Alright, I fell onto this site trying to search for tips on how to dance and well I thought it was perfect to well hopefully help me. I'm just basically an ordinary teenage (female, dunno if it makes a difference but I'm pretty sure) who well I can slow dance and I can fast dance in the way of slow dancing with a guy but faster. I can find the beat easily and stuff but my only problems r when I go to my highschool dances I feel dumb because that's all I know. I am a lil' shy to try different moves that I c at the dance for fear that I'll do something stupid. What I'd liek is to be able to do something different, sorta like dirty dancing but not so much that it makes me look easy or sluty and ect. I wanna b able to really move and have fun. I'm just looking for some help and if you need more info just ask. Umm, other then that I've sorta read a lil' about grinding but didn't get far enough to well learn something..so plz..help me :roll: thxs :)
 
If it helps... I just wanna b able to dance like at a highschool dance..with my partner while 'fast dancing'. The music is mostly rap and r&b i guess... examples of the artists of the music would b Usher, Ciara, Beyoncé, ect.
 
Ok, I understand I wrote a lot and I'm not quite sure if I make any sense but is there any possible way I could type maybe certain details to get someone to help me? :? Just anything?!
 
Lot of posts in a short while! :o Welcome to df! You said that you started reading the grinding threads, but not enough to help you. Then, why don't you read them thoroughly so that you learn something? This will help you ask for help on more specific issues.
 
Ok, I restarted reading and stuff..it's not that I'm not learning anything maybe it's just that I just don,t get what's being said. I get the whole right to back to left thing cuz I do that already...a lil'..but that's all I do..like around me I'll see my friends..well ok one in perticular just go up and down the guy like crazy....I wanna do what she does but not..bcuz she makes herself look very sexual and stuff..like just too much...

This is a little general n2L. I agree with Sagitta, the first thing is to get more specific about what you want to do. (Afterall, don't you feel that it would be easier to ask for help in getting to *Paris*, than *somewhere in Europe* ?) :) If you can imagine exactly how you want to dance and tell us that, then others can give you better help.

Think back to a dance/movement that felt great and would like to do. See if you can describe it here. I'm sure DF members would love to help.

maybe a hip hop class would give you some more confidence. Generally, I would suggest that you quit worrying about how you look and try some stuff, have fun (because that's what dancing is about anyway), if you're committed to it (not hesitant) you are more likely to look like you know what you're doing regardless. Just do what you feel... keep an eye on people around you and try things you see them do. A bellydancing class might help you get in touch with your body also. There were some younger girls in one of my classes. It's sensual without being overtly sexual.
 
Alright, well I totally agree with the Paris instead of somewhere in Europe thing. When it comes to moves, well I basically am always in contact with my partner when it comes to fast dances. I always used to think I was following but just recently found out that I'm the one who leads. I want moves to make him feel hot. ???
 
The whole hip-hop class thing well the only person i knwo who teachs them is this girl in some of my classes at school which I don't really like. I'd love to take belly dancing bcuz I find it really cool but it's not offered where I live..then only person I know who's taken belly-dancing is my mom but I don't think she'd be into teaching me it since she took it when she was in highschool...a while back...
 
Alright, you know what...first thing I ned is actually to become really comfortable with dancing. Well ok the dancing part is okay. but dancing is sexy and well sometimes I'm just afraid to let go because I'm so nervous and afraid to mess up or to b labelled wrongly by others.
 
More people will show up to help need2learn. The number of posts has been way down during the holidays. I have no idea if this will help you but there is a thread index on club dancing. I think it has more than grinding. I don't do clubs so I can't personally help. Again people are away but they will show up again. Here is the thread index though it sounds like you've already seen it.

Alrighty, well I've got the basic grinding down pat I guess but the thing is I wanna improve on it..like add some flavor and make things interesting for my partner. Ok, not really improve but well expand what I can do. I really wanna heat things up on the dance floor..Ok, I do get that well posting is slow right now bcuz of holidays but well I don't even know when my nect highschool dance is so I've got tons of time..lmao..thxs for evry1's posts btw.
