How to dance at a wedding for guys
How to Dance at a Wedding (Crash Course for Guys!)
By brian
Are you this guy at the wedding?
Do you make 4-5 escapes to the bathroom every hour just so you can avoid the dance floor?
Do you try to strike up awkward conversations with other guys at the bar just so you can kill time — and not have to dance?
If so, I know how you feel!
Before I learned how to dance, whenever I received an invitation to a wedding, this would be my immediate thought:
“Oh jeez, there’s gonna be music.. and dancing! How can I get around it…?”
Instead of seeing these parties as time for celebration, I would see them as 5 hours of MISERY! NO FUN!
Here’s the good news:
If you have a wedding event coming up in a few weeks, and you need to learn how to dance.. FAST, then this guide will show you how you can avoid being the table-hugger, and how to join in on the fun!
Kicking things off, here are the. .
Key #1: People don’t care that you don’t dance well, they just really want you to JOIN THEM
If you’re sitting there at the table on your own, you’re actually a BIGGER target for being pointed out for being a BAD DANCER! The ladies love to drag guys onto the dance floor, and if you’re not already on the dance floor, then you’re going to be a sitting duck!
The truth is that nobody cares that you dance “well”, they just want you to join them on the dance floor.
I know what you’re thinking though..
“I would love to join in, but when I step onto the dance floor, my feet just freeze!”
“I’ve tried to learn some dance moves, but it feels really awkward!”
I get it! And this is where the second key comes into play:
Key #2: To learn how to dance fast — you need to learn less, and do MORE
Most guys try to learn too many dance moves at once (and learn the WRONG dance moves). This is why dancing feels awkward and most guys never end up getting a hang of the skill.
In reality, it’s better to be able to do just a FEW dance moves well, rather than to know many dance moves, but not being able to do any of them properly.
To demonstrate what I mean, check out this short tutorial where I show you 2 basic dance moves:
Take a look at how these 2 dance moves make up a casual freestyle:
Now you see how it works, give these dance moves a try to these popular songs that you usually hear at weddings:
Hip Hop
R&B
Pop music
Other popular wedding songs
Congrats! You’ve just gone through the “How to dance casually at a wedding” crash course!
If you have an event coming up soon, and you need to master these dance moves fast, then check the 7-Day Dance Floor Crash Course System. It’s the fastest, easiest way for the common guy with no previous dance experience to learn how to dance!

It doesn’t take much to see that a person who can dance is attractive to the opposite sex, and usually has more dates as a result of his dancing abilities.
According to a study from Rutgers University, dancing is attractive because of the bodily symmetry it displays — something that’s sought in a mate.
Regardless of why we like those who are able to dance, it clearly marks a disadvantage for those who can’t. If you have two left feet, you are well aware of the challenges faced at a social outing to a dance club or a wedding reception.
Have no fear; dancing, like most other things, can be learned. Although we probably can’t turn you into a candidate for Dancing with the Stars, you can learn how to appear confident — and competent — on a dance floor. Check out the four easy dancing steps below. Just note that when you give your new dancing moves a try for the first time, do it on a dance floor that’s already full — that way it’ll be harder for anyone to single you out.
step 1
Watch and learn
Sit out the first few dances on any given night and, without being creepy, watch the simple moves people use and the confidence they emit.
Consider this your first dancing lesson. Watch a few different people and connect with the steps you feel the most comfortable doing. As you watch, you’ll find most people aren’t really doing anything too complicated, which makes this a prime opportunity to learn some basics from those dancing around you; you should pay special attention to partners. Go easy and take it slow, but be sure to improve your moves by mimicking others. This way, when you actually try getting out on the dance floor, you’ll have some idea of what you want to do.
Having ideas before you go out will help you feel more confident, and nothing is sexier than confidence. Just don’t try anything too complicated and remember to dance at a skill level that’s appropriate for you.
step 2
Do a shot
Although alcohol is not the ideal way to obtain a confidence boost, it is often the quickest way to help you man up. Doing a shot or two with your friends at the bar will help you to feel less conspicuous when you embark on your dancing journey, so you’ll be able to focus on what you’re doing rather than worrying and feeling tense.
If there’s one thing that’s true about dancing, it’s that the looser you are, the better you’ll look.
One word of warning: This tip is not a license to get smashed. Do not, under any circumstances, get too drunk before you decide to try out your new dancing moves. It is important to remember that your dancing does not improve with more drinks — only your perception of it does. If you drink too much, you will think you’re doing a great job out there, and only succeed in looking very silly. This tip, like most things, must be practiced in moderation in order to be successful.
We have two more steps to help you with your dancing abilities…

| How to dance beautifully for a wedding? Tips for the bride and groomA wedding for a guy and a girl is always a serious step into the future, and for relatives and friends it is a reason to congratulate a new family on the start of family life. And every couple really wants to make a good impression on all the guests. They do their best to make this day memorable for a long time. Today you can practically not bother about how to organize and hold a wedding. After all, there are a lot of agencies around that have been conducting such events for a long time and for every taste and color. How to dance at a wedding for young people and guestsAs you know, this is one of the parts of the celebration. Even many shy "copies" after a few glasses of champagne or shots of vodka already feel like their feet are dancing. But the most important dance of the evening is the first dance of the young. And how every young couple wants to hear applause and praise in their address after such a dance. Therefore, it is important to choose the right song, learn the dance very well, and then impress all the guests with your skill. A few tips:
If the first dance is a waltz, then it turns out that you force the guests to start with a waltz and so on. If your couple are dancers, then there may still be an exception for you. After all, such dances require special preparation, and only newlyweds will be prepared from all those present. And if you are doing a wedding with a thematic scenario, then the first dance is selected based on your theme. The best thing at a wedding, as well as at any holiday, is to alternate slow dances with cheerful and incendiary ones. Competitions for guestsBut still, it is important not to forget about the guests. So, we present to your attention several interesting dance competitions for guests: Journey in a train Participants dance in a train, holding each other by the waist or shoulders. But from time to time you need to change compositions. In order to continue “riding” in the train, everyone needs to dance to the music playing at the moment. This can include folk songs, music for lezginka, etc. The main thing is to take it on camera so that there is something to remember. Mop Dance You will need an odd number of guests and a mop. At the beginning, everyone is divided into pairs, and someone dances with a mop. Such dances will not let the guests get bored, they will make the holiday incendiary. The main thing is to choose the right music and approach this issue with a bit of imagination. Topsy-turvy Participants can be any number of people - most importantly in pairs (man and woman). The competition is for couples to dance with their backs to each other. It is important for this competition that the music be well-known and playful : polka, lambada, rock and roll, cha-cha-cha, waltz. The winners are selected by voting from those whose couple has not broken up before the end of the competition. Dances of the peoples of the world Five couples are selected for the competition. Several folk dances must be prepared, and each couple dances as they imagine it in their own way, a unique dance will turn out. Winners are determined by voting. The participants of such competitions will be lucky twice, they will have fun participating in the program and after, when they look at their performances in the video, which we strongly advise you to order from video filming professionals. Dance competitions are one of the faithful and reliable assistants at weddings in order for guests to get to know each other in a relaxed atmosphere and have fun from the heart. Have a good dance evening!

A Simple Guide to 10 Traditional Ballroom Dances If you're interested in ballroom dancing but don't know where to start, there's only one place to start: dance lessons for beginners at Fred Astaire Dance Studios. Waltz This is the dance most often thought of when someone mentions ballroom dancing. That's 28 beats per minute in 3/4 of the time, and it can be quite romantic. Tango Ballroom tango is different from Argentine tango. It has a time signature of 2/4 and it is 32 beats per minute. While ballroom tango can certainly be romantic, the best way to describe this popular dance is "sensual." Foxtrot This is an all American jazz dance set that can be fast or slow depending on the band. Quickstep This dance is inspired by the foxtrot but has a much faster tempo, hence the name. Viennese Waltz As soon as the 3/4 music starts, the ballroom studio will light up with the fast and passionate flow of this "old school" waltz. International Latin Samba A cheerful dance that is used in competitions, but as the national dance of Brazil, it is solo. Cha-cha This flirtatious dance can be seen as a slow mamba. A lot of hip movement will be involved. Rumba Rumba is considered by many to be the most passionate and romantic dance on this list. This is incredibly difficult and involves many different hip movements. Jive A spicy swing dance to big band music in which the man leads and the women encourage the men to ask them to dance. Paso Doble A man dances like a bull and a woman dances like a bullfighter. If you would like to take an adult ballroom dance class, consider these options. Whatever grabs your attention or tickles your imagination, why not give it a try? The philosophy of Fred Astaire Dance Studios is simple and clear: ballroom dancing should always be fun!

NUMBER 1 - YOUR PAST. Don't let the past control your PRESENT or your FUTURE. Whatever happens, you have to let go. Leave the darkness of your past behind so that it doesn't obscure the light of your bright future. Remove this weight from your back to free yourself. Don't let the events of the past that are now gone ruin this moment that is perfect - this moment that is now to be enjoyed, that is ready for you to FULLY LIVE. Your past is not equal to your future. Don't let other people's opinions and judgments determine the direction of your life. The need to fit in and feel needed can motivate you to go down a path you don't want to go down. Pleasing people is a curse to be avoided at all costs. Before doing anything, ask yourself: am I doing this because I want to do it? ...or because of my fear of being judged by others if I don't. You were born unique for a reason, you were born to stand out, to be appreciated and loved for WHO YOU ARE. Don't dim the lights to fit into the dull backdrop of other people's lives. Shine bright AS YOU ARE, those who truly care about you will see the light and shine with you. Don't let your own limited beliefs control your life. NOTHING you can do, NOTHING you can have, and because this UNIVERSE is my witness, there is NO ONE you can't become if you believe in yourself! If you believe anything is possible, guess anything is POSSIBLE! When you change your faith from limited to unlimited…. Your potential is limitless. Imagine what you could achieve if you lived your life as if NOTHING was possible. As if MIRACLES is a standard need of every day. As they say:
When there is nothing to hold you inside, there is nothing outside to hold you back. Your whole life will change the very moment you decide to change your thinking. Relationships. Ticklish topic. But if you always need the other to be happy, to feel complete, then you are always one moment away from a breakdown if that person leaves, or from unhappiness if the relationship doesn't work out. I am not suggesting avoiding relationships. There is no greater power on this earth than LOVE and connection. I'm talking about those who can't LIVE if they don't have a relationship. Those who will be with anyone, including everyone who is not the same, just so as not to spend a single minute alone. I AM speaking to develop enough mental strength to reach the point where you don't need others to make you happy. You are just as happy being single as you are in a relationship. This is what controls most people on the planet. This does not mean that you should not want abundance. This does not mean that money is evil. You know as well as I do what great things you can do, and you know the people you can help with money. This means don't let money control your decisions. If you choose something ONLY based on how much money is involved, you simply made the wrong decision. What you will find is that when you follow your heart and behave with the intention of SERVING others, giving your best to others - EVERY TIME you follow your intuition and truly GIVE from the heart - then the money will come and it will be so much more than if you were just chasing money for the sake of money. So, challenge yourself to live the life you want to live. Free from ANYTHING's control. Find your freedom. LIVE FULLY! Find your freedom and live life to the fullest every single day.

If you look from the other side, then many young people want to feel the whole atmosphere of preparation, at the same time bring something from themselves into this holiday of the soul, add zest. 
This will allow you to relax and use the maximum number of people for the dance. 
When the music stops, you need to quickly change pairs so as not to be left with a mop. 
Learning the most widely known partner dances can make you the star of any social event and bring some fun and culture into your life at the same time. When you sign up for ballroom dancing classes, the information in this post can help you learn more about the different types of ballroom dancing. When someone refers to the "International Ballroom" dance style, for example, they are talking about 10 different dances. Below you will find a simple explanation of the ten most popular ballroom dance styles: 
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 
~ Terri Guillemets 
Bigger, prettier, more powerful. ~ Agnes DeMille 
I believe that we learn by doing. Whether it means learning to dance by dancing, or learning to live by practicing life... In each of them, it is the performance of a certain set of actions, physical or intellectual, from which arises a form of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of the spirit. In some area man becomes an athlete of God. ~ Martha Graham, c.1953 
~ Martha Graham 
~D.H. Lawrence 
~ Ezra Pound 
~ Hopi Indian proverb 
NOW warning with this. These beliefs may be conscious, but more than likely they will be unconscious. These may be unconscious limitations that have been conditioned from an early age and throughout your life when you listened to others who never pursued their dreams. Pay attention to your limited beliefs and tell them to shut up. 
The moment you decide to see everything as a gift. When you MAKE A DECISION to see all circumstances and challenges as a blessing, not a curse. When you start to realize the fact that everything is as it should be and fight for WHAT IS, it is madness.

always want to get a fast result When it doesn't happen, the hypothesis arises that everything takes time. After a conditionally acceptable time, humility comes to mastering pair dances, which, perhaps, is not given, and I will just do what I learned somehow.
This is the most common story of those who believe that the mere act of attending a pair dance class is enough to learn how to dance.
Absolutely not. If you want to really dance well, you have to make an effort outside of the dance class. A good teacher will definitely be needed, but the initiative should be on your side.
1. Listen to music
The most common and accessible advice that is given already in the first lessons. And it definitely works. Music creates a certain atmosphere of the dance and intuitively you want to move to it. It doesn't matter where you listen to music - in the car, on headphones while walking or doing household chores.
An addition that will help you dance better is your active participation in the music. Sing along, dance or simply beat musical accents with any free parts of the body. In the subway, for example, it is enough to tap out bright moments with your fingers, in the car to sing along with sounds, and at home you can jump for pleasure.
2. Watch videos of good dancers
It's complicated, but also obvious. It’s more difficult, because without recommendations from more experienced dancers, unfortunately, it’s not so easy to find a good quality video on the net (I mean not the resolution quality, but the content itself).
Meaningful watching of the video is to form an understanding of HOW the dancers make this or that impression on the partner or the viewer. Technology is at the heart of everything. Understanding how the pros do it is a big step forward.
It is important to distinguish a show from a disco dance, a staged number from an improvisation, a stylized dance from an authentic one, etc. Ask for recommendations, and dance teachers will always throw off a couple of videos of worthy landmarks.

3. Dance in salsatecas/milongas/discotheques
A very delicate moment when it is worth coming to the first party. From a technical point of view, most students in 1-3 months have a sufficient set of figures and techniques to come and dance calmly. Psychologically, the same moment can be stretched out for an indefinite time. After all, it is imperative to “not lose face”, “learn more figures” and be sure what to do in case “there is an unfamiliar movement”.
In fact, the party goers don't care (except for a small layer of non-professional teachers who want to help inexperienced dancers by treating them as customers in the future). It is important to come and try dancing after a month of classes. You can only with friends or guys from your group. This will be enough to feel the adrenaline and inspiration from the dance.
4. Dance with partners or partners not of your level
The conventional wisdom that you need to practice in groups of your level does not withstand the test of experience.
Perhaps now your eyes widened in surprise, and you want to meaningfully read the phrase again. Yes, you saw everything correctly: when you dance with a partner of your level, you don’t grow anywhere.
It's important to understand that not only does it work one way, and you need to dance with cooler dancers, but it works even more effectively the other way. It is no coincidence that teaching pair dances dramatically raises the level of the teacher himself. You have an endless stream of very beginner dancers.
How it works. A more experienced partner needs to be "stretched". It's easy and obvious. With beginners, you need to take more initiative on yourself, see the general pattern of the dance more widely, turn on and insure more, try to be an example and be more careful. The quality of interaction begins to grow significantly. And wonderful partners too.

5. Learn to dance for a partner and for a partner
Turks and Argentines are one of the best partners in the world. In Russia, partners are highly valued. Why? The answer is simple. In Argentina and Turkey, it is not questionable for men to ask another man to lead in one piece or another and give feedback on the quality of the lead. For them, it will be a great shame to hear moralizing from a partner, or even more so to be known in the community as an insecure partner.
In Russia, due to the constant, often far-fetched, opinion that there are more women in pair dances, partners calmly get up and study their partner's part. Such partners then grow into very cool dancers and teachers. In no case do this at parties, only in class. Here we are talking only about the learning strategy. At parties, be yourself.
6. Do not memorize links
Always try to look deeper and understand the through principle and idea of movement.
Understanding what and how is done will make it possible to independently generate any sequences and chips.
Human memory is limited and there will always be a moment when something will slip away and your repertoire will be limited by the size of RAM.
In Argentine tango, for example, there are seven levels of movement construction that, when mastered, will allow you to make millions of combinations. And how many dance sequences can you really remember? In rueda, more than 150 figures dance in a rare circle. It's hard to keep more in mind.
7. Develop your body
Many years of experience in teaching pair dance shows that as soon as everyone pairs up in a class, any progress in individual style ends. But it is the individual style that distinguishes everyone at the disco: partners change, and style is always with you.
The body as the main instrument of dance must be very plastic, responsive and emotional. Surprisingly, not all pair dance schools have a general physical warm-up.
It is vital to tune the body and understand how it works.
You can always train extra and concentrate more on the basic steps, as their true value is as body work. The sequence of steps is, in fact, the simplest thing that can be in pair dancing. The quality of individual performance determines the craftsmanship.
8. Try on the images of inspiring dancers
A psychological life hack for those who have already mastered the steps, but still feel that there is not enough brightness and drive. Most are terribly afraid of being someone else's "clone". Here the action is the same as under the influence of hypnosis - the more you resist, the more you plunge into an altered state of consciousness.
With a high degree of probability, you are already dancing like someone else's "clone". A meaningful fitting of someone else's image is that you mentally take the image of the one who inspires you (inspiration is critical in this case) and "put on" yourself.
Then you start dancing and trying to feel in general how it is to be able, for example, to be the best partner or the sexiest partner in a disco. This is much more difficult than it seems. But it works extremely efficiently.
9. Dance to offbeat music
Habitual rhythms keep you tight. Tango salon or speedy timba leave little room for experimentation and fantasy. Pattern dancing is always noticeable and is reserved for beginners.
The truly new is born outside of the usual. Look for places to experiment. If there is no place, organize self-training. The main thing is not to get carried away, because music determines the style. We bring something new to pair dances, rather than trying to change them.
Search, improvise, don’t be afraid to go beyond, develop in different directions, be inspired by music atypical for the style
10. Try your hand at basic dance directions
dances exist according to their own non-choreographic laws.
This is the deepest delusion, which has turned into a ceiling for the qualitative development of partner dances. After all, all professional dancers, for example, in salsa or bachata, build their ideas on the basic choreographic principles.
Do not think that choreography is applicable only on stage. Any meaningful movement of the body can be choreographic. In general, try classical or modern choreography. Basically, hip-hop can work too.
11. Look for battle sensations
Pair dances return us to an active position of manifestation of our body. As in the days of our ancient ancestors, we impress the members of the opposite sex by how dexterous, hardy, sexy, etc. we are. Modern laws of the jungle in the entourage of large cities.
If you look around the dance floor, it becomes clear that the majority are clearly herbivores (not in the sense of vegetarians, but in relation to those around them).
I am sure that predators are always more interesting in terms of the attractiveness of the image - try to find a counterbalance among herbivores, for example, a cat woman or a lion man.
The conversation is about an internal position, not about aggressiveness. Lability and lack of control are inherent in adolescents, and not in adult self-sufficient people.
Accordingly, even a training or friendly battle gives, on the one hand, practical skills - to make a bright sequence of movements, bring an idea to a climax, show a spectacular feature, on the other hand, develops the psychological basis of the dance - self-confidence, resistance to extraneous attention, self-control and self-control in complex elements.
12. Communicate with professionals
The environment shapes the internal position. Basically, real passionaries of the dance community are ready to openly talk, discuss and support the development of dance in every possible way.
Universal principles and the ideas they articulate have a much longer and more practical perspective than meets the eye.
Accept that, for example, behind the words "listen to your partner" is not only a beautiful metaphor, but also a practical skill to literally listen to your partner. At the same time, always treat every thought, even the most respected teacher, as a private opinion.
Your skill will lie in finding the scope of the idea even in conflicting opinions. Most often, the contradiction is speculative and the truth lies in the angle of perception or situationality.
Your dancing growth will stop sooner or later. This can happen at the level of three basic steps or years of experience in teaching and show performances. Regardless of your level, the suggested 12 life hacks can get you off the ground and greatly accelerate your dance growth. There is no way here without your motivation and activity. Take your dance development into your own hands.
