you dance funny tongue.gif

Practice in your room in front of the mirror, listening to all kinds of different music. Just flow with the song and dance however you feel like, then you can decide what you think looks best or is most comfortable for you. _smile.gif

I used to think I couldn't dance, until my friends dragged me onto the dancefloor at my schools Christmas Ball. We started immitating other people, just joking around, and screaming out the lyrics to the songs. I guess my problem was I was just uptight about it, and when I loosened up, I figured out I wasn't a horrible dancer. :D

So, just go with the floooww. Relaxx. Let the rythem take you to another plaaace. [sways back and forth] XDD

I was in your same exact state of mind and spot because I "thought" I couldn't dance. But theres really no exact way to do it, you just start moving a little here and there nothing too crazy haha. But you know what, when youre w/ your friends..its doesnt matter at all. So have a blast, do w/e you feel like or what the beat of the song is.

Dancing is pretty much my life.

A lot of these people have given you good advice--listen to the music, move your body to the rhythm, and try imitating a friend who's a good dancer.

My friends always told me to just move. So I did, & I felt very awkward about it. I probably looked awkward too. Therefore, I just don't go to very many parties where I know there will be dancing. Except for like, homecoming & prom. I can only dance with arrows. ^-^

I guess all you have to do is not care. As long as you're having a good time, what's it matter?

Thinking about it too much isn't so good.
I mean who's really going to pay close
attention to you besides your friends? (usually)

I don't know any fancy moves myself but I just dance
the way I want to and no one usually says a thing
because it's just my way of going about things.

So just be yourself and do whatever you want to the beat.
Enjoy yourself, there's no point in doing anything fancy while dancing
if you're not having fun!

Don't worry, I can't dance either. sad.gif I haven't ever really felt weird about it though or upset about it. I just accept thats its me and my personality.

Are you comfortable enough to go out there and just start dancing? Maybe thats your problem?

I have the same problem as you. This is what you do, find one of your friends that love to boogie and ask her to teach you! Or keep it simple by just moving your feet from side to side as well as your hips.

I think because you're shy you're more worried about how other people will see you, so you don't dance because you don't want to make a fool of yourself. Sometimes you just gotta let it go and forget anyone is looking at you.. thats what I do
