so im part of my friends cotillion. a cotillion is a coming of age party. its when a girl celebrates their 18th birthday. so im part of her entourage. and we have to do 3 dances. the problem is, i suck!! im so not coordinated. but im trying my best to figure things out. the first dance is the waltz. oh my!! it seems so hard, but i dont want her to think i give up easily. so any advice for me?! thanks.

this my sound stupid... & it probably is :D but here's my advice:
- watch "Footloose". It'll get you giddy and inspired to try your best!
- play DDR or find any way that'll help you practice finding the beat to any song.
- dance in the mirror, or with a friend you will close with.
- be CONFIDENT! there's nothing worse than dancing like a freak of nature (not saying you do) with low confidence! it just looks stupid. Being confident will make you look like you know what you're doing, or at least like you're having fun!
- Good luck. I'm sorry if my advice was lame. But have fun @ the cotillion and PARTY HARDY!

Oh I know! I know! Eat tons of egg nog and within two hours, a wonderful fairy should come and visit you, asking you for a wish. Tell her you want to become a better dancer. And make sure you tell her, "No," when she mentions the pineapple and Hitler. wink.gif

Hm... Well, I am not a good dancer either. So sometimes I am in the same problem... You could either ask a friend for help, and go with the flow when you have to dance... pinch.gif

Just dance to the rhythm of the music. Practice infront of the mirror; or in your room. Maybe watch some dance videos; you could download some in Limewire. Trying downloading "Valenti Dance Steps - BoA"

i use to suck at dancing. but then i got more confident and instead of concentrating on the moves so hard, i have fun. and suprisingly, it makes you look better while dancing. enjoy the music, pretend you in a music video or soemthing.

Yeah DDR helps A LOT, of course alcohol could really losen you up and you'll dance your ass off cuz you won't care

* no I'm not endorsing underage drinking, but yeah it helps
Ok yeah I'm being stupid, anyways yeah just take note what other people are dancing to at the party, and watch a lot of music videos, you'll be learning in no time
practice makes perfect, and have confidence, if you dance like you can't people can tell.
