How to dance at a night club?!

Fukuyama · 28-10-2009 09:45PM #1

Hey Guys

I'll be going to my first night club when I go eighteen in a few weeks...and obviously I'll have to dance.

My girlfriend has been going since she was sixteen and is pretty good at dancing etc and knows to to act etc in a night club... I'm a complete novice.

I've danced a few time like at wedding and house partys. I SUCK! the worse thing is that I know I suck - if I didnt I could just dance and wouldnt give a ****.

But I get an awful feeling when I dance (even for a few seconds). It's like my stomach tightens up...like the feeling you get when your ringtons is 'Staying Alive' and it goes off at a funeral...awful...I end up either looking really stiff or like my grand dad busting out the moves straight from 1945 when the war ended!

Please help...any advice
I've read loads of thing on the net about 'going with the flow' etc but I dont even know what the hell the flow IS!!

Thanks!!

Just..move..to the music

No one is going to be looking at you.

Ever nod your head to music ? That..except with your whole body.

Dance Badly you'll fit right in. I dance terribly but get away it.;)

Stand by the air conditioning and sway.

Go this weekend undercover, pretending to be a person 18 or more. That way, you can see 'how to act' etc , and they will never know it was you mwahahahaha.

You'll find most people doing this in a club in a few weeks. Watch it. Study it. DO IT.

You just bounce up and down if you got nothing else to do, probably put one hand up in the air, or if you're crazy two hands. You might feel uncomfortable, but rest assured, while you might feel like an idiot and not enjoy it, you're fitting right in. Anyway, you get used to it after a while.

nipps · 28-10-2009 09:53PM

Riddle101 · 28-10-2009 09:53PM

OP if you want to know how to dance properly at a nightclub you should do what these guys did:D

There's nothing funnier than a guy who can't dance

If it's indie/alternative music you're dancing to, just shuffle around, look slightly bored and like you've somewhere better to be.

DancingQueen:) · 28-10-2009 09:54PM

Just go with the music

It'll be akward for the first few minutes but you'll get used to it. Don't worry what anyone says they won't be looking at you anyway! And if you look around i'm sure the majority of the dance floor will be in the same position. Have fun

If you don't want to dance (it sounds like you don't) then why, prey tell, are you going to a nightclub?!?

If there is a hell, it's in a nightclub.

As hard as it is to stack the shelves?

Oh no believe me... Im not a nightclub kinda guy...I hate that stuff

But it's moreso my friends and an age thing...I'll have to go for social occasions anyway...birthdays etc... so I kinda have to dance etc...

We all have to do thing our friends like and we're not so fond of

but then I might grow to like night clubs once I get over my fear of dancing

Anyone any tips?
