How do you Dance, at school dances?

Question

okay, so Monday Night My school has a dance, (i know, its stupid having it on a monday night but thats what my school picked) and like i cant dance.

I really wouldnt be worrying about dancing, but theres this guy i really like, and even though we dont really know eachother, he'll come up to me and say "hey there" or stuff like, so yeah anyways... he's the type of guy that would go up at a girl and ask to dance with him, but I cant dance!

i have no rythem, and I'm very self conscious. I dont want to look like an idiot if i try to dance, but i mostly just stand there which looks stupid too.

I wanna have fun because its the last dance of the school year, and schools over on Thursday!

Someone please tell me how to dance!!

P.s. the music will probably be like hip hop and that kinda stuff played on the radio, because we're obviously teenagers.

Answer 1

lol well this question seems a lot more complicated than what it really is. I am a teenager and i have found myself stressing at previous dances about who I am going to impress and how people will react to the way that I am dancing.

i am not a marvelous dancer by the way. lol I have realized that if you let the music take control of how your feet move, they will automatically step to the beat and soon your hips and legs and the rest of your body will follow. Hip hop songs are actually the easiest to dance to because if you just look at all of the people dancing around you, hip hop dancers actually make up their own dances to songs, so you can go totally wild and no one will suspect a thing.

Also, about the guy, boys find it very attractive if you are dancing "on" another guy so get your booty in there and dont be afraid to work it and show what you are made of. if you are outgoing it will make up for any wrong moves that you make and you will have a great night.

Answer 2

Sign up for a dance class that teaches hip-hop.  Or go to a friend who is REALLY good at dancing and they can teach you some moves. Good luck! Hope I helped! Have fun at the dance! P.S My school dance was yesterday :)
