How to Dance

The subject line says it all. Just how does one dance? And I’m not looking for any answers like just let yourself go and it will happen. Any and all help is greatly appreciated because parties just don’t seem right when you’ve got the alcohol but don’t really know how to dance.

I’m really not sure what sort of answers you’re looking for here, JCL1013. What kind of dancing? Flamenco, swing, waltz, and jig are all completely different, for instance, and none of them is much like the stuff you do at a techno dance club. Even assuming we knew what you meant, I’m not sure how we’re supposed to answer over a text-only forum: At the very least, it would take pictures of step diagrams and people doing the dance in question, and optimally face-to-face instruction.

Okay. I’ll try to be more specific. The type of music is either top 40 or rhythm and blues. I’m not looking to do anything impressive, just enough to get me by and be able to have a good time. I’m sorry that I can’t be much more specific than this, but my dancing skills are nearly non-existent and I’m not really sure how else to ask this question.

Get a friend to teach you. I agree with Chronos - this isn’t something that you can learn from a message board.

Or have several drinks beforehand. Then you won’t care. :slight_smile:
