Ack! I'm a horrible, horrible dancer and feel so self concious when dancing but a girl from the U.K. I've been talking to for a while invited me to go dancing with her when she visits the U.S...how do I not make a total idiot of myself? I can't dance! I'm not a dancer! I'm also not going to be a bore or a tool and refuse, but what do I do???? Just drink a lot? Just hop gently? Any suggestions would be great!

Sledgehammer + ankle + wooden block = excuse not to dance.

See the movie "Misery" for more information.

Make a movie about it then ask MacBaine and PowerMac4Ever to critique it?

Hey I personally had no beef with you (other than you being a MAJOR CHEAP ASS when it comes to web hosting).

Other than that you're just another dysfunctional AT'er.

Research your community's dance schools, there may be an upcoming one-day workshop or evening classes.

Just act like you know what you're doing. Nobody knows how to dance, its just the ones who are confident in waving their limbs around to the music look better than those who are self-conscious.

Oh, and cocaine is a helluva drug.

It all depends on the kind of dance.

A good move if youre in a club dancing is to go to the middle of the dance floor. Then you only have to worry about moving your upper body b/c no one can see your legs.

Watch "First Kid" its a movie with Sinbad where hes protecting the presidents son. He gives the son some good tips on how to learn to dance cause the kid doesnt have a clue.

Middle of the dance floor? What a great idea... So do you just do the head bop? will that annoy the dancing partner? I dont' care to look like a break dancing champ, just want to be fun and not a square... Self confidence is a big thing, excellent point.. Should I just not use my hands, that's the biggest thing i worry about!

the type of music is electro/punkish/ dancey and I'm not a social retard, i just usually hang out with friends and bars and not dance clubs so I'm a bit nervous.
