I am not talking about grinding. I am referring to dancing with a girl maybe 1-3 feet apart.

Ya breakdancing is obv gonna score some points if you are halfway decent, the only downswide is you probably have to be somewhat sober, and i imagine that if i knew how to breakdance i would try it drunk and look lik ea fool rolling on the ground or some ****.

Also, my go to move is also dancing, its like crack for girls who are currently dancing by themselves....At the last party i went to it was very late when i showed up..liek 20 people in basement on dance floor, most in couples, a lot of dudes standing, and like 1 really cute girl. She was obv with her friend who was currently dancing with a dude. I think the dude had a ****ty wingman friend who was standing on the floor, about 5 feet fomr hot girl and just not dancing. now i was at the point of the night where i couldnt care less what happend so iw as going to have fun, it was my buddies house and was literally a 20 second wlak back to my house...so i just found an empty spot and started dancing, occasionally glancing at the girl, in which she was about 90% of the time eying me(then again a lot of people were cuase my school is lol white, and obv white dudes cant dance), but i just stuck to doing my thing.

I figured asking the girl to dance could be high risk seeing as although the guy next to her obv has no game, he probably at least asked her to dance at some point(if not god help him). after about 5 min of dancing, the girl walked over to me and started doing her little jig(a girl jig i guess, it was fairly good for being in snadlas and whatnot), then she closed the gape i smirked at her and we started front grinding, than she turned around..etc

edit: we danced until it was five of us down there, we alternated between grinding and just dancing while staring/flirting with each other...the five people were: me, her, her friend, her friends partner, and the dude i mentioned earlier just standing there...lol, i dont know if he was a close friend of her, a friend of the dude, or what, but it was pretty lol in my head

Earlier in the night I was at a highlighter party at another buddies house, this party as actually fairly good for dancing/getting girls, had a good ratio, good environment but not sick packed. I ahd been to that house before and the girl that lives there and invited me knew i could dance, i was on the pong table with my friend(the only reason i wasnt out dancing cause my friend isnt really the smoothest of cats, and when i go out with him i usually just chill with him, we play pong, than he tells me hes leaving than i dance with peeps, obv costs me cause a lot of girls find "mates" but whatever, i can go out and not try to get girls early on and have fun). Anyways the girl that invited me came over while i was playing pong and asked me to get the dance party started cause a lot of people were not dancing. So i went there, stood in the middle of dance floor and started dancing, than i tired to play match maker and just move around hooking up dudes who are standing on sidelines(like seriously wtf is this ****?) with girls in groups dancing without a "mate", i tried my best..... Anyways to make a long story short, learn how to dance, its +EV

lol thats funny. Are you black though?

I agree that dancing is +EV. There has been more and more occurences where just getting up there would be soooo+ev but I pass because its a no-win game...either i get up there and look like a fool or i say no and the girl has fun without me. I don't know ****, but i know girls like to dance. Add to the fact that a lot of guys don't know how or just refuse this is an edge that I or anybody should use.

Really hard to just tell you basics, a lot of it is self confidence, but also not carrying about if others are impressed. A lot of songs that get played at hosue parties have very simlar beats/rhythms so you can get a limited back of tricks and just learn how to mesh them and be fine. Also if you want to learn to dance, wearing a hat can but great(im not sure but do most clubs allow baseball type hats?), hate to get PUA in this bitch, but if you and a girl are eyeing each other while dancing solo, just stare her down, do some moves than place your hat on her head...they usually fall for it and well either start grinding right away or at least get closer. A lot of my moves are with my feet, some with hands, some hat play(rotating from backwards to forwards while spinning type ****).

Mittens said dancing takes a long time to learn, not sure if thats true, i have been dancing since i was young, so maybe, but then again i have never taken a formal dance class(not sure my school has a hip hop group/class).

I am white, i just say lol white dudes cause most white dudes claim they cant dance, merely cause they dont put any effort into it.

I also do a lot of popular type dances, but usually in a playful manner(like a 2 step, lean wit it, (**** dougie and superman i would never degrade myself). I dont do it all that much but when i do its with a smile and in a stlye where people obv can tell im just trying to get other people to do it and have fun....

edit: i will search for a couple youtube vids of simple dance moves i have done that i think cn be easily learned)

off a very quick search this is a good vid for an example of stuff i might do at a club(especially gliding), but obv this has a lot to do with shoes and the floor so wont look as good as this but there are moves you can do on pretty much any cement flor as long as your shoes dont have suction cups on them lol

ilm, im actually curious if this is the type of dancing you do? IM always curious for more styles,

ok so this guy is probably very good for what you guys are looking for:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0q5gBK-Z8E

that is really good dancing.

Custer,

MUST HAVE VIDEO OF YOU DANCING LIKE THAT.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN.

PLEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

I mean you guys also need to prob take baby steps, and just simple things like hes teaching is prob good to start......

Maybe if Karak has a dancing competition as a SL contest...lol, but i would have to find a good floor, might just do it in socks on my kitchen floor, which isnt that great cause its too slippery but still better than shoes that i have........

Edit: aslo im not as good as guy in the vid but i can do the moves(except the moonwalk that requires really good shoes for it, or at least i tell myself this)

edit #2: he also tuts a lot in that video, which i never do, i just dont think it looks that good f not in a group snyced together...meh

that intrusctional video is just what I needed. Some very basic moves .

That guy who was sliding was amazing, and would take a long time to get good at. Thanks for those videos I didn't even think of using youtube.

This is about my level too, and it works to a point, but it's more part of the general "hey I''m a fun guy and confident and high value and ride me" package. Pulling girls that you wouldn't otherwise because of your dancing requires a level of ability that takes a lot of work.

A basic pop-lock course will each you the sort of isolation that can let you do a lot of really cool ****, but its lolhard in my opinion.

WOW best advice ever ITT for me...just watched the whole movie for the first time and now it actually looks pretty hopeful for me hahahahah


thanks man

I also get the fun bonus in that I look like I hang out with Patrick Bateman, but I've been listening to nothing but hip hop since I was 5, so I dance better in boatshoes than pretty much anyone ever expects.

bleh poping and locking is a redic dacne style imo, not meant for a house party, maybe more for clubs, but basically its use seems to be in comps and battles where dancing on a high level is expected, i do a couple popping moves but rarely anything thats pop heavy, might do the occasional "head-knock"(dont eve know if thats what its called lol), or body opo, but besides that i stick to gliding and liquid and it seems to be enough to impress the biddies

also knowing all common hip hop dances is a must.....being able to teach them is also a plus can when you see a girl you find attractive watching you can say something like, "Now its your turn..." or "you try" and point at their feet. Than they are like OMG i cant or something and you just teach them a simple move than they suck your **** or something, i might of missed a few steps there

Thanks for the basic dance link, he has a few I'll defo be checking them out. Its what I needed too.

I live in a very "white" area, and even more "white" childhood, so dance was not big at all for us, learning a couple moves would put me ahead of most people.


My main problem is that I'm not good at hearing beats in music, I even took a music class last semester and sucked at it. I basically flow with the lyrics, but that won't work for every song.
Got any tips?

clap or snap your hands everytime a handclap or snare drum plays in a hip hop song and you're on the beat in no time. As you get comfortable that you're snapping/clapping in time, you should start swinging your arms into the claps/snaps in a more exaggerated fashion, then get your whole into it. Generally speaking, so long as you're taking steps/changing directions/pushing your junk into your dance partner on the parts where the snare hits, you're fine. And yes, I just stood up and 2-stepped to Rihanna to make sure I wasn;t getting confused.

tbh, this is pretty close to my experience in college too. The trouble is, once you get out of college, the awkward white guys who were making you look good no longer go to bars that play hip hop, and the bars/clubs that play music to dance to have people who can actually dance. Not saying I embarrass myself ever, but I was among the best dancers at every frat party in college, not so much at hip hop parties post college.

i feel awkward just reading these posts

Ya i figure that much....but not worried about that yet....

So at my university there is a little cafe inside a bigger store. The bigger store sells a bunch of different stuff, but the little cafe (it's just a counter really) sells soda, coffee and maybe a couple of doughnuts. I go in there almost every day to get a cold soda to drink with my lunch. I've been going there for over a year.

Now when I go in there I am always super super nice. I used to work as a cashier and I can specifically remember two customers that would always come in. They were both super nice and seeing them always made my day a bit better. So when I go out I try to be that nice so people remember me. Always say thank you, have a nice day, etc super sincere and always be smiling.

Anyways there is a girl that works at this cafe that is a pretty cute blonde and I think I am getting some signs that she likes me. At the beginning of the school year she immediately recognized me from last year. I probably see her once a week and she knows that I want a Pepsi (because that's what I always get).

The first sign happened a couple of weeks ago. I was walking out of a different restaurant down the street in the morning and she was right there when I walked out. She immediately recognized me and had a huge smile on her face when she saw it was me.

The second one happened over the weekend. I went in the cafe to get a soda and she was in there with another cashier (it's sort of unusual to see two people working there). The girl I'm interested (the blonde) was stocking the cooler that's right behind the register so the other girl helped me. After the transaction the other girl doesn't say any closing thing like "thank you" so the blonde immediately pipes up and say to me "have a nice day."

I don't know if I'm reading to far into these little signs. And also I thought it was always sort of a dick move to ask somebody out at their work. They have no way to escape and have to be nice to you. Plus it's not like they are at a party or bar to specifically meet people, they are at their job to make money. I don't really know. What does SL think?

Mittens,
