How does a guy dance-- help please?

Question

im a guy in highschool.

At all dancing events so far I have refused to I dance with people because I have tried before and I dont know how

I'm not unathletic I do well at many sports but when I try to dance I just feel silly and unnatural. I think it might have to do with how I listen to classic rock but of course at friends dances its not gonna be that type of music. Now everyone really wants me to dance and a girl cried because I wouldn't dance with her and I felt terrible. Can some one help me please or give me some info on where I could at least get started please? Any and all help is appreciated, thank you.

Answer 1

You really want to know the truth it's simple as can be. You can't be afraid to do anything. If people laugh at you laugh with them cause if they are laughing they're enjoying you. It doesn't matter you don't have to learn the "right" way. You was made you for a reason, now just be you. It'd be different if you were needing to know how to know because it was some sort of formal dance. It's high school man enjoy it, trust me you'll miss it. Just move with the music whatever comes out is the way you dance right or wrong don't change that.

Answer 2

hey, wow.. that's tough... uhm well for starters, you should learn how to loosen up, relax your body you'll dance better that way... then find the beat of the song... then depending on the mood of the song just let your body do the talking... easy steps are just stepping side to side while clapping your hand to the beat...

Answer 3

dude...take a deep breath!

at one point every person has this fear.. the fear of stepping onto a forign dance floor without formally knowing how to dance.

your an athletic guy so it should be way easier for you then most people....

practice at home a bit..... put on some hip hop music that you likely hear at a party.....

First clap to the music on beat... if you can do that you can certainly dance!!!! next STOP CLAPPING and just apply that concept to your feet... step side to side natually with the beat!!!

if you can get that... anyone can lol.... try it with your hips.... most guys are afraid to move their hips but you will be stiff and look bad if you dont do it at least a little bit.

Rock your hips side to side with the beat just as if your shifting weight from leg to leg as if you are ready to catch a baseball.  

MOAT IMPORTANTLY - dont be afraid to look stupid - get over it dude you will be ariteee!!! youwill look back on this question and be like "wow, dancin is nothin, i feel stupid for asking his"

go for it dude...its fun once you eliminate the fear
