Can Your Man Dance?

Ladies, have you ever met a guy and thought that he might be perfect and then he took you out to dinner and to the club dancing only for you to then find out that his dance moves were atrocious? I think that at some time in our lives it has to have happened to us at least once. They either make you feel awful or end up looking like the biggest idiots there. You either laugh or crawl under the nearest table. Do you say anything? You go to your corporate party, and the DJ breaks into the latest dance tunes. Your date is pulling you onto the dance floor, but you're still traumatized from the incident at your prom. Please tell me, how many of you have ever been in this situation? Can your man dance?

You refuse to be mocked for your dancing again, but on the other hand, you don't want to be the bore of the party and be reduced to talking to the hors d'oeuvres waiters all night long, while your colleague moves in on your hot date.You don't have to be the life of the party, but you at least want to join in on the festivities. So learn how to at least pretend that you can dance, and look normal on the dance floor -- without having to depend on alcohol to let loose.
Faking it
Move with the music
Let the music be your guide, and just move your body along with the rhythm and beats. You don't have to do impressive steps -- just let the music take you away. My dates always took control and had a name for every move. Today, years later, I can laugh, and although I don't laugh because he sucked at it, I give me credit. I laugh because he wasn't afraid to let loose and just be himself. Was it appealing and desirable to me....heck no. Did it make me smile and laugh, hell yeah!

Snap your fingers or clap your hands
If you're really at a loss on how to move, then just look like you're having fun by snapping your fingers while swaying your body from side to side. Just don't clap too much -- you don't want to draw too much attention to yourself.

Go to the YMCA
In order to start small on the dance floor, join in during a dance that has traditional steps and gestures, such as "YMCA" by the Village People, "Staying Alive", by the Bee Gees, "The Time Warp", or a line dance such as
Kool & the Gang's "Celebrate" or even "Macarena" (that is, if that song is still played). This way, not only will you know the moves required, but these are also songs that allow you to go crazy and look foolish -- that's part of the fun.

Grab a partner
If you're at a party with someone you feel close to or comfortable with, then let them guide you on the dance floor, by imitating their steps to a degree. It'll also be easier for you to let loose and get accustomed to the moves if you hold your partner's hands while dancing.

You don't need to be doing fancy dances like salsa or swing, just take your partner's hands and move with her. Remember, there's a reason why it takes two to tango. If you are going to swing, might i suggest the whip smart pleasure swing, our one and only sex swing/passion swing/love swing! Check it out at SimplyDeliciousLingerie.com under Delicious Deals.

Talk to your partner
You don't need to actually hold your partner's hands, but talking to her while you're moving your body will at least distract you from the task at hand, so you'll be able to move minimally while randomly talking to your partner.

Obviously, this is not the time for deep conversation, just random chitchat.

Sing along
By the same token, if the music is too loud or you find it difficult to actually talk to your partner while dancing, at least sing along to the music, which will help you move to the rhythm, and distract you from trying to dance perfectly.

Do less than more...easier said than done, right?
If you feel very awkward or uncomfortable on the dance floor, try to do less rather than trying to show off. Just avoid drawing attention to yourself, and stick to basic moves such as swaying, moving from side to side, and moving your body more than your feet.
This is one of my favorite clips from a movie pertaining to dancing. It just goes to show you that men think they can dance, and while many of them are very good at it, I seem to always end up with this kind of guy.....
