Don't Forget About Your Upper Body

 

Far too many times I see men out at public events, clubs and formal Galas - trying to dance but failing miserably because they have forgotten to move their upper body. Moving your legs is great, it’s the first half of getting started (so congratulations on getting that part going) but you’re not done yet. Sway your arms, move your elbows, move your shoulders... something! But don't just move your legs and hold your upper body stiff as a board, you're making a fool of yourself (no offense). If you can move your arms, do it. But don't get repetitive; add some variety. Dancing with someone who dances like a robot isn't fun and can be a major turnoff for women. Keep relaxed, put a smile on, and move your arms. Remember to use your torso, back and shoulders to compliment your arm movements. If you have a few tricks up your sleeve, pull them out when you feel comfortable.

 

 

Make Sure You Are Comfortable With What You are Doing

 

This includes dancing with, in front of, or around other people but this also includes the setting your dancing in. Make sure you are comfortable in the location you are dancing. If you are not comfortable it will show, and you will stick out. Just relax and dance on your terms, to the songs you like, around the people you like and in a location that's good for you. Remember dancing is supposed to be fun. If you're not comfortable you're not going to have fun. Being comfortable is one of the most important things when dancing because it shows. The more you sweat, fret and worry the more you are going to stick out. Remember you can't just stand on the dance floor and not dance, so only jump on the dance floor when you're ready to dance.

 

Stay on beat

 

You should never be the guy at the clubs, reception, formal, gala or any place really, where you are the only person who isn't dancing on beat. Even if there are other losers there who aren't dancing to the beat, that's their problem -don't make it yours. An important tool to help you stay on beat is to know the tempo of the song you're dancing to; This will prevent you from going 100 kilometers an hour in a 50 zone or vice versa. The other important tool is to find the rhythm of the song. A good way to nail the rhythm is to see if you can clap to the beat; if you can, you have nailed the rhythm of the song - so dance to it. After you have found the rhythm of the song, staying on beat should come naturally.

 

When Picking a Partner...

 

In a nightclub setting you will most likely want to dance with a partner; perhaps a woman you would like to meet or maybe just a friend, but their are some important rules you should remember. Try to dance with someone who isn't going to outshine you; it is important that you can keep up with her. Try to dance with someone who is comfortable with what they are doing. If they are not comfortable you can find yourself in a very awkward position. Pick someone fun. Looks are important but if she is no fun she can become a real drag real fast. And most importantly: Don't get upset by rejection. If she doesn't want to dance with you don't let it ruin your night. Children whine about this shit but a grown man shouldn't. Move on, find another girl and have a good time. If you’re having a good time and you show it, they will want to dance with you!

 

Work hard, practice and follow these simple tips and you will be a master of the dance floor in no time. So relax and get comfortable because the rest is all up to you. If you would like to know more about United1ne you can visit them at their website: www.united1ne.com.
