I used to do something like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnURbKKOvx4

Except not as good. I never learned how to body wave. But boy I could swing my arms and slightly thrust my hips like a champ.

I was better at stuff like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD39aKbDZvQ

Which is a harder style and people don't really appreciate it in clubs. It's more for something to do in the back of a rave.

Both videos are pretty shtity but I don't think club dancing is something that's really captured on professional film.

If all else fails just rock your body and do simple arm motions to the beat. THe "dolphin" wave arm thing has saved me many times.

And never, ever fist pump.

If you want something more subtle like the second one look into "rocking" or "capping." I can never find videos when I use those terms but they are mvoes you use in your dance. WEll rocking is a type of dance. It's basically like shuffling but a bit slower and more...flowy. Capping is when you do tricks with your hat. I saw a great video on a guy who does both those things a long time ago but every time I try and search for it, I can never find it.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure they both originate in Australia so itll be the Melbourne style.

They're many other subtle dances like tutting, gloving, and tricks with glowstringing (if you can call that dance? It's almost like a dance but more focused on the object than your body. It's like poi.

I see people breakdance a lot at raves too for whatever reason. I always thought of it as street dance, not something for indoors.

If you are nervous about what others thing of your dancing but come to a point where you want to be around others, go to music festivals. A lot of them are dying but there's still some large outdoor ones that travel around. Most people are on drugs/just don't give a shit so if you want to do your thing just find a nice spot and let loose. It's better than getting performance anxiety in front of a bunch of 8/10's at a party.

as a dancer, i've never cringed so hard before in my life.

when you're on the dance floor, for the love of god, please refrain from actually dancing. i know that sounds vague and redundant as fuck, but actually dancing - styles of dance that do not involve grinding or swanging - make you look like the biggest tryhard and a fucking herb.

you should know when it's appropriate.
enjoy looking like an autist while you fingertut and shuffle. shuffling in the dance world is the equivalent to fedoras. you're gonna look stupid no matter what.

>> No.6625521

>>6625495
i never really got that vibe from the community but then again i never considered myself a dancer really. however i also believe the "fedora" shit is a little bloated and exaggerated on 4chan.

yes i know not to do it at parties but i don't see what's wrong with it at a rave. i don't fingertut but that seems like a rave activity as well alongside clubbing.

OP i don't recomend yo udo anything in these psots since u want the club/party scene.

follow this guys advice a ltitle bit >>6625427 he has a point. just do minimal dancing at parties and stuff. you should be drinking and talking to people mostly anyways

>>6625495
but it's also sad, is it really true people i nthe dance world see other dancers as autists? i get if you're bad or tryharding. . .but it's kind of like art. why are you judging other people just let them do there thing. i have a lot of respect for people who just dance by themselves doing whatever

i apologize if i came off as extreme, i used the fedora analogy because it's something /fa/ would understand. modern day dancing (excluding ballet, jazz, contemporary, etc.) has it's roots from hip-hop. the modern-day shuffle, for example, came from the old-school running man. jerking's spongebob came from the party-machine of the 90's. i'm a hip-hop dancer, so when i see kids who call themselves dancers just because they shuffle, it just bugs me. yeah it's self-expression, but if dance is your passion, you should learn it's roots - otherwise you just seem ignorant and juvenile.

and i don't represent the whole of the dance community, i'm just expressing my thoughts on shuffling and whatnot. the dance community is actually really supportive and a lot less pedantic than i am.

old school running man:

ignore the title, he's doing the party machine. the only difference between the spongebob and the party machine is their timings, spongebob goes inward, party machine goes outward.

also these videos suck shit, i just used them to get my point across. you can be a self-taught dancer, but it helps to get first hand experience from an actual dancer, not a video.

Dancing to music in a club/party/rave/concert is a lot like sex, If you try to do "moves" that you practice you are doing it entirely wrong. Let the music move you and do what feels right.

Hey guys OP here thank you to all of the contributors in the thread. Love the discussion about styles of dance and appropriateness in different settings and I hope that there's more of that in this board.

The one thing that i'm taking with me after this thread dies is this post >>6625598 , which I already knew but needed to be told.

With that said, I can find the flow of beat and bob my upper body to it nicely, but getting up off my seat is where the flow stops and I feel like the rest of the posts in this thread (which includes but is not limited to >>6625307, >>6625314, >>6625417, and >>6625590) really cover what I was looking for.

Thanks again you guys, I really appreciate it.
