Whats best way/place to learn how to dance real well in clubs?

xxxxx

Im very bad dancer but i would like to dance better in a club so where should i learn this quickest apart from just dancing a lot in the actual club?

simu

Home, mirror, music?

Gandalf23

I'm an incredibly bad dancer too

Why bother ? I think its more about having fun than impressing everyone with your moves. Practice I suppose.

seamus

If you really want to dance, watch what the other people are doing, and just copy them.

If you have little or no sense of rhythym, stay off the dancefloor.

Mate, most people in a club are **** faced and couldnt give a toss whether ur dancing decent. Just follow the beat, don't do anything mad with your arms and ur away.
Don't worry about everyone else on the dance floor. Do your own thing - worry more about getting close to some of the female species on the floor. Rememer it's not a dance competition - it's a drunken mating session

whiskeyman

big difference between dancing as a mating ritual and dancing with your mates coz your wasted and dont give a flying feck.
Which do you need help with?

Watch and learn from James Brown and Michael Jackson tbh.

It certainly is. People who dance to impress people with their moves are usually tossers anyway.

I dont think I would advise using the dancefloor as a practice space.

Assuming you listen to music at home, why not there. I dont mean in front of a mirror or anything, just while you are doing stuff.

As corny as this sounds you literally have to feel the music, close your eyes if it helps to get into the vibe. Try keep up with the latest dance tracks, if you heard the song before you will be more confident, you know where the beat/music changes are.

I for one love dancing, damn good at it too

Jimi-Spandex

[hippy] Just feel the music mahn! [/hippy]


Otherwise, take some salsa classes or something, they'll make you more co-ordinated and less self conscious on the dancefloor so you won't waste so much time worrying about how you look.

Bit a speed, few bangers and away ya go:D , you'll think you were **** hot on de dancefloor and go home delighted with yourself,lmao!

I'm not the best dancer either, I try to stand at the bar and look pretty.


I allways find it hillarious when some tubby knob* says to me "Oh yeah the dance floor is my place, the birds all love the way I dance" - ten minutes later you see a gap in the dance floor where he is dancing with his arse pointing west pushing everyone out of his way while his brylcream drips with sweat down his forhead. And no the "birds" dont love him. Eventually, through the numbers game some drunk girl will eventually sucumb to his greasy love powers and give him a snog. More than likely she will walk away with her chin and mouth covered in grease like she just ate a bag of chips with no hands.


Tubby knob usually wears black/blue/occasionally white jeans, a soccer jersey or checkered shirt under a cream wooley le coq sportif jumper. Hair is short back and sides and on a night out has anywhere between 1 + 6 tubs of brylcream preventing an alphalfa style hair boner, with a nice sheen off his scalp. Avoid this twat with all your strenth!!!!!

OP, what do you mean by 'dance well', what type of music / clubs are you talking about? In my expert opinion the music that allows the best dancing is not the music most people know as 'dance' music! I think most people with a proper sense of rhythm and beat would be better off dancing to R'n'B or funk than hardcore dance music

simple rule about dancing:
no matter what you do with your upper body, if you don't move your hips you'll look like a twat.

Join a morris dancing club :

Or perhaps the Billy Barry school?

It's been a while since I went to a discotech though!

There are some beauties

Dave!

Yeah, basically have a few drinks and then start copying everyone else... Nobody notices what you're doing unless you're doing something really extravagent (like a friend of a friend who kept going down and touching his ass off the floor and then coming back up -- and was dead serious about it!) and wierd. Just move your feet in time with the music and don't do the robot or any sh!t like that (there's a time and a place for that!:D), and you'll be grand!

You ever see the movie 'Hitch' with Will Smith in it? There's a scene where Hitch teaches the fat bloke how to dance -- do that! Nice and controlled!

Really the only thing that matters is you have fun, tbh. You'll see the amount of fat-bodies on the dance floor spinning around on circles on their back, and you'll realise that you're not a bad dancer at all at all. Chances are you won't see 99% of the people in the club again, and if you do, you won't realise it, and vice versa.

Enjoy!

azezil

Well I'm told i'm a good dancer (by very drunk people), I just watched a lot of music videos and tried to copy some of the moves.

Just go with the rythm.

TerrorFirmer

Failing any of the above, drink more, and you'll just stop caring.

Yeah this is also good advise.

I think Im a good dancer.. Everytime Im out dancing people stand around and look at me...

Or wait now..

Hold on..

el tel

get a DVD of Footloose and you'll be sorted.

The best tactic is to find a fire hydrant thats spraying water all of the vicintiy and gyrate in front of that. 2nd rate dancers with woolly ankle-warmers and space-boppers will soon dance around on the periphery of your dance area. People will arrive with a skipping rope and dance while skipping with orgasmic looks on there faces. Soon all the women fortunate enough to be in the area will be smitten and wet from your clever ploy, and the fire hydrant of course.

Your are now a slick moving, dancing winner.

wow thank you its so hard to find simple stuff on google and i never thought something as obscure as that could be found.

anyways i have some questions ill start from bottom up:
how do your toes move? do your balls of feet ever move off the ground much?
what about your knees? how often do they move or bend and how do you know in which direction they move in time with the music? You all saying move in time with music, but in which direction adn when?
also your hips same questinos and also all the other parts.

by the way it is r n b music.

Instructions for that 'Hitch' clip.

Have your feet at shoulder width apart. Get in time with the beat. Take one step to the right in time with the music and click your fingers. Take one step to the left in time with the music and click your fingers. Couldn't be any simpler.

Practice with a song with real strong base and rythem, like Janet Jackson - Rythm Nation or something like that.

do u actually do that on a dancefloor with rnb music in front of a partner? wouldnt that get monotonous after 3 minutes? do you just keep doing that forever is it ok?

I downloaded this stick figure animation program and haven't used it yet, so here's some samples of me dancing!





Note that I don't actually look like that and I don't know how to work the program!

Here is a sample of one of my friends dancing



Note how I look so much cooler!

lol, ok I'm having too much fun with this program, I really have to study...:v:

how do your toes move? -- they don't, nobody sees your toes...
do your balls of feet ever move off the ground much? -- yeah, when you're moving from side to side
what about your knees? -- mine tend to come up a bit when I'm moving around, yer... just bend them a bit!
how often do they move or bend and how do you know in which direction they move in time with the music? -- like I say, just keep them bent a bit so you're not like a robot... and they move when you're moving around
You all saying move in time with music, but in which direction adn when? -- listen to the drums and the beat of the song...
take eg. the Killers - somebody told me... click along kinda...
breaking my back just to know your* name*, seventeen tracks and I've had it* with this* gameeee...
Click on the boldened words/symbols(the beat isn't always on a word).
Kinda move from side to side and move your hands a bit (keep them around {your} nipple level) in time with the drums/beat. Hope I expained that ok...!
also your hips same questinos and also all the other parts -- my hips are generally fairly stationary. Don't be robotic, but don't have them flayling all over the place like you're a stripper or something!


Ok hope that made sense/helped -- remember I don't know a thing about dancing though, this is just what I do when I'm drunk!

Well when you're starting that's fine, once you're not swinging from the ceiling they'll be grateful -- most lads don't dance or can't dance! As you get better/more confident, you can be a bit more adventurous or whatever. Just go with the flow!

BTW, you don't have to be dancing with a girl or anyone at all! Don't feel like a gobsh!te for dancing on your own or with your male friend, I do it all the time! Just make sure you're drunk/tipsy.

It's just to get you started. Once you feel comfortable with that you can try other different things. Watch Michael Jackson's music video for 'Rock with You' or 'Don't Stop Till You Get Enough' and you'll be able to incorporate a few subtle dance moves into the Hitch moves. Lifting your right foot in off the ground and ever so slightly bending the leg you're standing on is another simple move.
