dance tips? Options

[SpedMonkee]

ok ima be blunt here, lol.

my girl wants me to go to my school dance with her, im not exactly excited about it. i live in boston and go to pretty much a black school (im white and not being racist). i dont excatly know, or like, the way that they will be dancing (the kind where it looks like they are almost humping each other, lol) i think that they will be playing mostly hip-hop and maybe a little regge.

does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to dance? and what should i wear to something like that?

[xhiddenemotion]

don`t try acting too wigger (lol) cuz girls really dont like wiggers all too much (wel i don`t.) maybe wear a lil ecko` or south pole, baggier pants maybe? [again] dont overdo it. if you need dance help, don`t really dance. just kinda stand with your girl and if she wants you to dance just kinda move a bit. i don`t know. thats the best i could offer you, sorry.

[SpedMonkee]

well my girl has already warned me that she loves to dance, and that if im not dancing with her she will dance with other guys. and i dont own any ecko or southpole lol

[twelveislands]

Clothes you can move around in and fabric that 'breathes' so you don't get sweaty too fast or something. And for dancing don't be too floppy or too stiff unless they tell ya to do something that requires them. Try not to be out of time either

[whhaat]

if that school allows you guys to get durrty ... then juss go behind her back ... sway back and forth and let her do the dancin

Haha. Yup. Dance like crazy if they let you get dirty. Maybe sag your pants a little so when you dance, you only have to move a little bit. Or, just dance like you're at the club, that's what I usually do.

[SpedMonkee]

but what ive never been to a club, hell ive never even danced before lol

[starlette]

um..watch the movie hitch. Dont make an ass of yourself please. Just act natural and have fun. You dont have do dance like you are having sex on the dancefloor to have a good time. I hate when people dance like that with me. ITs gross. ugh. Just be yourself and dont take yourself too seriously. Trying to hard will always get you in trouble.

just move to the beat of the music. you know how 50 cent is all like " i do the same 2 step with a little twist." that's all dancing really is. you take two steps and you move your body to the beat of a music. i don't think your girl will care if you look like a dork as long as you dance with her.

oh... have you told your g/f that you don't dance a lot. tell her and i think she'll be willing to help you out, especially if she really wants you to dance.

ive told her, but she hasnt really done much about it. she told me to ask my friends, but none of them dance, lol. and she has told me that she would teach me, but never followed up on it..

if you try to come off as dancing "black" and your a white girl people will notice and laugh. Just listen to the music. Pay close attention to the beat and let your body flow. thats as simple as i can explain it. Do not try to hard. No need to impress anybody and if your not comfortable dancing then dont, dont let anyone pressure you to do anything you dont want to do

[MeanBastard]

Imagine porn, with cloths on. Thats what you should do.

[fameONE]

Ok, first you rock side to side with the beat. Then you begin to pulsate through your torso. Raise your right arm and begin to poplock. After gliding in a circular motion (like Usher or, better yet, Turbo) begin to uprock. Switch it up a bit and top rock to gain some momentum. Once you're feeling pretty good, drop to the ground and bust out a six step. After two rotations, begin to swipe with one leg, then two, then alternate your right and left legs. End this showmanship of 'freshness' with an L-Kick pose. Stand up, and stare your girl down.

Sorry, I guess I can never give up being a bboy

[KELLYYY]

I stole some moves from music videos.
- The move that Usher did in "Yeah!".
- 1,2 step by Ciara.

Erm, can't think of any right now.

Those videos are a medium to spread those dances. I think its cool and I love every minute of it. Back when the Harlem Shake (dreadful, dreadful dance) was brought to the public's attention by Eve's 'Whos that Girl' and P. Diddy's 'Special Delivery' videos, I identified and learned the dances right away. With each new video, new dances are introduced and, quitefrankly, its all good.

However, unless you've been beaten into the LA-based street gang, don't Crip Walk.

Yeah, haha. Just don't dance like you're.. gangster-ish(is that a word?).

^Is it me or do I feel like I'm stalking you? O_O

  Harlem Shake (dreadful, dreadful dance)

oh god, i hate the harlem shake, i want to choke the person who came up with that ugly dance

[pinayprincess]

grind

[fameONE]

No, I just feel like we're using CreateBlog as an instant message medium.

As for dancing gangster-ish? The only 'gangster' dance I can think of is the Crip Walk. Like I said, unless you are one, don't do it.

[*nightmare4taki*]

Where Im from we do the heel~toe. Its like the big down here in the South. I learned how to do it from going to the club and observing others. I do all the gangsta dances including the crip walk unless Im clubbin then I do absolutely nothing gangsta because if you dont roll deep you get jumped. As far as the hip-hop music go up to the DJ and say I want techno.

I can heel-toe and in-toe and do variations of it.

Theres this new dance called the Hooka Hooka and its this summer's Harlem Shake.

Yeah there r many variations of the heel~toe. I can do like two different ones. As far as the hooka hooka I can't do it but when the song came on at a party recently everyone was doing it.

[SpedMonkee]

lol ur all scaring me with all these exact names and things, lol

[teeners4]

ever seen hitch?

just kind of bounce. dont attempt to do anything stupid



haha jkjk~ i dont know just DANCE. but dont do any moves that might offend them

[SpedMonkee]

does anyone know of any music videos, or any video at all, that might help me out here?

[kryzcoak47luv666]

dude just watch BET for 3 hours, you'll be juking it in no time
yeah I was gonna suggest 1,2 step

*no offense on the BET thing, think it will help tho

Just don't get wigga with it tho, you'll be asking for trouble
don't feel bad I dunno how to dance either....

[misoshiru]

um..watch the movie hitch.  Dont make an ass of yourself please.  Just act natural and have fun.  You dont have do dance like you are having sex on the dancefloor to have a good time. I hate when people dance like that with me.  ITs gross. ugh.  Just be yourself and dont take yourself too seriously.  Trying to hard will always get you in trouble.

hahah. yeah, watch hitch. just move with the beat.

[someflipguy]

eh! Just be yourself, if you cant dance just bounce.

*heel toes away*

[fameONE]

Slow dancing, on the other hand will make or break you. Anyone can b/s their way through a bunch of bouncing and head bopping with some snapping (assuming you have rhythm) but if you lose on the slwo dance, you lose on the date.

Step from side to side on every downbeat.

[lilliannnn]

i like wiggers.



but yeah, just grip her hips from behind and move to the beat. press your body into hers.. it's all good.
i love it. <3

[cHuNsAbAbIe012]

just go with the beat of the music. so wat if ur bad at it? at least ur doing it. ur trying rite? jsut dont try to hard. everyone isnt a great at everything the first time. u can practice at home n try to club dance or booty dance or some shit. turn on progressive n club songs n just go with the beat. not so hard.

[nevernothere]

i dont excatly know, or like, the way that they will be dancing (the kind where it looks like they are almost humping each other, lol) i think that they will be playing mostly hip-hop and maybe a little regge.

I don't understand... I go to a 95% white school... and ALL of our dances are like that.... c'mon man, don't knock grinding and doggy style 'til you've tried it.... lol even though I really don't like that kinda music... but whatever.

[pingpang_0811]

feel the beat and move ur body naturally.
maybe watch more movie abt dance to c how they dance.

[YaWeaveIzOnFiyah]

DO NOT..i repeat DO NOT attempt a dance move you do not know...if you don`t know how to dance and don`t want her dancin' with somebody else then watch some BET like kryz said..lol just move w/ the sonq but don`t do the robot, lol. Or that other dance where you brinq your leq up..Heel toe is definite if you can do it well

[177emories]

go with the flow.... when you get older you'll wnat to go clubbing seriously... and you'll wnat to know how to dance by then... just act cool liek you kno what your doing, watc the others... black/white ppl dance differently? keke

[SpedMonkee]

i didnt go the other time, but i just got home from my military ball, and id like to thank all of u who helped me out lol.
