Crash course in dancing for dance floor game?
10-31-2013, 03:51 PM
As tall lanky uncoordinated guy I avoid dance floor like plague, but I wanted to change that for a long time. I tried partner dancing classes (ballroom and latin), but didn't like it and felt like it doesn't translate that well to clubs.
If you would design a crash course for dancing in the clubs, say 10-20 hours, what would it be?

Le Roc (based on Jive dancing) is a pretty good start since all it needs is a 4/4 beat, which pretty much all music played in clubs has. Any dancing which doesn't rely on a specific rhythm works well since you can mix it up for the beat you're dancing too. (Have a listen to Salsa, Cha Cha or Bachata music and you can hear each has a distinct rhythmic feel). Although for beginners they tend not to focus at all of footwork or fluidity of movement, both of which are pretty important.
So I would recommend Salsa as well (particularly Cuban style as well as Spanish) to get used to moving your hips more and to learn some footwork as well. Le Roc can be your base of moves but dance it with a Salsa feel and you can pretty much partner dance to anything. Ballroom is very strict so doesn't transfer so well to clubs, given it's rigidity and the fact that the girls won't be likely to be a ballroom dancer herself so you want something where your lead is all she needs. It's always down to the guy to lead the dance so get used to giving strong commands through your hands and body language, you might need to slightly over-exaggerate with drunk girls.
In conclusion: Le Roc (or some kind of jive style) for the moves, Salsa for the movement and from both you will pick up how to lead.

Use the search feature! Samseau's classic guide is all you need to get started:

That's an interesting perspective, that I have not heard before.
The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth.

My club game on the dance floor is like this:
Stand next to a girl and tell her in her ear: "I love your height so much"
Then take my right hand and place it just above the crown of their heads.
They LOVE to hear this.....I never get a negative response from this. Of course it helps that I'm 6'5" and I mostly go for 5'8" - 5'11" tall girls lol. But heck I lie and use it on 5'6" girls in heels that front like they're 5'10.
Or my other go to move on the floor I take all 5 of my fingertips and gently dig into their upper backs as they're walking by or turned away from me.
It's not aggressive or threatening and they like the feel on that portion of their backs. Some ignore it and I don't press further and try to look desperate at their rejection.
Most however smile and wait for me to follow up. But I never get a negative bitch response. And I live in Toronto of all places lol.
