Pull the fire alarm?

Just dance like you don't give a shit.

Noone came to see you failing

What I mean is that I wouldn't even know what to do if you tell me to dance now. It doesn't matter if it looks bad, no one expects anything else I imagine, but I don't want to be that creepy guy standing in the corner, and I can probably do a bit better than just making random movements with my arms and legs :)

Get on the floor for a slow dance to make yourself look competent and otherwise just fuck around and make it fun.

I take it it's gonna be a type of dance you do in a club or something, not like waltz-y, huggy, classical music type, right?

Main thing - remember to move all you limbs, not moving your hands looks really creppy, while not moving your feet around makes you look boring. Do a kind of wavy kind of thing with your arms, move your sholders, bend knees and do like a little steps around the dance floor, without actually moving anywhere.

I actually had the same problem a couple years ago. All my friends are into partying, and I hate dancing. I'm 198 cm (that's like 6 6? metric FTW), white and a male. That's like all three possible reasons not to dance

Steephie, find a mirror, start dancing facing the other way, turn around and decide if you like particular moves/steps/motions… and find the ones you like. Then watch some videos on Youtube and go with the easy moves/steps/motions. In high school when I was staying with a family in Germany, we all went to a ball, the culminating event of a dance school to which the families of the mostly high-school students came to all dressed up and ready to dance. Maybe 150 people, waltzes, foxtrots, like that. Well being from America and not having learned those dances, I stayed at the table of the family I was staying with, until a 30-something year old unmarried woman friend of the family insisted that I dance with her and dragged me out onto the floor where about 40 couples were foxtrotting. About one minute into a mangled foxtrot, she broke away and started dancing very exuberant early 70's style dance moves, in the middle of a sea of foxtrotters. Every eye in the place was on us as I had no choice but to follow her lead. Heads were whipping around to watch us as each partner twirled around to where they could see us, all grinning, and the family I was with was laughing so hard they were almost crying, not loudly of course. I put up with it for about another minute and then left her out on the dance floor doing her own thing. Well the moral of the story is--I think that whatever happens as you are dancing, it won't be as embarrassing as that experience I had.

Yassem, at a county fair here there is a dance floor with various types of music being played throughout each day of the fair, and free dancing for anyone who wishes to participate. I think the best dancers I have ever seen were a man about six feet-five or so and a woman in heels that put her well over six feet. They knew how to make their height work for them, with long flowing moves that don't look good with shorter people. They had obviously been dancing together for years. So don't give up on yourself/don't sell yourself short. :p)

Take some PCP.

We'll need more context - where are you dancing? Why?

Watch other people dancing. Then take away moves you think you can do. Have a beer, but not ten.

"I don't want to be that creepy guy standing in the corner"

So don't be. Just get out there, and as mentioned above, mimic others and dance like you don't care what anyone else thinks. Don't try to impress anyone, just move and have fun.

Jesus christ this forum resembles 4chan more and more every day. How do I dance? What if a woman claims I raped her? My god, is aspergers really so prevalent among webDip members?

Get a game console and practice by yourself. Dance Central, Dance Dance Revolution, etc. These will give you a better sense of rhythm and teach you some moves. As a parent of teen and tween girls, it's pretty crazy seeing how much dance sophistication they have at their age just from playing these games.

Lmao Synapse
/rant done?

Why can't I get the image of steephie in black spandex with a poofy white shirt and glitter make-up on twirling across the floor out of my head...

SYnapse - you certainyl ARE what you accuse others of being. How ironic. NOT.

Moron.

@SYnapse: what do you do if you don't like your driving instructor again?

And I'm not really desperate or anything, I just have nothing better to do than worrying about my moves until it starts... And webdip always gives a unique insight, although often useless.

We're going later now btw, in case anyone wonders why I'm talking instead of dancing :)

@krellin: it's outdoors and not the time for a spendax. Twirling could be troublesome looking at space as well :)
Also, I ran out of glitter make-up, but I'm wearing the white shirt already!

Mujus - Dude! She was hitting on you! 5 more minutes and she would have dragged you off to a closet somewhere for a bit of dancing on the floor in the round.

Steephie - it's never not the time for dudes in spandex leggings...chicks will dig you.

"And webdip always gives a unique insight, although often useless."

+1

Yeah, I agree with Draugnar's sentiment there: mujus went through what he considered shame but didn't go through for the reward :)

Steephie, a couple of years later I was selected from some college folk dancing classes to be in a German folk dance troupe. I turned it down though lol.

@ SYnapse:

Sorry dude, but this forum has a long way to go before it's as cool as 4chan.

Maybe SYnapse should post a picture of himself in his panda bear suit.

Perhaps you will find this video informative:

If that's too complicated just do what YJ does.... smile, lean in close to the young lady, and say, "Sorry babe, but papa SYnapse does all his dancing horizontally."

Why do you tell young ladies your name is "papa SYnapse", YJ?

Posing as a famous advocate for the downtrodden just in the hope that it'll get you some tail is a bit low even by your standards, surely?

Don't misunderestimate me, jamie, there's not such thing as too low for my standards when it comes to getting tail.

"My god, is aspergers really so prevalent among webDip members?"

Yes.

See, YJ... Your problem is you like women with tails. Human human don't have tails unless they are dressed for a performance of Cats.

Here's a fine example of how low an otherwise good man will go to get a piece of tail: I became an Officer At Large for the MSU DEMOCRATS my sophomore year at Michigan State to get a little tail...

Yeah, it was worth it, because as soon as she quit returning my calls, I quit being a Democrat again.

ROFL SYnapse. I've never even considered such a horrific thing might exist. Delightful. I think I'm going to buy one and make a fat girl wear it.

"Yeah, it was worth it, because as soon as she quit returning my calls, I quit being a Democrat again."

So when you refer to libtard bullshit, you're talking about the girl, not the ideology? Wow, krellin, you had me fooled.

Well, I had pretty bad pains in my legs during the whole party, so that meant I couldn't even really try to dance (or jump for that matter) after all, but I did end up bubbling (is that the right word? If not, grinding maybe?) with 3 girls at once at some point and had some more fun, so that's a successful party I'd say, especially given the circumstances, although it would have been much better without the pain of course...

And I wasn't even drunk :)

How cute is he ...... bubbling with girls <sweet>

Just making clear it wasn't exactly a failure :)

Don't let them bring you down steephie - I'm 33 and the right kind of casual touch or even look still makes me delighted and happy. More so even than just banging some skank. Bubble away, son, and love every minute of it.

Dirty dance to your hearts content, Steephie. It doesn't get better than that at your age.

Except for when you're getting a handie from Marlana Thom under the bleachers at gym class. That's better.
