You might think that all your dance party fears are over once you've found the perfect date. But what if now you're worried about yourself not knowing how to dance at the ball. Fear not: to dance at the ball, you just need to move your feet, and learn some slow dance moves, and relax while joking with friends. If you want to know how to dance at the ball and have an amazing and magical night, follow these steps.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Dance to a Fast-Tempo Song
Step 1. Move your head to the beat of the music
When you're on the dance floor for the first time, you may feel a little nervous, whether you're standing next to a date or standing with a group of your friends. The first thing you should do once you hit the dance floor is feel the beat. Once you get it, move your head to the music, and start moving your body up and down a little bit, so you can really feel the tempo of the music.
- Position your shoulders inward. Move them up and down and along with your head..
- Don't just move your head up and down like a robot. You can move a little left, then right, as if you could feel the music.
Step 2. Move your feet according to the tempo
If it's a faster song, you have to move fast; otherwise, just move your legs slower. If you are a beginner, then you do not need to put too much effort in the leg area. Just bend your knees and move up and down to the music. The important thing is that you have to keep your feet moving, so that you look like a pro.
Once you're comfortable with just moving your legs, you can do the "two-step." In this dance, all you have to do is step your right foot about one foot to the right, then move your left foot to the right, and gently press down. Then, take another step starting by moving your left leg to the left, and repeat
Step 3. Arm movement
Now that your head, shoulders, and legs should be getting to the rhythm, you can start moving your arms too. Remember that ideally, you should start moving all parts of your body at once. Starting with your head and legs, which will help you feel the rhythm, you don't have to keep your arms at your sides like a dead fish. You can move your arms up and down to the music, lower your knees, or even act like you're dancing while washing the windows.
- Combine everything. Dance with your arms moving freely by your side, and allow them to move freely in the air.
- Don't underestimate the power of the "raise the roof" movement at the right time.
Step 4. Rock your hips inward
Your hips are an important entity and they should not be ignored. Move up and down with the music, or shift left and then right, so your hips move in sync with your feet. Ladies, if you're not feeling shy, you can even shake your hips even more to the music.
Step 5. Look at what other people are doing
Try to see your friends on the dance floor. Choose a friend who looks confident and has a good rhythm. See what kind of moves he makes? Then copy. No problem. Pick something simple to do with your arms and legs when you get tired of your simple moves, and see what happens. If your friend looks cool while doing it, then you can try to do the same.
You can also dance by playing imaginative songs. If it's a fun song with a regular beat and people are clapping, join them
Step 6. Sing some lyrics
This is the safest thing to do when you don't know what to do. Look at your friends, recite the lyrics, shake your head, and make it look like you're having fun with the song no matter how you look.
Step 7. Move around
Don't just stand in one place or dance in one place. Move by moving your feet and find your friends. Keep things interesting and have some light conversation with your friends or date if you can do it. One thing you can do is make a circle with your friends and then take turns moving to the center of the circle to show off your dance moves. Don't be nervous: when you're dancing in the middle of a circle, it's very common silliness.
Step 8. Have a fun time dancing with your partner
If your date is shy and doesn't want to join you and your friends, wait until a few songs are over before pulling him onto the dance floor. But if you're dancing with your date to a fast-paced song, make sure you follow the same beat, stand at a comfortable distance, and have fun. Some schools have rules about how closely you can dance with your partner, so make sure you know what your school's rules are. After that, please have fun.
- During a fast song, you can still maintain the same position as you would in a slow song: a guy can put his hands on a girl's hips, and the girl can put her hands around his neck.
- If you want to cuddle your partner, make sure the school allows it. Because the movement feels more sensual than other movements.
Method 2 of 3: Dance to the Slow Song
Step 1. Position your arms properly
If you start with the right foot, then you must first place your hands on your partner. To dance to a slow rhythm, the arm movements are more simple like traditional dances. Boys just put their hands on both sides of the girl's waist, and the girl has to wrap her arms around the guy's waist.
- Depending on how intimate you want to dance, you should dance about a foot and a half (30-15 cm) away from your partner.
- A girl has to adjust the height of the shoes. They should wear shoes that don't make them taller than or to the same height as their date, or they may feel a little awkward during the dance.
Step 2. Position Your Feet Correctly
Face your partner with at least 1-2 meters between your heads. Don't stand on your toes or you'll bump into each other; instead, stand straight with alternating legs. Keep your toes about 1-1.5 feet (30 cm-45 cm) apart so you can move from side to side with ease.
Step 3. Start moving
Slow dancing will get easier once it's done. Just keep your arms in the correct position, keep a comfortable distance from your partner, and rock back and forth, shifting your center of gravity from one leg to the other without lifting the leg. If you want to twist or shift a little, just move your feet in rhythm with your partner.
If you're comfortable with this simple dance, you can try doing a "touching step," which means you can step to the right with your right foot, and then continue with your left, pressing down, then reverse the motion by stepping to the left with your left foot. you, let the right foot follow it, and so on. Make sure to keep your feet in sync with your partner
Step 4. Don't worry about assuming traditional values
In "Real conditions" when dancing slowly, the boys lead while the girls just follow. In this version, the guy has to hold one of the girl's hands and lead her in the direction he wants; the girl had to follow to keep them on one track. But when you're talking about slow dancing at the ball, it really isn't necessary. Because you just have to move from side to side.
- If a boy wants to lead, just follow his lead and move in the direction he moves; but in most cases, you won't move too much.
- Remember to dance to the beat of the music. Not all songs for slow dance have the exact same rhythm, so you'll have to move a little faster or slower depending on the beat.
Step 5. Have a little chat
If you and your partner are truly in love, then rest assured, you can dance together while seeing the longing in each other's eyes. But for most people, slow dancing in silence can be a little boring or awkward, so don't be afraid to talk to your partner, tell a joke, or try to make small talk a little. You can say you love or hate the song that's playing, compliment your partner on their performance or dancing skills, or talk about other couples around you. Do whatever you have to do to have fun and feel good
Method 3 of 3: Bring Out Your Silliest Dance Moves
Step 1. Cow milking motion
This is absolutely ridiculous and classic. Simply bend your knees, lift, then raise your fists in the air, one at a time, alternating as if you were milking a cow. Do this for thirty seconds or so with a serious expression on your face, and everyone around is sure to laugh and join in.
Step 2. Perform the running man movement
This is another move that will keep you and the other person laughing for at least a minute or two, or maybe until it's not funny anymore. This movement is very simple. simply lift one leg high in the air until your thigh is parallel to the floor, then return your leg while lifting the other leg. Keep repeating this lifting and placing of your legs while swinging your arms excessively at your sides, as if you were prancing, or pushing your arms back and forth, like going skiing or elbowing someone.
This move is perfect for a Carlton Bank-esque smile
Step 3. Beat the pounding beat
Inspired by the Jersey Shore cast moving up and down as they punch their fists into the ceiling, alternate with one fist raised and one fist downward. Just choose the song and go for it. Don't be shy if you occasionally shout, "Yes, baby!" from your lips.
Step 4. Car wash motion
Bounce your knees side to side alternately starting with your right and left hand as if you were rubbing your car in a circular pattern, move with one hand in a circular motion for about three seconds before rocking to the other side and use the other hand to repeat the same movement.. This move will be really cool if you sync with some friends.
Step 5. Comb your hair
First, try to express your face as if to say everyone knows you're cool. Then, turn to the left and put your right hand on the hair as if you were combing, make yourself look perfect and later you will look more perfect. Bounce your leg up and down as you do this, then repeat on the other side. Keep doing it until your hands get tired, or until you feel like you can't do it any better.
Step 6. Do a stagger with your friend
You can do this step at least 2-3 times at the dance before all eyes are on you. Take on the role of a fisherman: keep your line and your friends far apart, your friend will act as a fish. Keep bouncing like a fish, so you don't just sit there. Then, lean back and start a swaying motion toward your friend as if she were a very heavy fish. Your friend has to puff out his cheeks and keep his hands away from his mouth, to act like a fish you've got by.
Step 7. Do a Harlem shake
When the song starts, wait for one lead person to dance around and take control. Once you've got the cue, do whatever movement you want, do it with enthusiasm: lean back, swing your arms wildly behind you with your knees bent, hit the air, shake your head from side to side, and feign a seizure. Don't worry: these dances tend to only last a minute or so, so you can finish before you start seeing specks of bright white light before your eyes.
Step 8. Get ready to burst out with erratic dance moves
Each dance party will play some songs that have been designated for dancing. It's great fun to take a break and think about what else you want to do, usually all you have to do is master a few dance moves and do what everyone else is doing. If you don't want to sit outside like a shy person when one of these songs is playing, then become a pro at dancing to these songs first:
- "The Cupid Shuffle"
- "Teach Me How to Dougie"
- Soulja Boy's "Crank That"
- "The Macarena"
- "The Electric Slide"
