How to dance with girls at a party

How to Dance With a Girl at a Party

Did you just see the prettiest girl at a party and really want to dance with her? You just cannot do it if you are not bold enough. You should know that you are a good dancer, and be confident enough to ask her for a dance. There might be a possibility that she also wants a dancing partner, and no one is actually trying to approach her. Therefore, try to be the first person to become her dance partner and try to be the confident person who is going to approach her and ask her to dance.

Instructions

1

Ask
The most important step for you is to ask her for a dance. Most of the guys who want to dance with pretty girls they see at parties mostly don’t end up dancing with them because they are too afraid to approach them. She will not bite you, neither will slap you; therefore, try and gather some confidence and go and ask her for a dance. However, make sure that you are respectable enough and that she is not already being accompanied by her one-and-only.
2

Start
If she says no, turn to the other girl who might say yes. Once you are done with picking the girl who is willing to dance, it is up to you to start dancing. When you dance, don’t be too nervous and try to be confident in front of her. You should lead the way and make her feel comfortable throughout the situation.
3

Talk
Don’t be silent during the time you are dancing with her. You have to talk to her. Create questions; keep some in your mind beforehand. Ask her basic questions such as her name, where she studies, etc. Do not ask her age as it will be an extremely inappropriate thing to do.
4

Others
When you are busy dancing, you should know that you should not just stick to one girl. Since that one girl will give you confidence, try to dance with different girls. If you like the first girl, it is obvious that you should eventually return back to her, but try to dance with other girls so that you get perfect at this and you know what exactly you are supposed to do.
5

Enjoy
This is extremely important that you enjoy your time, you are spending with the girl you are dancing with.
6

End it on a good note
Right before you leave, say something that will make her talk to you even after you are done dancing with her. Leave on a positive note.

How To Dance With Women In A Club: Verified by women. -

How to dance with women? We guys have all been there. We are at a party and we see all these beautiful girls on the dancefloor. Our natural reaction is to want to dance with them.

So how should guys go about this? Well, much of the advice available is given by men. However, it is in fact women who are much better placed to give this advice. For women are the ones who know what truly works (instead of men who just ‘think’ they know what works).

We compiled a comprehensive set of responses from a wide variety of women on their advice for how men should dance with women. This advice is logically broken down below:

To dance well with women at a party or club requires men to:

Be aware of the need to earn a womens trust
Ackowledge the difference between dancing and ‘picking up’
Become a good dancer themselves
Practice partner dancing
Be well-groomed and have good fashion
Assess what type of woman they are interested in dancing with
Use subtle signs to signal their interest to the woman and being perceptive to the woman’s mutual interest
Select an appropriate approach which aligns with the type of woman they are interested in
Close distance to be within the woman’s proximity allowing dancing to ensue more easily
Know what sort of dance moves they should do when dancing with a woman
Know when to stop dancing and when to take things further.

In the following paragraphs, we break down how these criteria work in reality. This is supported by real experience and advice from women who have experienced dancing with men. We break down why these criteria are critically important for men on a dancefloor who want to dance with women.

Read on for 11 key factors that you should take into account before approaching women on a dancefloor. These will help to avoid embarrassment or awkwardness, or at worse, rejection.

Table of Contents

1. Be aware of the need to earn a woman’s trust:

This is a very important thing to be aware of. Many women on a club dancefloor have reported being victims of men touching them with no consent. This means that women on dance floors have a legitimate distrust of men who approach them in clubs and parties.

The challenge of a dancefloor:

Understanding a woman’s mistrust of men on a club or party dancefloor is invaluable as a man. This enables men to be aware that they need to be careful when approaching women in a club. Men need to understand that women have their defenses up in a club. These defenses are higher than in less sexualized environments, such as a cafe or book club.

This does mean that approaching women on a dancefloor is a particularly challenging/hostile environment, but not an impossible environment.

‘Nothing gets my defenses up more than a guy leering at us for 10 minutes then being attacked from behind on a dancefloor.’
‘From my experience, lots of guys think it’s ok to just come up behind a girl and just start grinding himself on her ass. THIS IS NOT OK.’
‘It is scary, and honestly very creepy to have someone casually establish control over you without consent.’
Emily, 24, club dancer,
Jacinta, 28, club dancer,
Rebecca, 19, Club dancer.

The need to be genuinely trustworthy:

This all means that a man needs to genuinely earn a woman’s trust. He needs to genuinely show her that he is not just there to touch/kiss her. Note the word genuine, definitely don’t try and fake it, that is manipulative and immoral.

At this point, allow me to introduce Andrew Ferebee, who is a 3x bestselling dating author. He notes that without trust, the interaction will be laced with tension where the woman will be questioning:

‘Is he trying to sleep with me?’
‘Do I want to sleep with him?’
‘There are dozens of other guys here too, is he the one I want to go home with?’.

To avoid such tension and transactional behaviors, it is important to build genuine trust. It is also worth acknowledging that dancefloors are not the holy grail for easy relations between men and women. This is despite what movies and songs have portrayed them as.

Earning trust is the first and most important step in being able to dance with a woman.

2. Acknowledge the difference between dancing and ‘picking up’:

It is critical, particularly at parties or clubs, that the difference between dancing and ‘picking up’ is understood.

For many men, the only reason they want to dance with a woman is to attempt to touch a woman. You guessed it, women are very perceptive to this. Indeed they are on the lookout for this and are generally not attracted to it. However, in some cases, it also works the opposite way too.

The trouble with ‘picking up’:

But, I hear you ask, what about the women that seem to enjoy guys that touch them immediately? Well, women have reported that there is indeed a small percentage of women that:

Will likely be insecure physically
Will usually drink too much
Are attracted to the loudest, aggressive, and most rambunctious man in the room
The man will touch her without much consent
She will take this as evidence of her attractiveness and feel verified.

For the purposes of this article, these types of men and women are categorized in the ‘picking up’ category, not the dance category.

It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you avoid such behaviors due to the high potential for a lack of consent.

Also, remember that men who participate in this type of behavior are likely playing a numbers game. Let’s say a man hit’s on 30 women. The nature of this game means they might commit low-grade sexual assault on 28 out of 30 women. 2 out of 30 women might enjoy being dominated. That’s a pretty low success rate with a whole lot of harm caused.

This is a destructive and selfish game to play by those who have no qualms with traumatizing others. Unfortunately, such small success is very public. Many men biasedly see the success of the rambunctious man with his 2 out of 30 women. They would take that as proof that this is the only way to dance with women at a club. This is very incorrect and destructive.

The difference between dancing and ‘picking up’:

So, this article will focus on men dancing well with women for the purposes of having fun dancing. Not for the purposes of getting physical on a club dancefloor.

The end of the former vs the start of the latter can be flexible at times. Particularly in a venue where the alcohol is flowing and the dancefloor is crowded and genuine attraction exists.

The difference is that the former is more wholesome, and more of a gentleman’s trait than the latter. And it is sorely needed on today’s modern party dancefloor.

A useful article to read which highlights the nuances of club dancing is How To Dance In A Club: The simple, proven technique.

In order to start dancing well, men need to do a subtle yet powerful shift from:

Dancing for the sake of ‘picking up’
To dancing for the sake of enjoying dancing.

Otherwise, your whole motivation and resulting movement are skewed. A metaphor for this might be eating food for the sake of savoring a delicious meal versus eating food in a competitive eating competition.

‘Have fun dancing and don’t be on a dancefloor just to get to a womans body.’
Advice seen in 97% of female responses.

This leads us to the fact that many men don’t know how to enjoy dance without ulterior sexual motives. This is addressed in the next paragraph.

3. Become a good dancer:

This is where many men fail. The number of times you will see men who cannot dance try and dance with women is too high. This is not a good look.

Dancing poorly also reduces a man’s status. The reason for this is it is clear to the woman that the man does not have much athleticism. This a key attribute in the male-to-female attraction construct dating back centuries. The principle is how can you protect her when you have no warrior attributes.

So it is crucial that before a man looks to dance with a woman, he himself should focus on becoming a good dancer and learn how to genuinely enjoy dancing.

‘If men have rythym, cool dance moves, and are a confident dancer, there is a good chance a woman will want to dance with you before you even approach her. ’
Lauren, 25, club dancer.

Two articles that are invaluable in this regard are as follows:

How To Dance As A Guy: The complete guide men need.

How To Become A Good Dancer: The complete guide people need.

Dancing well also allows men to show women what type of character they are. For example, if a man:

Drinks to excess
Careens around the dancefloor and stumbles into people
Gets into women’s personal spaces without consent
Has half a pint of beer sloshing in his hand and the other half of the pint is all over his clothes

This all clearly shows women what type of character he is, aka lacking class.

In another example, if a man:

Is on a dancefloor genuinely enjoying the music
Moves with confidence, humility and is courteous of others on a dancefloor
Is sober enough to be in control of himself

Then this also shows women his more decent caliber of character.

4. Practice partner dancing and apply the learnings to party or club dancing:

Dancing with a girl is quite different from dancing by yourself. For this reason, it can be quite useful to gain some experience with partner dancing. However, it is acknowledged that club or party dancing with a girl is different from formal partner dancing.

When you practice partner dancing, whether it be Salsa, Ballroom, etc, you become more accustomed to the nuances of moving with a woman whilst dancing.

This is useful in a party or club scenario because you will already know:

Rythym synergy between a man and woman, and what good synergy feels like.
How it feels to hold a woman’s hands whilst dancing and how to lead those hands.
Feet placement to avoid stepping on the woman’s toes or having your toes stepped on.
How to perform some moves if it does come to partner dancing.
What to do if a woman comes in close and wants to slow dance.
The differences between partner versus solo dancing, etc.
How to be comfortable with dancing with a woman, including eye contact.

5. Be well-groomed and have good fashion:

This is a fairly straightforward staple of the attraction world, and yet one which is too often glossed over by men.

Similarly to dancing well, being well-groomed and having good fashion raises your status with women. Being well groomed includes the following:

Trimming your beard or being clean shaven
Good skin maintenance
Attractive hair
White and even teeth
Attractive amounts of muscle/fat
Good smell- includes body and breath.

Again women are very perceptive to these things as they themselves are often the masters of beauty and fashion. Remember if you can’t take of yourself, how can you take care of her?

This is particularly important in a scene such as a club or a party, given how visually-based these places are. The reason for this is that the music is usually so loud that meaningful conversation is limited.

It is useful to think about the importance of grooming and fashion from a woman’s perspective. Would YOU want to dance with someone who looked below average and smelt below average too?

Tips on how to be well-presented:

So spend some time and invest some money into looking and smelling great. Some useful and quick tips to get you started in this regard are as follows:

Get inspired:

Follow 2 fashion social media channels on your platform of choice. This will give you regular inspiration.

It will also give you tips on how to wear clothes fashionably by men who make a living from it. It forces you to engage in fashion choices as it will be a part of your social media consumption.

Identify what you need:

Make yourself a list of clothes you need to improve your wardrobe. Include color, material, and context of when you would wear it. Focus is key when shopping.

Avoid burnout:

Set yourself a time limit of 1. 5hrs whilst shopping. Also, keep notes as to when you last shopped and which shopping center. Remember that stores tend to introduce new clothes every fortnight to a month. Shopping efficiently will reduce the chance of burnout.

Be disciplined:

Be disciplined with your grooming schedule and don’t be afraid to experiment with what works for you. Consider permanent solutions for body hair such as laser hair removal. If you do get laser hair removal be sure to seek out a reputable clinic to avoid harmful side effects.

However, be wary of such things as waxing which can cause negative side effects. Particularly if you are prone to in-grown hairs.

Stay fit:

Join a gym or purchase home gym equipment and commit to a regular fitness schedule.

What your friends say about you:

Also, be aware of what your own group looks like. Are your friends well-groomed and dressing well? This can raise your general status.

Or is your group a large number of heavily muscled, tall men? This can be intimidating for women. Particularly if her acceptance of your dance invitation turns into her unknowingly accepting all of your friends into her small group of girlfriends.

6. Assess her type/group:

Quickly assessing what type of woman you might be about to try and dance with is valuable for several reasons. The most notable of these reasons is that there are many different types of women on a dancefloor. Many of them also have different preferences and motives for dancing.

For example, a woman might look shy and not too confident on a dancefloor. Brashly going up to her and doing wild dance movements in her vicinity probably won’t be attractive to her. Whereas being more subtle and matching her perceived mood will likely be more attractive to her.

However, a woman might be confidently dominating a dancefloor with intense dance moves. In this instance being more confident and bold will likely yield better dance results for you.

Genuinely assess whether you have a chance with her given her level of attractiveness. If she is completely stunning, you might feel that she is definitely out of your league. This is fair enough. In this, it might be better to aim for someone who is perhaps more aligned with your own physical attractiveness. Be honest with yourself, but also make sure your self-esteem is accurate (not too high and not too low).

Types of groups:

Assessing her group is also useful because the group type can influence the chances of you dancing with her. For example:

A large guy group: If she is with a large guy group this is risky group. This is due to the unknown relationship types the girl might share with each or one particular guy.
A large girl group: If she is with a large girl group this can also be a risky group. Particularly if the group seems to be protective of her due to her good looks. This might reduce your chances of dancing with her.
One or two girl friends: If she is with few friends this could be an easier group to dance with. Particularly if the friends seem easy going.

7. Close distance to make it easy for dancing together to ensue:

Women have advised that gradually moving to a woman’s vicinity on a dancefloor makes it easier for dancing together. Note the keywords here are gradual and vicinity.

Gradual in this context means not in an obvious way. You don’t want to make a beeline for her, as that is intimidating. Just make it look as though you are finding a better space on the dancefloor to dance. It is also important to not approach from her back as this is where many unwanted advances come from. Approach her gradually from the front so she knows you are not trying to creep up on her.

Vicinity in this context means within 1-2 meters of her, depending on how crowded the dancefloor is. You don’t want to go right into her personal space bubble. This bubble shrinks or contracts depending on how crowded the dancefloor is, but STILL EXISTS. At this stage, you just want to be within her line of sight. This means she has the chance to notice you more without immediate pressure.

8. Signal that you might be interested and be perceptive if she is also interested:

So, you are now within the line of sight of a woman that you want to try and dance with. What do you do now?

Advice by women is that a woman is generally very aware of who is in a club or party. She will likely have already seen you (even if she pretends she hasn’t). And generally already made up her mind as to how physically attractive you are, and if you are:

Physically attractive: But if you are innitialy in this category, poor dance skills can bump you down into category 2.
Not physically attractive: Generally speaking, no amount of great dance skills will hange her mind about you. The importance of first impressions.
Unsure: Be aware that if you are in this category, good dance skills can raise your status into category 1.

Indicators of interest:

To get some sense as to how interested she is in you, can go three ways, as advised by women:

1. Your eye contact:

You can signal that you might be interested in dancing with her by giving her eye contact AND smiling.

This is one of the least intrusive ways to start the process of engaging a woman like a gentleman.

But, remember there is such a thing as too little and too much eye contact. Also smiling too broadly or too little. Too little and you risk not being noticed. Too much and you will come across as creepy/cringey.

After the first bit of eye contact, you will be in her head. Now is the time to dance well and show her you are a cool kind of guy.

Try and repeat the eye contact 1-2 more times after a song or so (whilst giving her a nice smile).
Notice if she smiles back
Or giggles with her friends
Or you find her looking at you after you have glanced away from her.
A fun trick is try poking your tongue out at them like a kid. This is fun and makes you stand out.

If she does the above, then there is a good chance that she might be interested in dancing with you. Or at least talking with you.

But, be receptive to if she doesn’t smile back or is just returning your look without any warmth. Take that as a sign she is not interested.

2. Her eye contact:

If you find her looking at you:

Around 3 times
She smiles with her friends aftewards
Or maintains eye contact beyond an accidental length

Then these are good signs that she may be interested in you.

It can be useful to have a female friend with you on a night out. Your female friends can notice when other women may be looking at you in an interested way. Or verify if a woman’s look is indeed interested as opposed to an accidental look.

3. Chance conversations:

Women have also advised that interest in them doesn’t always have to be through eye contact. It is possible to engage a woman in small talk at a:

Bar
Or smoke area
Or outside of the club

This can be done using small talk topics covered in the next section.

However, be aware this is more intrusive than eye contact and should be treated with more caution as a result.

3.1 Restraint in chance conversations

Be aware, that showing some restraint (but not too much) can be attractive.

Let’s say she is very beautiful and she is engaging in conversation with you. Show some restraint by not immediately jumping at any small sign of interest she shows towards you. This will raise your value and generally make you appear less desperate or at least different to other men.

For example, you can tell her she looks really cute tonight, have some small talk, then back off. This way so she knows you are interested but you are not pushy and you have restraint. You might then see her on the dancefloor and you will be in her head.

Understand that most beautiful women have men desperately trying to get her number. The vast majority of these men are usually too pushy, flirty, sexual, or desperate, or all of these combined.

Have the dignity and restraint to wait for more substantial signals of interest.

A good trait combination is to have:

The boldness to engage in chance conversations
The restraint to not be too pushy or flirty
Have the values of kindness and respect
Remain genuine and fun
And the perceptiveness as to how much she did or did not enjoy your small talk.

If it looked like she did not enjoy the conversation by:

Staying glued to her phone
Or mentioning her boyfriend
Or not reciproacting the conversation

Then take those as signals as signs to back off.

‘A woman will have seen you (even if she pretends she hasn’t) and already made up her mind as to how physically attractive you are and if you are a ‘yes’, ‘no’ or ‘maybe’.’
Sarah, 27, club dancer and dance teacher.

Accurately read signals of interest:

This ‘interest confirmation’ is a step that many men also fail to do, particularly in clubs. It is very important to get some sense of a woman’s interest level, prior to dancing with her.

Far too many egotistical men think that one random glance from a woman is her signaling that she wants them. It’s generally not as flippant as this.

Also, far too many men drink to excess and then start to approach and touch women on a club dancefloor. They do this because they wouldn’t know what to do if they were sober. And don’t care when they are drunk. DON’T BE ONE OF THESE.

Take rejection well and generally not personally:

Always remember to be a gentleman on a dancefloor. And be receptive to indications of interest or non-interest and react appropriately.

Numerous women have advised that there may be multiple reasons for a woman’s lack of interest. It may not be because she finds you creepy or that you lack attractiveness or skills in approaching.

There may be a variety of reasons such as, she may:

Just want to dance with her friends
Have a boyfriend
Not be in the mood to dance with anyone due to hidden issues
Enjoy dancing by herself more than dancing with someone becuase it limits her movement
Not want to have to go to the effort of finding out if she can trust a strange man
Not be looking to meet new people due to her personal circumstances such as going through a tough time in her life
Have exceeded her threshold for dealing with new people for that night
Have a general aversion to dancing with a guy due to past experience
Be tired
Be about to leave
Have sore feet
Have drunk too much.

Also, be aware that you can do the perfect approach and some women don’t know how to react appropriately or kindly. Unfortunately, this can happen where she carries more blame than you. This is particularly rife in younger women.

9. Transition tactfully/naturally to dancing with her:

This step is the most nerve-wracking. This is where there is the biggest risk of being rejected or things being awkward. This step is of course transitioning naturally to dancing with her.

This all builds on points 6, 7, and 8. It requires:

Selecting the right approach
Approaching at the right time
Using the right approach for the type of woman you are interested in dancing with
Approaching after (and only after), receiving confirmation of her interest in dancing with you.

General advice from women on transitioning to dancing with them:

Advice from many women on transitioning to dancing with them is as follows:

Don’t slink around the edge of their girl group like a predator.
Definitely don’t grab them from behind as women report that is scary, disgusting, not sexy, and low-grade sexual assault. Put yourself in the woman’s shoes and imagine if you were trying to have a fun night out. Then someone proportinally stronger than you decides to come up behind you and start grinding on you without any consent. DO NOT EVER DO THIS.
Many women don’t know what they are doing either with dancing with a partner. So you can take some comfort in that.
Don’t just start breakdancing in front of her.
Check your body odour, level of sweat and breath smell. No one wants to dance with someone dripping in sweat and reaking of body odour/foul breath.
Ask women to dance (and wait for a response) instead of just grabbing them. Most of them will say yes, but never blur the lines of space and trust.
Think of women as people first (not women first) with feelings and a story just like you. Not some mysterious species. Don’t alienate them to the point where unnaceptable behaviour becomes acceptable.

How to dance with shy or not confident women:

If the type of woman is shy or not confident then:

The right approach will generally be to match her mood and level of moves.
This will make her feel more comfortable and less out of place. When people feel comfortable they are more likely to want to dance.
This might look like gradually/casually facing her
- If she reciprocates the face-off, then showing each other a few dance moves before complimenting her on her dance skills.
- Suddenly you now have stood out from the crowd and are less of a stranger.

How to dance with bold or confident women:

If the type of woman is bold, has high energy, and is very confident then:

The right approach would generally be to match her energy and boldness.
This might look like putting on your best dance moves
Or raising the level of eye contact to see if she reciprocates
Or if she is in the middle of a dance circle then engaging her in a mock dance battle. You get the idea.

Remember to keep things natural with small talk:

Women have advised that if you feel the need to break the ice then consider these small talk topics. This can keep things feeling natural.

Remember to speak slowly, clearly, and loud enough. Also don’t speak so close that she can feel your breath. Try and have a cute/cheeky smile, and have some eye contact (but don’t stare).

Small talk topics can include:

Who is she with?
Is she wearing anything interesting (bracelet, bag, shoes, peircing, phone, earings, etc.)? Avoid comments about her body or immediate clothing such as her dress.
Is she drinking, if so what?
Does she look happy, bored, grumpy, sad, excited?
Does she have an accent, if so where is it from?
What does she do? Is she looking around, or is she texting a lot, or is she dancing, or waiting for a drink?
What sort of music might she like?
A simple ‘hi, I am… what is your name’ or ‘hey, hows it going’ can also work.

Another tip in the name of keeping things natural is to avoid overthinking how you will approach her, do some thinking and preparation but not overly so.

A general rule is once you receive the confirmation that she might be interested in dancing with you (as mentioned above), act on it within 5 seconds.

This will force your brain to not overthink it and to remain natural and calm whilst also preventing her from thinking you are stalking her.

Be receptive/attentive to her body language:

An important note here is, not to force anything and also stay calm and receptive to her signals. If you are getting the sense that she doesn’t really want to dance with you because her reciprocation to your approach is:

Half-hearted
She keeps checking her phone after you have approached her
She keeps looking at her friends
Facing away from you.

Then chances are she would rather not be dancing with you, and that’s okay, you will just need to back off. This can happen even you are a good dancer and followed the previous 8 steps, as dance styles sometimes don’t align. Advice by women is to accept rejection gracefully.

The good news is that you intelligently hedged your bets by seeking some sort of interest confirmation before approaching. Dancing with women is a calculated risk.

Advice by women on this matter is if you are rejected, don’t approach too many girls after this as the next girls will have noticed your rejection and it makes you look desperate, plus it makes them look like ‘just the next best option’.

‘If you are rejected, accept it gracefully, and don’t approach too many girls after this, as the next girl will have noticed your rejection and it makes you look desperate, plus it makes them look like ‘just the next best option’.’
Michelle, 35, dance teacher.

On the flip side, if she looks like she is enjoying herself and seems to appreciate your attention and dancing ability, then that’s a good sign to keep dancing.

So be receptive to her body language and cues and react appropriately.

10. What sort of dance moves you should do when dancing with a woman:

So, you have arrived at the actual stage of dancing with a woman, without embarrassment or awkwardness and status intact.

The next hurdle is to know what sort of dance moves you should do with a woman. There are a variety of choices out there. For example, do you:

Do intense footwork
Maintain lots of eye contact
Face her front-on all the time or sometimes side-on
Take her hands and do partner dancing
Move in close and move your hands to her hips, etc.

The best cue that you can use to determine the above, is the music and the woman.

Cues from the music:

If the music is fast and intense, then chances are you wont be holding her hands and twirling her. The chances are you will be both energetically doing solo dance moves.
But if the music is slow and romantic, then moving in close might be more fitting.
If the music is a latin pop song, then holding hands and twirling around each other could be more fitting. You can make it fun and pretend to be the next Enrique Iglesias and Jennifer Lopez (famous latin pop stars).

Cues from the woman:

Cues from a bold/confident woman:

While you are dancing with her, try and notice what she naturally prefers to do. For example:

Her amount of eye contact
Which direction her body faces towards you (side-on vs front-on, etc)
How close she is dancing to you
How fast her movements are, etc.

You can use these cues to inform you of how to dance with her.

For example, if she is:

Maintaining lots of eye contact then feel free to return that eye contact
Dancing quite close to you then that is generally a signal that she would want to do intimitate dancing. Your hands in this case might be on her hips.
Dancing with a serious look on her face becuase she is really into the music then match that.
Or somewhat mocking the music by doing silly dance moves then try and match that too.

It is generally easier to take cues from the woman instead of imposing your own cues. This is due to the power imbalance between you. Aka, you are generally the stronger, probably taller, more naturally dominant of the two genders). So it is generally safer if the women get some control of the situation.

However, if you see the woman struggling to decide what to do then propose your own moves. But be a gentleman about it.

Cues from a shy/not confident woman:

Identify if the woman is not too confident with dancing (using your observations about her type from point 6). Then try and identify what sort of dance actions she might like but not want to instigate due to shyness. Or due to expectations of men traditionally being the first ones to make a move in this sort of context.

For example, she might want to hold hands. But if she reached out and took your hands then her friends might judge her for being that bold. This sounds out of date, and it is, but in reality, these thoughts are still occurring in both genders. This is a fascinating display of the wide spectrum of what constitutes masculine vs femine behaviour. This is particularly prominent in a more vulnerable space such as dancing with the other gender.

The common ways women might indirectly communicate their desire for more intimacy is by displaying subtle cues such as:

Flipping her hair
Smiling lots
Eye contact
Laughing lots
Her body language
How much she is talking to you in your ear.

These can give you some indication of whether an increase in intimacy is warranted by holding hands, etc. BUT, tread with caution, if in doubt, stick to a ‘no touching’ policy.

You can also test the waters by gently holding her hands. Or experimenting with different dance moves and seeing if she is enjoying herself. If not, go back to more safe dancing.

A general tip if she is not too confident is to try giving her a few gentle spins. But don’t wrench her arm, this is where your skills in partner dancing from point 4, are useful.

‘Once a woman has accepted your invitation to dance, don’t take that as an opportunity to grind, hump, or touch her, just keep dancing and having fun.’
‘Grabbing our hips and swaying and grinding? This is boring to me. Show off some real dancing, good or not.’
Jessica, 23, club dancer,
Maria, 32, club dancer.

General advice from women here is:

Once a woman has accepted your invitation to dance, don’t take that as an opportunity to grind, hump, or touch her body, keep just having fun and keep dancing.

Try and make her night enjoyable, focus on the fun aspect, not a sexual end game.

Take care of her, don’t be too into your own dancing, make sure she is okay and you can even protect her somewhat from other rough dancers.

Don’t try and out dance her. If you know you are a better dancer than her then don’t make her feel inadequate, try and be humble.

11. Know when to stop dancing and when to take things further:

At this point, you may have been successful in approaching a woman and dancing with her. The next question is: how long do I dance with her?

If the dancing is enjoyable:

The safe bet is to judge if the dancing is enjoyable for both of you. So try and judge when you have established a fun dance connection but BEFORE the novelty of her dancing with you wears out (which can happen after people have just met).

One way to conclude an enjoyable dance experience without wearing out your welcome is to say: ‘I am really liking dancing with you, but I don’t want to keep you from your friends, can I give you my number?’.

This shows that you are fun, courteous, and interested in her. You may have just made her night.

Women have advised that giving her your number instead of asking for her number is a much less stressful situation for the woman as there is no pressure for her to divulge her personal phone number until after she has thought about if she would like to message you.

‘He gave me his phone number rather than asking for mine, which means I got a say in whether or not the contact developed without having to awkwardly reject him or give a fake number.’
Lisa, 21, club dancer.

If the dancing is not so enjoyable:

Another possibility is that the dancing and connection are not that enjoyable for whatever reason. So you might not give her your number by excusing yourself politely by perhaps saying: ‘Thank you so much for the dance, I just need to go to the bathroom’. This way the connection is safely aborted and you will both likely go your separate ways.

However, be sensitive to the fact that she may realize you didn’t enjoy dancing with her, so don’t immediately jump back on the dancefloor with someone else.

If you follow these rules, at the most your chances of dancing well with a woman will rise significantly. At the least, you will be a gentleman with swag, dignity, and confidence who understands how dancing with women works.

Steps

1

Practice dancing at home. Turn on your favorite music, close your bedroom door and dance like no one is watching. Look at yourself in the mirror as you dance, and pay attention to which moves you like and which you don't. Even if you don't know how to dance, practicing at home will strengthen your muscles and make you dance more naturally in front of other people.
- Exercise at least once a week. This will not only improve your skills, but it will also be a great exercise!
- Practice dancing to different styles of music - hip-hop, electro, classic rock, country and blues. So you will be ready for any song.
2

Consider taking dance lessons. Hip-hop dance and modern dance will help you improve your body control and teach you the basics of rhythm and coordination.
- Also consider taking an aerobics class like Zumba or joining a gym.

1

Dress well. Before you go to the party, put on your favorite clothes and get ready, the main thing is that you like your look. The more attractive you feel, the less tense you will be when others look at you.
- Wear comfortable clothes and shoes so that you can move comfortably. Clothes that are too tight will hold you back and you won't be able to relax.
- Girls can wear a loose dress or a loose T-shirt so they can dance in peace. Even if you stand on the sidelines and just shift from place to place, your dress will look great.
2

Get comfortable at the party. After you arrive, walk around the party, say hello to your friends and get yourself something to drink. So you get rid of worries, relax and start having fun. If people are already dancing, then look at them a little and memorize the movements.
- If you are old enough, drink something alcoholic. This will make you feel relaxed and less stressed. But don't overdo it; too much alcohol will backfire and make you feel ashamed the next day.
3

Listen to music. Before you start dancing, pay attention to the music. Feel its rhythm, and start dancing with your head. Keep to the rhythm, this will help determine all the movements of the dance.
4

Find yourself a place to dance. If a group of people are already dancing, just join them. Try dancing in the center of the group so that you are not very visible from other sides.
5

Let your body move naturally to the music. Do not dance with preconceived moves, and do not try to dance faster or slower than the music that is playing. You can first step to the right, return, then also to the left.
- Let your torso and arms be relaxed.
- Keep moving your head to the beat.
- Do not block your knees.
- Close your eyes from time to time and just dance!
- If you are stuck, look at the people around you and imitate them. But don't stare too openly!
6

Look like you love everything. Dancing people only look stupid if they are uncomfortable or nervous. No matter how weird you move, if you smile and laugh or sing along to the music, then you already look cool. Guaranteed!

Tips

The most important thing to remember while dancing is that no one is watching or criticizing you. People go to parties to have fun and relax with their friends, and they are very busy with their own affairs to watch you dance.

strike up a conversation

Hold the girl's interest

End with dignity

Additional articles

You are only a few minutes at the party and a beautiful girl or even a group of girls has already caught your attention. You want to approach them, but are afraid that you will say something wrong or interfere with their conversation. But don't be afraid - talking to girls at a party isn't difficult. If you want to chat with girls, all you have to do is start a conversation, keep their interest, and walk away nicely. If you want to know how to talk to girls at a party, just follow these simple tips.

Steps

1

Get noticed. Before you approach a group of girls, make sure they notice you so you don't take them by surprise. You will be more likely to interest them if you introduce yourself. There are several ways to attract women's attention to yourself even before you approach them to talk.
- Make eye contact. Look the girl in the eyes and smile before you turn away.
- Stay close to the girls, but not too close so they don't think you're eavesdropping on them.
- Positive body language and gestures. Hold your arms at your sides or gesticulate with them. Look open and show that you are ready for a new conversation.
- If you are standing with friends or a group of people, try to laugh and look animated. The girls will notice that you are having a good time.
2

Introduce yourself. When a girl notices you, it's time to approach and get acquainted. Don't delay. You'll look much more confident if you approach her as soon as you spot each other. Don't wander around plucking up your courage and thinking of something to say. Here's how you should introduce yourself:
- First, choose the right time to do it. If a girl is very passionate about talking with friends or her whole company is laughing at something and having a good time, you can interfere.
- When you have chosen the correct time, approach with your head held high. Smile. State your name and, if they want to shake your hand when they meet, offer it to them.
- You can start with a small compliment. Say, "I noticed those sparkling earrings from across the room," instead of telling one of the girls how beautiful she is.
- Wait for her to introduce herself. Say that she has a beautiful name. If it's a group of girls, you can make them laugh by telling each one that her name is unique, or that that was your grandmother's name.
- Avoid vulgar pick-up phrases. Be yourself.
- You can bring a friend with you as support. This will help you charm girls.
- Understand if you are not welcome. If the girl doesn't want to say her name, doesn't say a word, rolls her eyes, or looks bored, leave before she gets impatient.
3

Start with easy topics. If a girl accepted your offer to meet and wants to continue communication, then you can easily joke to win her over. This is not the time for serious discussions about the meaning of life, your goal is to have fun and chat with the girl at the party.
- Talk about how you both ended up at the party. If you both know the host of the party, you can play a little joke on him.
- Talk about where you are from. Perhaps you will find something in common here.
- Don't start talking about your career, dreams and future plans. Stay in the present tense.
- Tease a girl. If she is comfortable with you, a few harmless jokes about her will make your communication more casual.
4

Make the girl laugh. The easiest way to start a conversation with a girl is to make her laugh. This will make her immediately feel at ease and she will want to continue the conversation. Making a girl laugh is not difficult if you are relaxed and confident.
- Laugh at yourself. This will show the girl that you are confident and don't take yourself too seriously.
- If the song starts playing, do some funny dance moves. If she laughs, tell her that's not all.
- Make her laugh with your wit. If she told a funny joke, don't just say, "That's funny," but counter with something witty and funny in return.

1

Ask a few questions. Girls love to talk about themselves, so if you ask her a few simple questions about herself, she will be interested in you and understand that you are interested in her. You don't need to interrogate a girl to find out something about her. Here are some good talking points:
- Ask if she has pets. Girls love to talk about their cats or dogs.
- Ask her how she likes to have fun. Girls love to talk about their hobbies.
- Ask her opinion about something minor, like a movie you saw recently. Or ask her what she thinks about the music at this party.
- Don't go too deep. Now is not the time to ask questions about her purpose in life, her relationship with her parents, or her biggest fears.
2

Do not dominate the conversation. Girls don't like it when guys take the lead in a conversation. If you talk all the time, the girl will think that you are a narcissistic narcissist and wonder why you even approached her. Make sure you give the girl the opportunity to talk as much as you do, if not more.
- Control how much you talk. Whether you're chatting with one girl or a group of friends, make sure you're not the only one talking.
- If the girls are talking about something you don't know, don't meddle with your own opinion. Wait until the conversation boils down to something you can actually talk about.
- If you are talking to a group of girls, make sure that everyone is involved in the conversation. Don't make them uncomfortable by singling out just one girl and only talking to her. You can do this later when you get to know everyone better.
3

Be charismatic. If you have charisma, the girl will want to talk to you even more, and you can consider that she is on your hook. To be charismatic, you must radiate confidence, be genuinely interested in people, and be able to get along with a variety of people. Here's how to do it:
- Be confident. Show that you are in harmony with yourself, stand firmly on your feet and speak positively about your life.
- Show genuine concern. Be a good listener by making eye contact and asking questions at the right time.
- Be versatile. Show that you are able to talk not only with one girl, but with any girl from a group of friends. A charismatic person can charm everyone.
- Make everyone feel special. Ask questions and give your opinion to show that everyone you talk to is unique in their own way.
4

Use a party to spice up a conversation. If you run out of topics to talk about, you can use the fact that you are at a party. Look around and use other guests and entertainment to improve your communication with the girl. Here's how to do it:
- Talk about other guests. If you have mutual friends among the guests, talk about them. Find out how she knows them and how long they have been talking.
- Use music as part of the conversation. After you've asked her if she likes the music she plays, find out what kind of music she likes in general.
- If there are drinks and food at the party, ask her if she would like something to eat or drink and bring it to her. This will make you a gentleman in her eyes.
- If people are playing board or video games, ask if she would like to join. This is a great and easy way to get to know someone better.

Leave so that she wants to continue communicating with you. You should say goodbye to a girl on a positive note when the conversation is going well and you feel like you can talk to her for the rest of your life. It may seem counterintuitive to walk out of a conversation when everything is going perfectly, but it's the best way to make a girl remember you and want to see you again. If you say goodbye when the conversation is already coming to a logical conclusion, the girl may not remember what a pleasant conversation you had earlier.
- Tell the girl that you enjoyed meeting her and talking to her, but you need to leave or go to chat with friends at the other end of the room. Be sincere when you say this.
- Lightly touch her arm or shoulder to show that you really enjoyed your conversation.
- If you have to leave for some really interesting reason, like your rock band rehearsal, be sure to tell her. She will understand that you are a versatile person with different interests.
2

If everything goes well, ask her out. If you've been talking long enough to know she's interested in you, feel free to take it to the next level and ask her out on a date. If you were talking to a girl in a group of friends, you should first be alone with her for a while before moving on to the next step. Don't worry about it. Remember that you are at a party and nothing should be taken too seriously.
- Be at ease. Just say that you enjoyed talking to her and would like to continue the conversation over dinner or drinks.
- Say, “I would really like to continue our conversation, but I have to go. Maybe I'll write down your number so we can discuss it another day?
- If you feel undue pressure in this situation, invite her out with your friends or invite her to another party next week.
3

If things don't go well, retire with dignity. You don't want to be the guy who overuses politeness, who keeps talking to a girl even if she doesn't want to have anything to do with him, or who interferes with friends who were looking forward to meeting you. As soon as you realize that you are not welcome, leave with dignity.
- Learn to recognize signs of unwanted communication. If a girl rolls her eyes, looks around, waves to her friends for help, or answers everything in monosyllables, it's time for you to leave.
- Don't be embarrassed. Do not show that you know that the girl does not like or that the conversation is not going well. This will only make the situation worse.
- Don't apologize for disturbing me. Unless you've been rude or stuck around for too long, smile politely and leave.
- Leave the conversation on a good note. Say that it was nice meeting you and that you might see each other again.

Tips

Learn something outside of school and learn it well. It could be guitar playing, singing, drumming, debating, juggling, acting, card tricks, sports, or anything else you can brag about. You can choose more than one case, but become an expert in at least one.
Read books on how to communicate and win over people. This will help you be prepared for any situation.
Never jump in front of someone's face and don't be third wheel. The first is just unpleasant, and the second can bring you a lot of problems.
Learn to dance. Even just peeping at people dancing in a disco can give you an idea of what is acceptable. Girls love guys who are confident. If you don't know how to dance correctly, imitate it competently.
Always practice and master the things you need to know. Both dancing and talking with girls can be practiced. Learn how to start and end conversations the right way. Even if the girl did not immediately peck at you, this will make a lasting impression on her.

Warnings

Don't try to get between two friends or between a girl and her boyfriend. In this case, it is better to admit defeat and leave. If she is released later, you can at least say hello to her.
