Step 1
Focus on the beat of the music while you are ballroom dancing, and stay in time with the beat as you move. People will be less likely to notice that you don't know what you're doing if you stay in time with the music and are at least keeping time with the beat.
-
Step 2
Keep moving, dancing and making an effort to execute the steps, and you'll look like you know what you're doing. Don't stop dancing if you get confused or lose the beat because this can draw attention to you. Remember that a person dancing looks better than a person standing still on a dance floor, even if they aren't sure what they're doing.
-
Step 3
Move freely, like you know what you're doing, and appear confident. People will assume that you know how to ballroom dance and that you do it all the time. Chances are good that you're not the only one in the room who isn't a ballroom-dancing expert, but your confidence level can make you look like one to everyone else.
-
Step 4
Dance with an experienced partner. Your partner can guide you through the basic steps of the dance until you catch on, and he help you fake the more complex moves, spins and turns more convincingly.
-
Step 5
Smile so you look like you're having a great time and are completely comfortable out on the dance floor. Even if you're nervous or unsure of yourself, a confident smile can make you seem perfectly at ease and relaxed. Whether you're talking to your partner or just trying to keep up with the steps, keep a smile on your face, and you will look like you've been ballroom dancing forever.
