Lest keep it real - I can't dance

Lestat

MVP
EF VIP
So I'm 30 now, I always thought that by this age I wouldn't need to ever dance again. But I still have friend's wedding, company parties, concerts, and the occasional night out to a dance club. I usually avoid the dance floor at all costs. I'm a tall white guy, that has been my excuse. I feel like I have rhythmn, I love music and listen to a lot, especially hip hop. I've just never been able to dance.

I have to admit, its limited me in my dating life at times, women love a guy who can move on the dance floor, its sexy, its suggestive, its a positive quality that many women look for. I was told by an ex girlfriend that if I learned how to dance I'd be able to get any woman on the dance floor. That is quite a statement.

So I'm wondering, do you dance? If so, did it just come natural to you, or did you learn? What would you suggest is the best way for someone to learn?
 
that's too bad, most girls love a guy who can dance

actually, I dont' even think that matters so much, as a guy who WILL dance....just have a few drinks and get out there and make an ass out of yourself

you could always take a dance class....dunno about a hip hop dance class, but any kind of dancing will at least give you some idea how to move with some rhythm, and a little bit of confidence.

Exactly, you only have to be within one standard deviation of dancing skills to get major props from the bitches.

Have you actually seen the dancing skills of the white women putting pressure on you, many have less rhythm than you.

lol....that's true....but ugghh....major turn off....

I wasn't around many whiteys when I was growing up, so I think some of those dance skills seeped in.....I still like to be a bit boozed up though....

See, and you bodybuilders claim to be athletes.....study Rick Astley....he has the no rythm white man dance down to a tee.
 
The worst thing that white guys do when trying to dance....is doing TOO much and thinking they have to do more than they have to.

keep it simple dumbies!

you know the elaine dance? Just do the exact opposite of that

no weird convulsive moments, keep the hand/arm motions to a minimum until you get better. do a basic 2 step.........at least for hip hop or rock (which i don't really get how people dance to), or electronica/techno.
anything more involved than that (latin dances,etc) are tougher because it's more defined.

dance in front of a mirror once in awhile lol

I just cant bend and move my legs with any semblance of rythm. its like all my legs will do anymore is squat and lunge. twisting while doing either is a health risk for myself and those around me
 
I work in a bar, and from personal observation I have come to the conclusion that there should be a law against white people dancing in public.

Even a 300-lb black bitch who looks like a water buffalo can dance better than any white person.

Look at Rick, it's 80% upper body movement..stand in one place.....
 
Something else to consider.
Women equate dancing skills with bedroom skills. This is no lie.
We figure if you can't get any rhythm goining on the floor, god help us as to what you can do in bed...

I concur, I've gotten compliments from wiminz based on that theory. However,once you've dry humped one another it goes out the door.....she knows. For some reason you wiminz still want to dance....I don't understand...

We like to dance because if a guy is a great dancer it can be teriffic fun.

Nothing better than a guy that has the moves and confidence to strut his stuff and knows different dances so that he can move you around the floor in a secure and knowledgeable way.

Very sexy. Wimminz like (that) kind of control. Women like strong men in general, on the dance floor and otherwise. Strong, not ahole strong just nice strong.

I concur again. Every girlfriend I ever had , besides my ex-wife, loved it when I would pick them up on the dance floor and let them work their moves. One of my ex's had a friend that wanted me to do the same with her. I told her that I can't do that because I have a gf. My ex-gf heard that and told me to do it, I finally did after we had a mini argument and my ex-gf gave me shit for doing what she told me after a mini argument with her about the propriety of the action....wiminz are crazy.

If that were truly the case, then white people would be extinct.

But the Rick Astley dance is good enough for most white wiminz since their dancing skills are just as bad as white menz.

That is probably my only natural talent. I can dance well to ANYTHING. I was the captain and choreographer of my college dance team. Everyone on my mother's side of the family can dance, and it came naturally to everyone.

For a guy who can't dance, it isn't too hard to just get by in a night club. Some men have this cocky way of barely moving to the beat that looks passable. It is when people who can't dance try to dance and move around way too much that you begin to notice. So, if you want to just pass, learn to do something subtle side to side, and for the love of God, make sure you really are on the beat and not on a half count or something.

Now, if you really want to be GOOD, take lessons. Take lessons is different styles -- latin, ballroom, jazz, hip hop. It all helps you get in touch with the music and your body.
 
youll laugh but i can actually dance lol

if you want to learn how to dance with a girl most white goofy white guys need to do the following:

1) slow. everything. the fuck. down. none of this jerky epileptic shit. just slow down and move your entire body to the main beat of the music.
2) move your feet as much as you move your arms, which is to say, not too much. those guys who barely move their feet but flail their arms around like a swimmer look stupid.
3) understand that you are in 3 dimensional space. dont just move from side to side - move your centre of gravity up and down, back and forth, and pivot now and again. when you spin away from a girl, she cant see how much you suck while youre facing 45 degrees away. its a perfect cover. DO IT!
4) SMILE. look like youre having a good time. the reality is that youre up there wiggling like a retard, and so the only difference between being a good dancer and a shit one is how comfy you look
5) get in beat with your girl and involve her in your dance a little bit (not too much) take her by the hand etc.

i have taught even the biggest retard to dance with a girl on the floor, with artfully crafted directions as we all dance together ("dickhead, didnt i say move your feet? more. more. MORE. wait. too much. k. good. ") lol (id say his name but he might read this lol)
 
Oh, and God help us, don't do anything like point, clap or any other goofy ass shit with your hands.

I've heard this a few times..It makes me LOL at the logic of women.
 
Haven't read the thread so excuse me if this has been said already, but the key here is NOT dancing well. Not if you're talking about women at least. It's about your mindset and "fun factor". Women don't care if you're good or not. (NOTE: If you're absolutely terrible then they will care). It's about going out there without being all embarrassed or caring and just having fun. Shit dude, 99% of the goofy ass white chicks out there are absolutely horrendous on the dance floor. That's why they dance in large packs of friends and throw in pauses every 10 seconds - it's a terrible sight. But they still do it cause "tee hee, it's so much FUN!!!".

You need to just get over it, get out there and have fun. The rest will take care of itself. We all know you're a bit insecure (i.e. the need to try and constantly impress us with "some chick told me I could get any girl if I could dance" type statements in every thread") and that's your problem. You seem to have tons of fun with everything else you do - just get over yourself and have fun with the dancing too. Trust me, a dude who doesn't give a fuck and puts himself out there is ALWAYS sexier to a decent quality chick than "good dancing".

Sometimes when I am out at a friend's wedding and the drinks have been flowin' - I think, shit - look at me - white boy on the dance floor with rhythm. Then, a few weeks later I see the video - there's always a fucking video. I wonder a lot why it is I can't do this - why some people can look smooth and with it and I look like a guy trying to swat at an invisible bug doing the same moves. So, to make up for my lack of dancing ability - I try to use humor.

Hell yeah!

I use to get out on the dance floor and do crazy stuff like the water-sprinkler, roger rabbit, running man, robot, etc.

We always had a big group of people and had a blast. Who cares what others think.

We actually had people come up to us wanting to join in. We'd make a circle then take turns going in the middle doing whatever goofy dance we chose.

The whole place was laughing smiling and clapping
 
I am coordinated and agile, but I bet I dance awkwardly. Granted I never had anyone say I danced horribly, but still, I am white. :)

My favorite was always the "get drunk, go grind" dance. lol.

My female friends always told me my hand was on their ass the entire time dancing.
I was too intoxicated to remember most of the time.

Ah the good ole days.

I've did the worm before (not on a club floor though. On a party boardwalk in the Bahammas during Spring Break)

then another time I did the dance where you put one hand behind your head and the other on your angle as you kick it back (what's that called?) and accidently kicked a dude fairly hard in the stomach. lol.

Yes I was drinking.

lololol......i don't know about that. most of my eye-talian friends just have guido dance moves. same thing with all the italian dudes i see dancing at the clubs

however,the italian girls can dance better than ordinary white girls...in fact my two ex's who used to dance professionally were italian(one half, the other 100%) and those girls could MOVE. fuck..it was intimidating because we'd go out and they'd tear shit up.
 
you're thinking too much,. thats why. Have a few drinks and let lose. Dont blaze up though. I can dance pretty good, not great. Its all about letting lose, dont be too tight, allow your body to flow to the music. If you blaze up you might not want to dance at all.
 
btw, the old dudes (30 yrs and older) were the ones everybody laughed at and the girls thought were creepy.

Something to think about.
 
I'm a tall white guy. of course I can't fucking dance.. do I?? yes, sometimes but it involves large amounts of alcohol usually before.. I live in a completely different area though. Dance clubs aren't the big thing here
 
not caring about it is one thing, but it's kind of strange that you don't want your man to dance, all silly notions of manliness aside.
 
jackangel said:

Slow dancing fine, but most men cannot "bust a move" so I would rather not see that side of them.
Hey will all have our things right!
 
Wow great responses everyone.

I actually talked to a female friend of mine about this, she has done some professional hip hop dancing. And she really broke it down.

She said that most people who can't dance, try to move their ENTIRE body, thinking that more movement is good.

BUT, when you move your entire body, you end up looking STIFF. The basics of hip hop dance are the foot work, and body isolations. You move just one part of your body with the beat, and it looks good. Then you have your feet move with the beat, and you are set.

This is the type of advice I find practical and useful. She said that after one hip hop class I would know enough to dance for hours and not look stupid doing it. Once you learn the fundamentals you can get into more advanced moves that ultimately end up building off of those fundamental techniques!

I only think male dancing is cool if it's with a woman. Otherwise, there are much better ways to express yourself through body movement; like splitting a pick on the basketball court or juking through a defensive line on the gridiron. You know, guys stuff. Solo dancing is for women.

Put it this way; do you think anyone gives a fuck how Michael Jordan moves on the dance floor?
