How to casually dance at a party

How to Dance at a Club or Party

You probably know people who can dance at a club without a second thought.

They just go out, have a few drinks, get down on the dance floor, and have a great night.

Meanwhile, you're seized by panic and insecurity just thinking about dancing at a club.

And whenever you do drag yourself out, you stay glued to the wall and watch everyone else let loose on the dance floor.

But guess what? Those awkward feels are completely normal. And we PROMISE you can overcome them!

Follow these 5 simple steps and never worry about feeling left out again.

‍

1. Find the beat/rhythm as you make your way towards the dance floor

Don't expect yourself to bust out a Step Up routine out of nowhere as soon as you step foot on the dance floor.

This isn't a movie! Start small – really small – by just bobbing your head to the beat.

Do this before you even get on the dance floor. Think of it this way: Music is the one thing that lubricates the whole experience of being at the club.

It sets the mood as soon as you walk in until the moment you walk out. You have to be comfortable with the music first.

‍So start interacting with the music right away. You can listen and nod your head a you're holding your drink, hanging with a friend, or even sitting down.

This is an easy way to set yourself up for success on the dance floor before you even start dancing.

Your body will already have a handle on the rhythm, so you're more likely to stay on beat by the time you do get your feet steppin'.

Watch this video to learn how to find and count beats in music:

2. Start with a small bounce / groove

Once you're on, or around, the dance floor, start bouncing with your whole body.

Think of this bounce as a bigger version of your head bob. You're still moving to that same rhythm, but now with your knees, core, and chest.

You know how a baby bounces on his knees when he hears a song he likes? Like that, but not as jolt-y.

Ease into those bounces calmly, then slowly build up your energy. This helps make your dancing look more natural.

Carlo Darang describes what a bounce / groove is in this video:

3. Learn simple steps

Got a handle on the music? Great.

Started bouncing with your body? Check. Now, let's get your feet moving!

But wait – you won't know which foot to step where without any practice.

So learn a few basic dance steps before you go to dance at a club.

This video will teach you how to do 3 basic dance moves that work with any song:

4. Let loose

Now that you've got the basics of dance down, it's time to put on a few finishing touches to make sure you look comfortable and confident with every move.

These quick tips will help you refine your dancing so you look more loose, groovy, and comfortable:

‍

5. Join the party

By this point, you've got a handle on dancing 1. on beat 2. with your whole body 3. using steps.

But you didn't come to dance at a club to do all this alone!

Once you have that base, dance with the people around you.

If you're in a crowd or a group of friends, then you can play off of their movements and energy.

Mimic the moves your friends are doing, lip sync with them, rap Nicki's entire verse in Motor Sport from memory.

And if the DJ or song lyrics tell you to do something (like put your hands up or jump), then do it!

These are little things you can't predict or practice – remember that you're out to have fun, not to play DDR in your head.

Grinding (or whatever you call it) on someone is its own topic – but whether you're dancing with one person or a whole group of people, the most important thing to do is to... Stay in rhythm!

You and your partner or friends could be doing totally different things. They could be jumping while you're pumping your arms.

She could be swaying side to side as you're 2-stepping.

But as long as you're moving to the same beat, it'll still feel like you're dancing together.

(The closer you physically get, though, the more similar you want your movements to be so that you don't end up hitting each other or creating friction between your moves. Dance with them!)

---

I hope these tips help you kiss those insecurities goodbye!

Follow these 5 steps and you'll realize that it's possible, and actually quite easy, to dance at a club.

You just need the right resources, some practice, and a dash of confidence. ;)

Have fun!

How to Dance At A Basic "Good Enough" Level

- Chris MacLeod, MSW

It's hard to avoid dancing entirely in social situations, especially when you're younger. Arguably, everyone should at least become passable at it. It's not as hard to pick up the basics as you may think, and it's smoother sailing once you can join some friends who want to dance and hold your own.

You don't have to reach a particularly high standard

You just need to be good enough that you can get on the dance floor, blend in with everyone else, not look like an idiot, and not feel overly uncomfortable while you're there. (Lots of people are at least somewhat awkward about dancing. That's why they have to down a few drinks and wait for the dance floor to get busy before they step out on it.)

You don't have to look like someone out of a music video. You've just got to be decent enough to get by. Being better than the minimum never hurts of course, but just knowing the basics will put you way ahead of all the non-dancers out there.

If you're straight, try not to worry too much about what the opposite sex thinks. They don't have ultra-picky standards

Straight people don't purely dance to impress the opposite sex, but it is often something they think about.

For guys

Generalization time. Women and men have different ideas of what a good dancer is. Guys often see dancing as a skill to show off. Being better than other dudes on the dance floor is important to them. Their typical image of a "good dancer" is a gymnastic break dancer doing a bunch of flips, or a guy doing a fancy, fluid Popping & Locking routine. A woman's concept of a good dancer is a closer to a passably moving guy who looks comfortable, confident, and like he's having fun.

When a woman wants to dance with you, all she really wants is that...

You are there with her
You are dancing with her
You are not dancing horribly
You are not being too forward and creepy

For women

This totally sounds like a simplistic stereotype, but most of the time when you're dancing with a guy he's not making a detailed critique of your style. He's probably just thinking, "Yay! I'm dancing with a woman!" Or if he's watching you dance from farther away, he's likely thinking, "She seems like someone I might want to talk to. I wonder if she'd shoot me down though..." Even if he seems like the most genuinely suave, confident guy ever, he's probably still thinking like that on some level. He's probably fifty times more worried about how his dancing looks to you than the other way around. Even he's an amazing dancer and you're not, he likely isn't holding it against you.

(That was from my observations as a straight guy. I'm not gay so I won't try to write from their perspective, but I can't imagine their standards for dance partners are radically different.)

Try not to worry too much about what strangers think

Easier said than done, but don't use up too much mental energy fretting about how random bystanders are judging you. Occasionally people will snicker and point to people who are dancing because they're really just too nervous to do it themselves. Random dudes sucking on their beer aren't your audience. Also, like the point above mentioned, your average dancer is more preoccupied with how they look than anything.

If there's one thing to keep in mind it's to be toned-down and low key

Don't be a spaz and try to pull off some fancy moves unless you 100% know you'll look good doing them. It's better to reel yourself in. Over reaching and flailing around is worse than blending in and being a bit boring and unoriginal. Don't feel you have to pull off tons of new moves every second and put on a show for everyone either. It's okay to dance in a simple, repetitive way and just enjoy your friends' company.

Acquire a basic, reliable dancing 'core'

You know when you're watching a movie or TV show and there's a scene set in a dance club, how the extras in the background will often to be dancing in a kind of simple, nondescript way? That's the 'core' I'm talking about. If you know how to do that, then in a lot of situations that's actually all you need. However, if you want, you can later choose to build off your base and make your style more fancy.

To get that core stand in front of a mirror with some not-too-fast music on, or just read along and imagine you're doing the following:

To dance you've got to move your body in time to the beat of the music. The most basic newbie mistake you can make is to move out of sync with the beat. Don't know the beat I'm referring to? Put on a song and listen for the underlying, repeating thump-thump-thump pattern. Every style of music has a different speed. It doesn't take much practice to learn how to hear it.
Okay, you're just standing there in front of the mirror with some song playing. Now try moving your arms back and forth to the beat slightly, while keeping your legs ramrod straight. You'll notice that looks totally off. So the next most basic thing you've got to do is bounce up and down on your knees. So keep everything else still, and just move your knees up and down to the music.
That still looks weird, since you're just going up and down like a piston. So rotate your torso a bit in time with your knee movements, a little like you're skiing. Keep your torso fairly loose and relaxed.
That's looking better, but your arms are still stiffly hanging at your side. So try relaxing them a bit and let them swing up and down with your knee bends and torso rotations.

Once you're standing in one spot, bouncing on your knees, turning your torso a bit, and moving your arms somewhat, that's about the absolute bare minimum you can do to be considered dancing. Like I said, sometimes that's all you need. If you didn't know how to dance at all, and stopped right here, that's a lot better than nothing.

However, while still staying in the realm of dancing in a super generic 'core' way, you can do little things to spice up the bare minimum:

Don't just limply swing your arms, get your shoulders into it.
Take steps side to side, or back and forth.
Mix up your arm movements.
Nod your head.
Do little pivots or twists on one foot, or both feet.
Don't just slightly rotate your torso, move it back and forth, or from one side to the other.
Pick up one foot ever so slightly, then the other, to kind of march in place. Don't overdo the movement and look like a robot, just move your feet a tad.
Mix up the possible arm, torso, and leg variations. Find a combination that looks good and do it for a while, then switch to another one. Don't change things up to the point where you're doing something new every half a second. That looks too scattered.

At this point you're hardly going to win a dance competition, but you're at the level of those movie extras, and 75% of the people you'll see out at a bar. At this point you really could develop no further in your dancing ability and be able to get by on a dance floor for the rest of your life.

The thing with this basic core is that it's pretty adaptable to the standard kinds of music you'll come across. If you're dancing to Hip Hop, just make all your movements a little more Hip Hop-ish. If you're dancing to retro 80's Pop, just make all your moves a little more cheesy and energetic.

Add some more fancy moves and sequences onto your core if you want to

If you dance in a basic way you'll get by, but you won't stand out a ton. If you want to look a little slicker you can start adding in some canned movements, or sequences of moves. There's more of a Risk/Reward thing going on at this stage. You've got to work at it more as well. Dancing generically is safer and easier. If you try to pull off some awesome routine and bungle the execution you'll look clueless or goofy. You need to practice to make sure you look good. Some places to learn new moves are:

By watching strangers dancing at a club and stealing ideas from them.
By watching your friends dance.
By watching movies or music videos.
Through online video tutorials.
Through dancing-oriented video games.
By experimenting and trying to come up with some moves of your own.
By taking an actual class.

The best way to learn is to just practice

If you get into the habit of dancing around at home in the spare moments you're listening to music it won't be long before you start to get the hang of things. After that the more time you put in, the more you'll refine your style.

Get in front of a mirror, put some good music on, and start dancing to it in the basic way I mentioned above. Remember, if your instinct is to jump around a lot or be a bit spazzy, consciously tone yourself down. Try to get comfortable with the typical, boring way of dancing first. A lot of the time on actual dance floors you won't have that much room anyway, so if you only practice moves that requires a lot of space you'll be put in an awkward spot when you end up somewhere more packed.

One way to deliberately practice is to try working on one aspect of dancing at a time, then putting the pieces together. This may not look good in the moment, but it'll let you concentrate on and isolate certain aspects of how you move. So you might keep everything else fairly still, and only try out different arm movements, or ways of moving your torso. Or you could try different ways of stepping back and forth, or moving only one leg at a time.

Practice different dancing scenarios

Aside from figuring out how to move your body, there are different situations you'll find yourself dancing under:

Dancing on a dance floor where you have a lot of room

This is the easiest as you have all the space you need, and you can do somewhat more showy stuff if you feel like it. Sometimes the ocean of space can feel like too much to work with or make you feel exposed and self-conscious though.

Dancing on a crowded dance floor

Here your movements are really restricted. When you're practicing make sure to keep your feet rooted to the ground and don't swing your arms out too much. Try to make your movements look good anyway.

Dancing close and face to face with someone else

The issue here is knocking knees and not being able to extend your arms too far in front of you. Try dancing really close to a wall to get an idea of what it's like. Or you can try dancing really close to a full length mirror. It's totally goofy looking, but it's still a good way to get used to the feeling of being near someone.

Dancing with a partner

Here I'm referring to partner dancing in an informal, improvised way, not doing a specific dance like the Tango. Of course this is something that you can't practice on your own super effectively. Still, you could put your hands out in front of you like you're holding someone's waist or shoulders and practice moving within that restriction. I don't blame you if you don't want to do this. It's definitely a bit silly. Still, if the idea of dancing with someone makes you uncomfortable, practicing like this can take the edge off.

More practical advice would be to take a salsa, swing, or ballroom dancing class, asking your friends to teach you to dance, or practicing with your partner, if you're seeing someone. If it doesn't make you anxious, you could even try going to a club and trying to dance with someone you meet there.

Non-verbal communication is important as well

Body language plays a role in dancing too. It would look strange if someone was dancing to a 70's funk song with the mannerisms and facial expressions of someone listening to 90's Gangsta Rap. You don't want to be too exaggerated or hammy with your body language, but it is something to subtly bring into the equation. The other basic thing about body language is that sometimes the difference between someone who looks good and so-so on the dance floor is their non-verbals. If someone looks uncomfortable and bored, they may come across as dancing poorly. The same movements with some energy and confidence can look fine.

Dancing is a physical activity

Simple tip here. The better shape you're in, the easier dancing will be. You'll be able to do more, have more energy, and keep at it for longer. Basic things like aerobic fitness, flexibility, and some endurance in your legs and torso help.

Dancing to an unfamiliar style

For the poppy dance music you most typically hear in bars and clubs you can usually get away with dancing in the generic style I outlined earlier. Though if you've ever been to a club that caters to a different scene you'll know other genres of music have their own types of dancing.

If you're in one of these places, it's not the end of the world if you go ahead and dance the usual generic way, and just try to make your movements conform somewhat to that subculture's style. You won't fit in perfectly, but no one is going to run you out of the joint. However, if you're interested in dancing to that type of music more in the future, it's obvious that you'd want to try to learn its more specialized moves.

A semi-warning about dance classes

Without a doubt you'll learn a lot if you a take a class, but sometimes people get a shock when they then go to a club and have to dance spontaneously. They can't just start swing dancing or bust out a 14-step choreographed Hip Hop routine. There are people who have taken years of dance classes, but they're inhibited when it comes to dancing at clubs. They feel lost, put on the spot, and like they're expected to perform.

Dancing badly on purpose

I think there's a good time and a bad time to dance in a poor or silly way as a joke. The bad time to do it is when you're not comfortable or experienced with dancing, and you dance like goofball to avoid having to do it for real. People tend to see through this, and any humor that comes out of it only has a shelf life of a minute or so.

The good time to do it is when you're with some friends, you all know how to dance properly, and you just throw in the occasional campy movement or routine as a way to joke around and have more fun. It comes off well in this situation because everyone realizes you're doing it because you choose to, not because you're trying to hide how ill at ease you feel.

Drinking to loosen yourself up

Lots of people need to get some alcohol in them before they feel confident enough to hit the dance floor. In a perfect world everyone would feel comfortable dancing stone cold sober, but realistically some of us need a little extra help. Within reason I think this is fine.

When alcohol tends to be helpful is when someone knows how to dance half-decently, but are just a smidgen reserved - most people basically. When drinking tends to backfire is when someone doesn't really know how to dance, and never tries unless they're totally hammered. The results can be pretty sloppy. Things can also get embarrassing if someone is just learning how to dance and is inclined to be spazzy. The alcohol tends to bring those tendencies to the surface.

In conclusion

This is a trite thing to say, but despite everything you've just read, you should just enjoy yourself and not over analyze things. Have fun and don't worry about what other people think of you. Blah Blah Blah. The end.

How to dance in a club, at a disco for a guy - let's start with simple movements

You can very well become the king of the dance floor, and we will help you with this!

Shot from the film "Pulp Fiction"

How can a guy dance in a disco and not look like a jerk? An urgent question, because it’s embarrassing to shift from foot to foot in a club (or even sit at the bar all evening) - it sucks, and somehow I don’t want to take dance lessons specifically for this occasion.

If you are shy about dancing in a club, don't worry! Everyone can move to the beat. Let's learn some basic moves, learn the main rules of how to look cool and natural, and also what you definitely shouldn't do.

How to dance in a club for a guy: 4 useful tips

Shot from the movie "Kickboxer"

Let's face it, most guys on the dance floor bite their lips, look down and seem nervous, scared or embarrassed. So even if for some reason you don’t dance, but you feel calm, relaxed and enjoy the music and what is happening around, this already makes you more attractive.

And here are four more tips on how to look natural and at ease on the dance floor, even if you have never been the king of disco. By the way, these tips are also suitable for how to dance at a corporate party for a man.

1. Find your own style

Before going to a club, try turning on some music at home. Let your body naturally begin to make any movement it wants. Just do not limit yourself to one composition, set yourself several songs in a row at once, and each time add some new movement, moving to the beat.

2. Assess the situation

When you're in a club, look around the dancers to feel their vibe. Before heading to the dance floor, you can make a circle around the club to look around and listen to the music. Getting used to the environment a little will make you more comfortable, it will reduce the nervousness you may feel. Also, check where people are just walking and talking.

3. Feel the rhythm

Listen to music to catch the beat. Instead of focusing on how to move, take the time to listen to the song that's playing and pay attention to the rhythm. Once you have found the rhythm, start bobbing your head to the beat of the music. This search will help you when you start dancing. If you find it difficult to find a rhythm, watch people dancing. Most of them will move to the rhythm.

4. Relax and flow in!

Shot from the movie "Everyone Can Dance 2"

Find yourself a place on the dance floor and have fun. It does not matter whether it is the edge or the very center - it is important that you feel as comfortable as possible there. Let yourself just move to the beat. If you're a little shy, try copying other people's dance moves.

How to dance a guy in a disco: 4 simple moves

There are a great many types of dance techniques, and if you get a taste, then even without attending special dance courses, you can constantly replenish the treasury of your movements with the help of various training videos, which are in abundance on YouTube.

But it will be a little later, but for now we will start with the simplest and most basic techniques that will help you dance beautifully and relaxed both in a club and at a corporate party or at a friend's wedding.

1. Basic leg movement

Step to the side with one foot, and then bring it back with a sliding motion. Before both of your legs are together again, bend your knee and lean forward slightly, then straighten up with a slight springy motion and tap your foot. It should look something like this:

Here and further video How to Dance - For Men, youtube.com

2. Basic body movement

Bend your knees and move your body slightly back and forth to the beat of the music. The second part of this technique involves turning on toes from right to left. Combine both movements and perform on the count of "one and two."

3. Basic arm movement

So, we figured out the legs, but what to do with the hands? The easiest option is to raise and lower your arms in turn, bent at the elbow. While one goes up, the other goes down and vice versa. And yes, we do it simultaneously with the steps from the previous tricks.

4. Alternate arm movement

Bend your arms again at the elbow and hold at chest level. We lead our hands towards each other so that they cross, and then we take them back. And again, and again. Don't forget to combine with leg movement.

How to slow dance with a girl? 6 easy steps

You see the most beautiful girl in the club and you dream of dancing with her, but at the same time you don’t want to spoil everything and embarrass yourself or her. Don't worry, here are some tips on how to dance with a girl at a party.

Step 1: Ask her to dance

Don't go crazy and don't set yourself up for rejection, just calmly say the elementary: "Do you want to dance?" If she says "No" don't get upset and don't insist. Just say: "Ok, maybe another time" or something like that.

If she says "Yes" just smile and take her to the dance floor. Introduce yourself. You don't want her to have no idea who she was dancing with!

Step 2: Start dancing

Frame from the film "Revolutionary Road"

Follow the music and everyone else. Some girls like to be held by the hand, so you can try it (if she doesn't want to, don't insist). Hold her hand gently and do not squeeze. And yes, we hope you understand perfectly well that it is wrong and disrespectful to dissolve your hands. Behave with dignity and try not to step on her feet.

Step 3: Talk to her

It is not necessary to dance in complete silence, especially if you feel uncomfortable about it. Ask her questions like: "What's your favorite song?" , but keep talking to a minimum - she might not be able to hear you over the music. Do not ask personal questions so as not to put you in an awkward situation. However, asking a girl for a phone number would be quite appropriate if you plan to invite her on a date.

Step 4: When the dance is over, say something

If it was a slow dance, thank her. If it's a casual dance at a party or club, then say it was fun and smile. After that, you can invite the girl to continue talking at the bar, but be prepared for the fact that she may refuse.

Three rules of dance floor etiquette (yes, there is one)

1. Don't push

Try to have a good time while dancing, but don't go overboard with your moves. Do not forget that you are not alone on the dance floor and do not interfere with other dancers. Accidentally hurting someone is an almost inevitable situation, especially if there are a lot of people in the club, but if this is repeated over and over again, your neighbors will be unpleasant, they may get angry, and the evening will no longer be relaxed and relaxed.

2. Walk around the edge of the dance floor

Walk around the dance floor, not across it. If you walk through the middle of the dance floor, you will interfere with people's dancing and you may accidentally bump into someone. Stick to the outer edge so as not to spoil anyone's fun. Also, you may end up spilling your drink while walking through the crowd of people pushing you and it will be unpleasant.

3. Control how much you drink

Keep alcohol intoxication under control. Of course, you came to a nightclub to have fun, and if for this you need to drink a cocktail or two, then do it, but do not forget about the measure. Drunk people are uncoordinated, and you don't want to be that dude who falls in the middle of the dance floor or starts doing wild things? So drink just enough so that you have fun, but your body still obeys you perfectly.

learning to dance at home How to learn to dance in a club correctly

Queens and kings of the dance floor are much more likely to succeed in love than those who behave stiffly, twitchy or even prefer to sit on the sidelines during dances.

If you often visit nightclubs, parties and other dance events, it is worth improving your ability to move your body, figure out how to dance in a disco, so that it is beautiful and spectacular.

There are many ways to learn cool dance steps. Choose any.

Some people are born with the ability to move beautifully, while others have to master dance moves in order not to look stupid at the disco.

But every person can learn to dance.

a) How beautiful is it to dance in a disco? Without certainty!

Do you know what is the most important thing in non-professional dancing? Not the skill with which you perform this or that movement, not plasticity, not grace. All of the above, of course, does not hurt, but something else is more important.

The most important thing is the confidence with which you move on the dance floor. If you are sure that you dance perfectly, then others will believe in it.

Oksana was not a very skilled dancer. As a child, her mother gave the girl to dance, but there she was branded “unsuitable”, because Ksyusha could not dance well.
The girl was not upset because she never dreamed of becoming a dancer. In addition, in the dance school, she gained something that later helped her become the queen of the local disco - self-confidence.
There were girls who moved much better, but none of them radiated such magnetism. From each wave of Oksana's hand, a strong conviction radiated: she is luxurious.
Naturally, there was no end to the guys.

If you are, then even slightly funny and angular movements will be recognized as perfect by others.

Who said that the way you do it is wrong. Or maybe that's where the charm lies? Or maybe you will become the founder of a new dance fashion?

b) 7 useful tips for those who want to learn how to dance in a disco.

I would say that the easiest way to learn to dance is to hear the music and make simple movements with your arms and legs to the beat.

Don't over complicate things. The easier you move, the less likely you are to make a mistake and expose yourself to public ridicule. The main thing is that you manage to move to the beat, so it’s worth working on a sense of rhythm and an ear for music.

Here are some more useful tips for those who want to learn how to dance beautifully in a disco:

Watch the people around you on the dance floor.

Select those people who dance beautifully and memorize their movements. At home, in front of the mirror, try to repeat what you saw. Don't stop until it looks good.

Play your favorite dance songs.

If the disco you visit is not club music, but simpler dance hits, and often the same ones, download them for yourself and start dancing to this music at home.

Learn to move, you can dance beautifully everywhere.

More practice.

You don't have to pay a coach to dance. Just use any free minute for practice. Do you wash dishes? Dance. Vacuuming?

Imagine that the vacuum cleaner is your dance partner. Dance music should be your constant companion.

Get your signature moves.

You should have several moves that you can perform that will elicit an enthusiastic response.

It's up to you to decide what kind of movements it will be. You can choose something modern, for example, a pas from hip-hop or locking, or you can go through the classics, having mastered, for example, the “moonwalk”.

Don't try to be better than you are.

Being yourself means doing everything harmoniously. No need to try too hard, in your movements carelessness and some kind of impressiveness should be read.

You are at a disco, not at school, which means that you should dance from the heart, and not trying to score.

Ask to be assessed from outside.

Ask a friend to watch you dance and point out your mistakes. Better yet, record you on video so you can see for yourself what else needs to be worked on.

Only record your friend when you don't know about it, so that you behave naturally.

Love to dance.

As soon as we sincerely begin to like what we do, we begin to succeed. Love to dance, count the hours until you can start moving to the music.

This will help you learn to move beautifully and naturally.

How to dance at the disco girls and boys?

There is a difference between boys and girls dancing. What is beautiful for the beautiful half of humanity looks ridiculous for the strong and vice versa.

If your goal is to dance beautifully, and not just to amuse the people, then remember that you should show your femininity or masculinity.

1. How to dance in a disco for a guy?

Guys have the most problems with dancing beautifully. This happens because boys:

are shy;
are more restricted in their movements;
they have to master both fast dances and acquire the ability to lead their partner in slow dances.

Any guy, even one who has problems with the sense of rhythm, can learn to dance beautifully and spectacularly, but you will have to try and get acquainted with some secrets.

No.	Secret	Explanation
1.	Naturalness	There is no worse guy who: tries too hard and is too active on the dance floor; remain wooden because they are afraid to make a mistake; constantly repeat the same movement. All these mistakes can be corrected only if you relax and practice often.
2.	Perfected movements	Remember how you started doing some work, even if it was around the house. At first, it didn’t work out or it turned out badly, and then, the more repetitions there were, the more natural and refined your movements became. It's the same with dancing.
3.	Masculinity	Whether you dance fast or slow, you must remain a man. Don't dance like a snotty girl, a bad stripper, or a little boy.

If something doesn't work out with fast dancing, then every man should master the "slow dances". How else to meet girls at discos?

You must lead your partner, not she you.
Move smoothly, barely stepping over your feet. It is not necessary during a slow dance to shake your partner like a tree from which you want to knock down the fruits, and run, grabbing her in an armful, all over the dance floor.
Don't allow yourself too much, especially with a girl you don't know: your hands should be on her waist, not below, and you shouldn't press her too close to you. Remain a gentleman.
Listen to your partner. If a girl fidgets in your hands, then you are doing something wrong. Maybe they squeezed her waist too tight, maybe too “fast” to a slow song. React to her body language.
who was invited. There is no need to look around the room with a bored look. The songs are usually short and you don't have much time to get to know each other.

Everything else is simple: listen to music, move your feet to the beat and don't bump into other couples.

Also, if the music is not too loud, it's better not to be silent during the slowdown, but to communicate with the girl you like and at least from time to time look into her eyes, and not at, uh, breasts.

A shot from the film "Pulp Fiction"

How can a guy dance at a disco without looking like a jerk? An urgent question, because it’s embarrassing to shift from foot to foot (or even sit at the bar all evening) - it sucks, and somehow you don’t want to take dance lessons specifically for this occasion.

If you're shy about dancing in a club, don't worry! Everyone can move to the beat. Let's learn some basic moves, learn the main rules of how to look cool and natural, and also what you definitely shouldn't do.

Well, let's go?

Still from the movie "Kickboxer"

Let's face it, most guys on the dance floor bite their lips, look down and seem nervous, scared or embarrassed. So even if for some reason you do not dance, but you feel calm, relaxed and enjoy the music and what is happening around, this already makes you more attractive.

Here are four more tips on how to look natural and relaxed on the dance floor, even if you have never been the king of disco. By the way, these tips are also suitable for how a man dances at a corporate party.

1. Find your own style

Try playing some music at home before going to a club. Let your body naturally begin to make any movement it wants. Just do not limit yourself to one composition, set yourself several songs in a row at once, and each time add some new movement, moving to the beat.

2. Assess the environment

When you're in a club, look around the dancers to feel their vibe. Before heading to the dance floor, you can circle around the club to look around and listen to the music. Getting used to the surroundings a little will make you more comfortable, it will reduce the nervousness you may feel. Also, check where people are just walking and talking.

3. Feel the rhythm

Listen to music to catch the rhythm. Instead of focusing on how to move, take the time to listen to the song that's playing and pay attention to the rhythm. Once you've found the rhythm, start bobbing your head to the beat of the music. This search will help you when you start dancing. If you're having a hard time finding the rhythm, watch the people dancing. Most of them will move to the rhythm.

4. Relax and pour in!

1. Basic leg movement

Step aside with one foot and then bring it back with a sliding motion. Before both of your legs are together again, bend your knee and lean forward slightly, then straighten up with a slight springy motion and tap your foot. It should look something like this:0005

2. Basic body movement

Bend your knees and move your torso slightly back and forth to the beat of the music. The second part of this technique involves turning on toes from right to left. Combine both movements and perform at the expense of "one and two."

3. Basic movement of the arms

So, we have dealt with the legs, but what to do with the arms? The easiest option is to raise and lower your arms in turn, bent at the elbow. While one goes up, the other goes down and vice versa. And yes, we do this at the same time as the steps from the previous tricks.

4. Alternate arm movement

Bend the elbows again and hold them at chest level. We lead our hands towards each other so that they cross, and then we take them back. And again, and again. Don't forget to combine with the leg movement.

How to slow dance with a girl? 6 Easy Steps

You see the most beautiful girl in the club and dream of dancing with her, but embarrassing yourself or her. Don't worry: here are some tips on how to dance with a girl at a party.

Step 1: Ask her to dance

Don't go crazy and set yourself up for rejection, just calmly say the simplest thing: "Do you want to dance?" If she says "No" , don't get upset and don't insist. Just say: "Ok, maybe another time" or something like that.

If she says "Yes" just smile and take her to the dance floor. Introduce yourself. You don't want her to have no idea who she was dancing with!

Step 2: Start dancing

Scene from Revolutionary Road

Follow the music and everyone else. Some girls like to be held by the hand, so you can try it (if she doesn't want to, don't insist). Hold her hand gently and don't squeeze. And yes, we hope you understand perfectly well that dissolving your hands is wrong and disrespectful. Behave with dignity and try not to step on her feet.

Step 3: Talk to her

You don't have to dance in complete silence, especially if you feel uncomfortable about it. Ask her questions like: "What's your favorite song?" , but keep talking to a minimum - she may not hear you because of the music. Don't ask personal questions to avoid embarrassment. However, asking the girl for her phone number is fine if you are planning

Step 4: When the dance is over, say something

If it was a slow dance, thank her. If it's a casual dance at a party or club, then say it was fun and smile. After that, you can invite the girl to continue chatting at the bar, but be prepared for the fact that she may refuse.

Three rules of dance floor etiquette (yes, there is one)

1. Don't push

Try to have a good time while dancing, but don't go overboard with your moves. Do not forget that you are not alone on the dance floor and do not interfere with other dancers. Accidentally hurting someone is almost inevitable, especially if the club is very crowded, but if this is repeated over and over again, your neighbors will be unpleasant, they may get angry, and the evening will no longer be relaxed and relaxed.

2. Walk around the edge of the dance floor

Walk around the dance floor, not across it. If you walk through the middle of the dance floor, you will interfere with people's dancing and you may accidentally bump into someone. Stick to the outer edge so you don't spoil anyone's fun. Also, you may end up spilling your drink while walking through the crowd of people pushing you and it will be unpleasant.

3. Control the amount of alcohol you drink

Keep alcohol intoxication under control. Of course, you came to a nightclub to have fun, and if for this you need to drink a cocktail or two, then do it, but do not forget about the measure. Drunk people are uncoordinated, and you don't want to be that dude who falls in the middle of the dance floor or starts doing wild things, do you? So drink just enough so that you have fun, but your body still obeys you perfectly.

People who are seriously interested in learning how to dance in a club are hard not to be envious. The search for the answer to the question is a weighty proof of free time, which they spend a lot of fun.

A good dance is based on a musical composition. In any city there are a huge number of nightclubs. Pops in them sounds occasionally, in the first place is electronic music. Many do not know how to move the body when an electronic musical composition is playing. They sit at a table and drink liquor in anticipation of a suitable motive.

There are two ways to solve the problem. The first involves changing one's own attitude to the music played in clubs. The second suggests finding a nightclub where the DJ works according to the wishes of the crowd.

Modern club youth, contrary to their loyalty to popular musical styles, enthusiastically welcomes retro sets and intelligently reworked pop.

DJs strive to satisfy the wishes of young people, and administrators worry about the attendance of establishments. Finding a nightclub with the right music is easy. But, another question arises - “how to dance to it”?

Step by step action plan

Get started with popular club music. Download some songs and listen for a few days. The player will help. Accompany the audition with dancing. Let it sound when you work or communicate.
You will have a few favorite works and determine your own direction. If you want to move while the music is playing, do it for pleasure. You can't force yourself.
Then move on to more active actions. Visit a nightclub and take a closer look at the dance floor. Surely, there is a dancer on it, whose movements will appeal to you. It remains to adopt them imperceptibly.
After such an outing, pay special attention to homework. At home, carefully work out the movements borrowed from an experienced dancer. Try to improvise, because the character and atmosphere of the dance depends on the DJ and the dancers.
In time you will learn to dance well. If this seems not enough, sign up for a dance school and take your skills to the next level.

You will achieve great success in the club if you loosen up and feel how to control your own body. Sometimes a person is not given to become a dancer. I think there are only a few. Almost every nightclub lover can conquer the pinnacle of club dancing.

Many guys want to learn how to dance cool in clubs because they don't want to look ridiculous in front of their friends. Even people who occasionally drop into nightclubs dance perfectly if they follow the rules.

Club dances are varied, it is not difficult to find the right style that will make you look decent on the dance floor.

You can bring originality and originality to the style by successfully combining elements of various dances.

Professional dance schools

Lessons in the direction you choose yourself will teach you how to dance, meet people, help you lose a few pounds, improve your physical health and have fun.
Constant training will teach you to relax, make your movements free and uninhibited. If there was stiffness and constraint, such ballast will pass.
Choose your school carefully. If you like a certain option, be sure to attend a free class, inspect the dance hall and chat with the teachers.
You won't be able to dance professionally right away. It will take no more than ten lessons to prepare for dancing at the disco. Just repeat the movements learned in the lesson at home.

Home workouts for guys

If you don't have time for dance school, train at home. In terms of effectiveness, homeschooling is slightly worse. The main thing is the desire to learn to dance.
There are a wide variety of instructional videos on the Internet that will teach you the secrets of professional dancers.
While exercising at home, constantly look at yourself in the mirror to control your movements and make them perfect. Home training alone is not enough; constant practice on a real site will be required.

Lesson for beginners

How a guy should behave in a club

If you are in a club, try to relax. Don't think that dancing will be unfashionable. Release emotions and have fun. It will turn out to move beautifully if the movements are relaxed and confident.
Listen to the rhythm on the dance floor. Strive to match his movements. Improvise. If you constantly dance in a pattern, it will quickly get boring.
Only a person with a flexible body and excellent plasticity dances beautifully. Keep fit by exercising and exercising.

With the help of simple recommendations, any guy can quickly learn to dance. If you manage to put your soul into the dance, the fair sex will surely shower you with admiring glances. A beautiful dance will help you get to know your body and get to know the inner world.

Club dances are striking in their variety. They help girls make contact with guys, which often leads to the beginning of a romantic relationship. Some fashionistas try to stand out from the crowd with the help of dancing, moving attractively and gracefully.

Let's imagine that you are in a beautiful nightclub. You are sitting at a table, drinking tequila, your favorite musical composition starts playing. Under the influence of incomprehensible forces, you slowly rise and move towards the dance floor. What's next?

Listen carefully to the rhythm. If you manage to imbue them, the dance will turn out elegant and graceful. A person who is out of rhythm brings disharmony to the site.
Get rid of uncertainty and relax. Uninhibited movements look beautiful. During the dance, have fun without stuffing your head with thoughts.
The first movements are always slow. In the first measure, do not swing your arms, such movements are very tiring. By the middle of the dance program, you will be tired.
When dancing, it is not recommended to shoot with your eyes to the sides. In nightclubs, use this weapon with care.
Do not copy the movements of other dancers. Dare to improvise, make the movements original and unique.

I will add that only girls with a flexible and plastic body can move beautifully. If everyday life is not very active, at work you have to sit at the table for hours, the body's reaction to going to the club can be unpredictable. It's easy to avoid this. Do morning exercises daily and follow a healthy lifestyle.

Based on personal experience, I would like to note that girls behave more relaxed and free on the dance floor. Sometimes there are shy people. If you are one of them, enroll in a dance school. By attending classes, under the guidance of a teacher, you will get rid of complexes and free your body.

Benefits of dancing

Today's video tutorials are a little unusual, as they are designed exclusively for guys. Although the girls will find in them useful information for reflection.

Instructor Alex Kornilov will teach you club dance lessons for guys, so watch and listen carefully. Most men think they know how to dance in a disco and behave very relaxed, sometimes even too much. Others, on the contrary, are shy and are always concerned about not seeming ridiculous. Both behaviors are unnecessary extremes. In fact, to become your own in any company, to feel confident in a disco, while causing admiration, and not irritation among girls, is quite real. And only three aspects will help you in this: technicality, a sense of rhythm and energy. The first aspect is developed by methodical repetition of movements. Spend at least half an hour dancing every day. Soon angular and unusual movements will look harmonious and natural. It is also very important to feel the rhythm. Listen to music and let it pass through you. Let it sound in you as often as possible. Move and live to the rhythm of the music. And most importantly, put energy into your dance. Technically perfected, but "dead" movements will not please you or those around you. In general, watch club dance lessons for guys and learn how to dance in a disco to become the king of the dance floor.

Club dances are an unusual mixture of many dance styles, corresponding to a nuclear cocktail of musical trends.

If all you have to do to feel natural is just look at the video reports and you will never feel out of place again. If club dancing attracts you from a professional point of view, then it is better to contact a dance school.
