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. =]

Lets see, just watch a couple videos on Hiphop dancing and watching your self in the mirror.

This is kinda what I do, although I don't use the exact moves that I see in the videos. I let my body move to the rhythm and try not to think about it too much.

So to reiterate what other people have said, find a song on the radio/cd/whatever and start dancing to get the feel of the beat. Also, watch yourself in the mirror and see what looks good to you. Or just get together with some friends and practice :). Maybe they can offer you tips.
