How to Dance at Prom NIght, I need help Options

[sarahjung]

Well, I'm a junior in high school and I still don't know how to dance. I just transferred in from a private school last year, where dances weren't allowed. I actually went to my Junior Prom last Saturday, and I think I made a fool of myself. I was awkward, uncomfortable, and had no moves at all.

Yeahhh..I think I need some tips on how to dance.

The problem with me is that I'm extremely self-conscious and I don't like to embarrass myself. It's a bad quality and I wish I wasn't like that, but I am. I wish I could just have fun and be myself, but it's a lot harder for me than it sounds.

I got asked to go to Senior Ball which is on May 13. I have to learn how to dance by then! I don't really have the money to pay for lessons and my friends just laugh at me. If you have any advice or tips, pleeease tell me.

Thank you. =]

lol! yeah im kinda having the same problem except slightly different. like, I dance fine at normal dances.. aka hip-hop/whatever, but I'm kinda scared of dancing normally in a PROM dress.. are you supposed to just ballroom dance with your date or something at prom? noo idea.

hm to address the original post (lol), if you wanna dance to hip-hop and stuff.. iono, watch MTV some and pick up some stuff that way, what I do is put the music on in my room and dance around all you need is practice, really. watching yourself in the mirror helps. im sure there are videos on google video of people dancing?

if you want normal dancing lessons, there are usually places that have free dance classes on certain days. check around! =]

Pop, lock, bboy, n freestyling = hip-hop

Rubbing hips in a repetitive motion for a whole song =/= dancing

Grinding = rubbing hips in a repetitive motion for a whole song

Thus, grinding =/= dancing

Just wanted to clarify.

And you SHOULD dance hip-hop at Prom because they will play hip-hop songs anyway.

It looks awesome and original if you do it in high heels and a dress with all prettied up hair.
