Need Help with Dancing?

[SpillMeOut]

Hello i was thinkig of going to a night club tonigth that plays hip hop. I was just messing around and was wondering what this is called and if it is good enough just to dance at a club. I have never danced before but want to get into it, mostly not for the dancing as much as the social interaction.

Ok your standing with feet about a foot apart. you step left with your left foot. then step left with your right foot and that brings your feet back close together. Than with your right foot rock back. Than still with the right foot step right and up back to where you started. Step left with your left foot and bring it next to your right. than rock step and repeat.

Is this a dance or is it custom? I was just messing around and thought it might be a dance.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, just something simple to dance with.

See now? That's what I love to see -- people willing to try it out and just go dance. You rock! :rocker: I don't recognize the step pattern you describe (somebody else might.) But, if you're moving your feet and body to the rhythm of the music, with just a little confidence, nobody in the club'll know the difference.

Have fun, SpillMeOut. I know you will. :D

hmmm...It works. I just tried it. One thing you can try to make it look better - not that you aren't doing it - is moving your upper body and hands/shoulders etc. I've seen people who just do a simple step and make it look nice with the way that they move the rest of their body, particularly in interacting/flirting with a dance partner.

If you are comfortable with yourself...it shows...and that is important. And as Pygmalion said It is great that you are willing to go out and experiment, unlike so many beginners/newbies. :-)

And welcome to df. :-)
