    hav eyou watched the movie Hitch? theres a fun little scene in ther on how to dance, and how not to dance, as a guy. just, sway to the beat, more than anything else. try dancing at home to loosen y ourself up, get some pratice that way. enjoy yourself, more than anything else

    just let the music move you, you may look retarded but its fun as hell when its with your friends. +, if i saw someone dancing retarded at a dance, and they were just having fun with it, i'd hit on them or atless talk to them

    Just dance! Which I guess can be easier said than done. Try taking a dancing class and you'll feel a hell more comfortable dancing in public.


    I love dancing, and I used to not be able to dance in public at all.. but I started bellydancing and now I just don't give a fuck. I am comfortable with myself and I love dancing, I don't care what people think about me. I know I dance crazy.

    But then again you are in high school so a reputation is kind of important yeah?

    the only advice i have is drink heavily. the only time you will find me dancing is when im loaded and wont remember it the next day. I remember going to highschool dances and mixing drinks in the bathrooms....oh the good 'ol days :)

    Just practice infront of a mirror in your bedroom or something. Start with finding the beat of the music, maybe tap your foot in time with the music, then engage more parts of your body until you're totally feeling it and moving along with the music. Dancing doesn't have to be all fancy, or like you see on music videos. lol It's as simple as letting the beat carry you.

    At the dance, spot someone across the dance floor that you think is dancing well, and just mimic their movements until you feel comfortable on your own. Or, confide in a girl friend of yours that you feel close and comfortable with, and ask her to instruct you. Have her put her hands on your hips, or elbows and guide you. (bonus: I would think it was so cute if a guy confided in me that he couldn't dance, and flattered that he would trust me to teach him. :) )

    And if it's slow dancing that you're worried about...well, don't. There's seriously nothing easier...just don't step on her feet. lol

    Dancing is so easy. I am incredble at it :) Simply focus on your different limbs and move them to the music. That's it. Just rip off moves from people you see on TV and stuff - you know, raising the roof, robot type stuff, whatever. And yeah, don't be self conscious, because on any given dance floor chances are most of the people don't really know what they're doing, and you should be better than most already with my brief instructions to focus on your limbs and the rhythm and rip off moves
