How do I dance when the music is fast at prom?

Question

Tonight, I've got my school prom and before today I've haven't really been to many parties and I have never ever danced before.

I think I'll be ok with the slow dances because all you have to do really is put your arms around the girl's waist and sway side to side but how do I move for the fast dances? I'm a very shy boy so what is good way of dancing without making a fool of myself? I don't want to just stand there doing nothing but I don't want to be too over the top either.

So how do I move please?

Answer 1

If you have to ask the question then dancing does not come naturally to you. You seem to be very shy too, so is there a way you can allow yourself to enjoy the music and allow your body to move to it instead of making it do something you're not comfortable with? I'd suggest you take some dancing dvd's out from the video store and see how other people do it.  You'll be surprised at how natural it is when you stop worrying and allow yourself to have a good time. If all else fails, shake your booty and have a good time at your prom. I love to dance - I'm 44 and you can't keep me off the dance floor when I hear a song I like. I wish I was there for you at your prom - we'd dance the night away and I guarantee you'd have a great time!!!! Just listen to the music and if you like it, your body will follow. Have a ball!!!

Answer 4

Well, i'm a 13 year old girl, in my country we dont have Proms, but we do have dances, and when a fast dance comes on well, I cant really explain it-but 'sway' with the music depending on the beat. Girls (from my own experience) will jiggle to rock songs etc. Guys just have to jump :-) . Hope I helped

alrite, since your new to this, this is wat u do...

go to the center of ther crowd where it is most crowded. that is where you want to b b/c u can hardly move so that will b a good excuse. since u can't move, jump up and down and bob ur head. if it's not so crowded, practice this really simple step:

step right with ur right foot, bring ur left leg in to tap(with the weight distributed on ur right foot), then bring ur left leg back out by stepping to the left(weight distributed on ur left foot), and tapping with the right. then repeat this step.

this is the most basic simplest move you can do. practice dis b4 prom day come with some music and see how it goes.
