Do any of you dance?

[shlver]

A specific style? Dance at clubs or parties? What's your go to move?
I started popping 2 years ago and it has been the single biggest contribution to my recent success with women.

Here's a short freestyle.

[ace23]

Nah, that shit was cool though. Wouldn't expect your nerdy ass to get down like that.

[imdaman99]

That Seth Rogen dice thing :oldlol:

But to answer, yes I can dance but I refuse to show it. Only when no one's watching :lol

[hateraid]

Me and my old dance group are dressing as the Jabbawokees for Halloween. I used to b-boy/hip-hop back in the 90's. Got inspiration when I saw these old men on America's got talent.

[Derka]

In two instances:

1.) Out with my girlfriend
2.) After a few beers

I'm told I'm not a *horrible* dancer, but I'm still self-conscious as f*ck about it until I drink some and loosen up a bit.

[StephHamann]

Does raving on drugs count as dancing?

[Shade8780]

I'm white, so no.

[ZeN]

Im mexican so its a cultural requirement. I aint mad though, it allowed me to be up on females since i was a teen. Latinas love to dance.

good work, brokes. :cheers:


personally i prefer fast dancing to stuff like daft punk, in a "soul train line" style. then again that's the aerobophile in me talking, and it doesn't work for couples dancing unless you have a super-talented gal that can hang with you.

[shlver]

yeah

the less u think the better
Definitely. Dancing has become my meditation time. Every morning I freestyle and I just focus on the music and my body.

[shlver]

good work, brokes. :cheers:

I dance to fast stuff as well, there's some other vids on my channel if you want to check them out. Daft punk is good, I really like old school funk. I've been trying to incorporate more athletic moves but I've been enjoying grooving.

[fsvr54]

I'm hispanic and I know tons of people that don't dance, including myself.

old school funk is very much the kind of stuff in my head when i throw down. i'll look for your fast dancing stuff. oh, and i definitely prefer moving meditations to seated ones.

this is not that type of music right here, but check out the styles in this STL:

I only grind on chicks, and get loose when I used to pop pills

overall, not a very coordinated dude but I can just kind of bob my head and chicks will approach me, so figured I don't really need to work on it

That's pretty good.

Is that something that can be learned or is it natural? Were you a good dancer naturally before you formally started practicing?

[ArbitraryWater]

https://www.facebook.com/boji/videos/10153587902408971/

pretty much

[shlver]

That's pretty good.

Is that something that can be learned or is it natural? Were you a good dancer naturally before you formally started practicing?
It can be learned. I'm athletic and my neuromuscular function is good so with practice I became better. I started dancing because I couldn't let lose and just dance so I took it as a challenge and started out with youtube videos, then branched into ballroom which opened my social life quite a bit.

[Pushxx]

I'd like to learn more about dancing, but there isn't anywhere around me to. I wish there were some clubs or lessons or some shit.

[MP.Trey]

I dance a f*ck load when I'm at the club. Just two stepping and doing stupid looking 2Chainz type shit(without the jewels lol). I probably look like a jackass to most but everyone else I see on the floor looks like one too so I ain't self conscious about that shit.

[NBAplayoffs2001]

Nope but I always wish I could break dance.

[KyrieTheFuture]

I don't drink so I'm always waaaay too self conscious unless it's like a small house party with close friends. Even then I only go for like 10 seconds

[ROCSteady]

You're certainly no natural, OP.

[shlver]

You're certainly no natural, OP.
What do you mean?

[Vaniiiia]

lol, what the ****?

Not how I envisioned you at all...

I watched half-way through, it was kinda boring. Pick up the pace a little, I don't find those moves particular impressive or fun to watch.

[shlver]

I don't really dance to impress, I like to groove like I posted earlier.

Here's a faster one. The last 30 sec I do some weird looking stuff, but I just do whatever comes to me when I freestyle and not really think about the next move.

My bad I was just giving you a hard time because you're asian, and I didn't read the thread.

But yeah it this is your meditation, and you get to gain a skill in the process, have at it. I dance too.

You do seem pretty damn coordinated. I bet eventually you could throw in a couple back-flips or handstands. "DAMN DAT ASIAN BOY GOT MOVES!!!!!!"

Skip to 1:20 for some cool stuff you can try: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eG--Wb2VxUg

Cograts for having a new hobby and having fun with it but


you kinda suck. Too robotic. Not a natural fluid mover. You still have some chains to break


Keep practicing

Nah, I don't do bboying stuff. I've been working on a lot of footwork lately, and house dance has been my new focus. Your video had some basic house steps, but I don't like choreo and having set movements. I enjoy the freedom in freestyle.

Your range of motion is wack, both anatomically and environmentally.

Like I said, you're just not very fluid or good, have fun with it. Seems to have boosted your confidence.

However, High schoolers do this shit in the mornings waiting for their bus.
Not as a serious, studious pastime. As long as you know that tiny black kids do this before dinner just on a whim and without thought or preparation.

They wouldn't have mirror practiced such a 'routine' only to Youtube it and post for online approval.

But hey, at least you think you're down.

Good shit, hope it gets you laid a lot.

[ROCSteady]

I actually had a GNARLEY dance battle this summer at Seacrets in Ocean city.That place is fun, like a carnival for adults

Shit was hilarious. This hammered dude kept pressin on my home girls who where just tryna dance with us and after awhile wouldn't leave them alone so I came out the woodworks and hit some mean cuts just to upstage this dude who was doin some weak bboy two steps, prolly just like what shlver does in the streets.

Anyway, I fancy footed this dude into oblivion but he just kept coming back and getting worked again. Ah, :oldlol:

I only dance maybe about 30% of the times I go out. I have to wanna do it and that isn't very often anymore as I grow more and more weathered of a cynical soul.

shlver could get the steps tho :pimp:

Mirror practice? routine?
Enough typing, just pick a song and we both record and upload by a certain time.

[ROCSteady]

I would never subject myself to an 'online dance battle.' Like uploading segments and responses? That's some serious corn. I'm too old school to even date online, let alone take recreational dancing, which neither of us are even good at with a competitive fervor.

Are you serious bro?

Like, it was bad enough I did it out at the beach. Hilarious and memorable but the fact I did it in all white Air Force Ones made me feel like it was the millennium year again

Ppl take dance battles seriously still?

I was just busting your balls man. I enjoy ppl who take enjoyment in their past times enough to record it.

Hell, I do it sometimes.

Chill out, 5th Avenue Bruce Lee.

Meditate in the chambers and then you will have all your combos down for outside the Bodega tomorrow afternoon

[Clifton]

I have a good sense of rhythm, but my self-consciousness is insurmountable. So I can't freestyle, I can only dance if I'm starting with a "kind" of dance that I "know". If that makes sense.

I hate when people dance freestyle / un-selfconsciously, making it up as they go along. It feels like a reproach. I have no idea what to do.

Also, I'm very good at dancing with my wife and crap at dancing in every other situation.

[Bandito]

no.

I was the same exact way. I would recommend starting out with groove.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMJZknvRkqk This is a good video. It doesn't show the lower body, but bouncing slightly by bending your knees is essentially what you want or a basic two step.
Just groove to all types of music, listen to the sounds and try grooving to it. As you get comfortable with that, you'll feel the music more and you'll have foundation to base other movements on.

EDIT:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmfWBnlqHGI 0:05 for full body perspective.

[ROCSteady]

You really wanted this, didn't you?

My bad bro, after I realized how much you wanted to Step Up, I about caved into demand and placated you.

Then I realized I would be uploading dance battle footage online and my gangsta ass Jiminy Cricket told me it's not worth it just to answer the challenges of a dance assassin such as yourself.

I could have kids one day, don't want my unborns to never have a chance in this world, you know?

[Jailblazers7]

I dance but mostly as a fun way to get out of my own head. I don't know any types of dance and have never put effort into it but I have a good feel for music and like to let loose. It's a pretty liberating feeling and it's a good way to be flirty and goofy at a bar/club.

It takes time to freestyle... well, freely and skillfully. I mean some things in life are meant to be hard for lots of us, you know?

I was completely clueless upon dancing until 2nd yr of college... then a little circle of viet, japanese and indian friends dragged me out to the clubs, and that's when i realised that dancing is just too great to pass up.

The (mainly racquet) sports that I played somehow worked perfectly in to freestyle, FWIW. But I would think other sports could give you a similar head start, like swimming and gymnastics, maybe.

Idea: take turns with your wife doing whatever free moves you like. Whatever the other one does, the partner imitates as best as possible. Don't set high standards... think about it as a 3rd-grade dance with all that same freedom to experiment. :cheers:

[tmacattack33]

I kinda want to see this online dance battle. Do it yall.

[ROCSteady]

I once had a dance off with Zack the Black Ranger. The room went silent with each person walking and choosing sides. I had Jeanne Tripplehorn cheering me on and cleaning my sweat. Zack came at me with a classical Charleston dance and for a minute there it was over, but my gal Jeanne barked at me with inspirational whisper that I would never forget,

''It's finished. Yes, I'm finished. I don't want no more of this. I don't want no more of it! You understand? None of it! It's over with!"
[Jeanne walks away from the crowd in frustration]

I then pulled my pants up and did the most amazing ''Robot'' the world had ever seen. I lost consciousness for a second, when I woke..I found myself in a beach somewhere with Jordana Brewster drinking from a giant coconut and Vin Diesel giving me a hug.
