How can I dance "hip" when I'm white?

Question

Okay, I'm white. I take dance classes, but when I'm at a party or what not, I dance like such a geek. Whenever I try to dance to the soulja boy, or some hip hop, my friends say "That looks so ridiculous, you're such a white girl!" But they're white too! But somehow, they can dance all hip, and still make it look good. So how can I keep it gangster without looking like a total moron?

Answer 6

ok you take class it should come naturally right? well I'm a tall-skinny-white-girl too and there isn't really a secret except "get low"!  I have been teaching dance for awhile and last year I taught my first hip hop class and as long as it is fun and sharp it's "hip" (sharp, aka hard hitting, popping etc its very popular right now) perfect one type of movement and wow your friends! remember hiphop music is all in the down beat and work that plie.

Answer 7

Dancing 'hip' is just natural. I'm the best dancer I know, and I'm white. So don't even go there. It mostly depends on if you dance stiffly or not though. If you're stiff most 'hip' dances you do, such as soulja boy, will look retarded. Just learn to loosen up.
