How did you learn to dance?

Pardon the rude AF guy who commented first.

You are absolutely right , high SMV chicks love a guy who can dance well but remember , these are usually the ultra high SMV chicks(rich cultured girls) : unless if there is a specific one you are after then save it for later when you are consistently in the presence of those types of bitches. If you are poor as fuck and aren’t breaking out anytime soon then anything beyond basic slow dancing is pointless if your partner can’t dance well.

If you really want to learn then I started with basic Zumba which showed me how stiff my body was and I really emphasized flexibility and flow movement after that point. You can kinda do it yourself via YouTube or you can man up and learn with people in a studio and have a good time

Once you kinda loosen up, I shit you not: I used tinder to find a dance partner and was like: “hey wanna learn how to dance?” . You can find one all over the place , even in real life at mixers and whatnot.

And I got a few yeses and one was all I needed in order to commit. Most girls also wanna learn but they need a guy partner as well and most guys don’t give a f**k or can’t commit to consistency.

Do this , pick a style you both like and show up for class!!!

beginner dance nights are an incredible way to get some good numbers. lots of good looking women and many are single. any major city will have multiple venues holding lessons every week for cheap. usually i run daygame for numbers, but i go to salsa and swing nights almost every week and have gotten dates out of it.

I think this is a very good skill to have for going out. I'll definitely have to take some classes eventually.

realize that the vast majority of people in a normal popular club aren't really doing specific dance moves, they are just sort of bobbing with the beat and dry humping. if you go to some club playing house music there usually will be like 3 people who legitimately know house dance moves and junping around doing flips and shit, and 300 people just moving with the beat. anywhere that plays EDM, urban, top40, etc music is like that.

the exception are things like salsa (which frequently have a beginners class before the dance floor opens for real), country dance halls, swing and ballroom dancing, etc. places where people specifically go to dance that style of dance to that type of music bc it's not really used in a more general type of dance club. if you want to learn how to tango and go to tango dance nights with other people who are also into tango dancing, take a tango class. but those specific dance moves aren't really going to be useful very often outside of that context.

if you go to a typical top40 type dance club and start dancing with girls, they just want to see if you are confident and relaxed and how well you can move your body rhythmically. no one is expecting you to use any kind of formal dance moves. girls are generally bad dancers, they're just not scared of dancing. most of them are actually awkward as fuck if you pay attention to their dancing.

I bought private dance lessons. I don't recommend that. Super expensive 1 on 1. It's a long term thing going through steps.

The dance nights for beginners was like $15 , little liquor... they needed guys. I learned more there juyst getting comfortable

I think the big thing is to just enjoy the shit out of it. Dancing didn't evolve because someone said, "Step there. Now step there. Now kick." It evolved because people were moving to the music however it made them feel.

So get your ass on the floor and dance like you absolutely have to, and give not the slightest of fucks about anyone else's opinions of how you're dancing. Practice by yourself. Put on headphones and dance in the living room. Then, in the club, pretend you're still in that living room.

Enjoy yourself. If you're not enjoying it, why do it?

Dancing is about rythmically chaining movements together. Learn different dances then put them together. I learned how to move by watching and practicing MJ when I was a kid. Then every other dance I would see that was cool I would practice that as well. Now I can just chain everything together and make my own moves.

Most high SMV chicks want to dance at some point.

Let aside I doubt this, who the fuck gives a shit what those dumb bitches want?
