I'm such a bad dancer but I love dancing; what should I do?

Question

I've tried lessons but I'm still bad, my friends just can't teach me, I jump around like an elephant, I've got a bit of a belly, and I can't free style at all?!?! How the heck can I become a dancer?

Answer 1

More lesson, perhaps with a better teacher.

Answer 3

Some people just have to work harder than others, thats just the fact of life. And dont feel bad, im chubby too and you just have to do your best. Im not sure what kind of dance you are into...but here are some things i try to remember

Toe Touches

-Keep your head up and look straight ahead

-Keep your back straight

-Point your toes

Turns

-Make sure you spot each turn (pick a spot on the wall and keep your eyes focused on it and whip your head around)

-When you prep keep your ankle off of the floor

-(Posture)While you are turning dont bend over      stand up straight

-keep you leg tucked in and point you toes

Leaps

-point toes

-look up

-make sure you dont bend your knees

-Height, keep your back leg up

also remeber to

Stretch every day to keep from getting sore

Keep your arms sharp and straight!!

Have a positive attitude and smile!!

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

dance dance dance and have fun while you do dance.  so what if you do have 2 left feet.  just enjoy the moment

Answer 9

Don't get me wrong, I think dancing is great, but I'm not a big fan of elephants. I would try to dance more like a meerkat, or a wildebeast. The key is to dance with your ankles, and wear really big shoes. Works every time. Or dance with strobe lights. Can't tell that dancing is bad. Watch out for seizures.

I just wanna do hood rat stuff wit mah friends.

Answer 10

Take dance lesson at a good, reputable studio.  Unitl then... keep on dancing, it'll help you get  rid of some of that belly.

Answer 11

Practice, it will help. Maybe take some dancing lesson to

Answer 12

Practice more and work on your balence and gracefulness. If you know you cant dance....do it anyways for fun...just dont expect to become a professional dancer(sorry)

Answer 13

I also think you should just enjoy yourself and if someone says something about it say "bite me".

Answer 14

Take lessons, watch people dance and try to copy them or try new styles of dance.

Answer 15

woah, who cares ! :)

if you got a passion doing what you do, why stop?

just practice practive practice

or study moves and reinact them.
