This is somewhat related to the art of pickup.
But just vaguely. Actually, not really.

I'm going to be 21 in a few months.
I'm going to be hitting the club scene more
(won't be stuck at non-alcoholic age-restricted clubs).

Guys..... I need to learn how to dance.

I'm talking more along the lines of dancing to club music/hip hop.
Although, learning some formal dancing would be a plus, too.

I can dance ok, I suppose, with the typical guy moves.
Strangely enough, during an odd dancing incident with a few friends,
I found out I could shake my hips like a woman.
Not sure if that's good or bad...

Anyways, I need some ideas guys.
What can I do to learn how to dance better?

haha i dont know wether you meant it to be but that came across as quite a funny post. element i want to help you because (spookily) ive been watching your progress on the forum and you have a lot of love for these guys; your advice is almost second to none and you always have something interesting to say.

i too would like to learn to dance, one of the things you need to look out for though is contempory dance instructors. its no good learning the waltz or the cha cha if your never going to use it in a club environment.

one thing to remember is that in clubs most girls go there to dance (prick tease) and not to pull. so it may not happen for you despite what you try. dont let this effect your game - its not you - its just one of those things. i find it extremely difficult to sarge in nightclubs and when i dance all it seems to be is mere titilation; a girl brushing up you one minute acting interested and moving onto her next victim the next. and even though it looks like alll the girls are having fun - there actually just as frustrated as you are in that environment because they dont know how to breach the stranger gap through dancing alone.

my advice is to find a contemporary dance instructor, one who can have you moonwalking like jacko, strutting like timberlake and not dancing like david brent.

why not learn to dance, after a night of sarging, after youve racked up plenty of numbers - why shouldnt you pussy tease?

Awwww, why thank you, slackpack.
Are you trying to seduce me?

Too many IOI's, man... I'm just not feeling the attraction.


On a serious note, thanks for helping out.
It's not even that I want to know to pick up girls.
I wanna be smooth like Usher or Justin Timberlake... lol.
Naw... I just want to be able to dance without looking like a retard.

Hey Element,

I've actually looked under Google for Hip Hop. But the truth is that I don't think guys have to be all flashy and shit. I really thick u should stick to the basics (like in the movie Hitch).

Just keep it simple. The girl is the one that everyone is watching on the dance floor.


Respectfully,

M

If you want to learn a dance, make some girl friends in a salon, just friends most of them do dancing, than ask them to tutor you. Believe it or not most guys DONT dance, and if the girl dances shed be desperate for a male partner. Than when you walk in a club you can use them as pivots and at the same time demonstrate value on the dance floor before you even approach anyone.
Dancing does help your game, but you have to be really good to demonstrate value! I've noticed when i used to dance i had girls coming up to me and start with things like, show me your moves (jump through my hoops like a nice dog), so id always reply, you haven't earned that privilege yet, why don't you give me 3 reasons why i should show you? (make her jump through mine). I've heard some storys of PUA's demonstrating awsome value on the dance floor, flipping a girl around, upside down, and that lights her right up. Generally its not that important, most PUA's that i look up too don't do the dance scenario.

Just some thoughts.

haha element - is my game that see through? good luck with your project

I was worried about this when stepping into my first club. The first few times I just got really drunk which really helped me, but now I just keep it simple unless the girls all over me - in which case I control the dance.

It won't be a bad thing if you go for dance classes, but if that's not your thing, there's actually some videos on youtube which can teach you a few moves. I wouldn't worry about it too much though as if the girl likes you, she won't care too much about how you dance (so long as you keep rhythm) - if I notice a good male dancer around us, I'll normally imitate what he's doing a retarded way. This shows the girl that you're not self-conscious, that it doesn't matter to you how you dance and she'll giggle.

I actually cared about how I danced until I was grinding with this girl (who I later learnt was a salsa teacher), and she asked me where I learnt my moves from (oh yeah!).

Ahhh, I love you guys.
In a sentimental, completely non-gay kind of way.


Salsa dancing... haha.
That would be so funny.

I'm going to go with theslackpack on the instructor deal,
I'm looking in to that as we speak, actually.

Impact.
I think what you said is a good idea too, asking girls to teach me.
Hell, if done correctly, I bet that'd be a good way to isolate!
This could be fun.

Oh, and M.
I was thinking about what you said, keeping it simple, like what Hitch says.
This is a smart call, but only for the reasons that he said it for.
Those being:
1) The guy he was teaching was a putz, he had no moves.
2) He was teaching him dancing with game in mind.

Most guys are told to tone it down because when they try doing "moves",
they look more like Michael Jackson having an epileptic seizure.
Or a bad 70's movie.

I'm not learning to dance necessarily for game purposes.
I just think it'd be sweet to be able to dance like a pro.
