How Can I Look Cool on the Dance Floor?

Even a novice can look cool on the dance floor.

Although many people see dancing as an opportunity to meet hot singles, an entertaining way to lose weight and even a stress reliever, some think the ritual of going out dancing is a big ordeal. Why? Because they can't dance, and they think they'll look foolish on the dance floor. Nobody likes to look foolish, but believe it or not, you can look cool on the dance floor even if you don't know how to dance.

Instructions

1. Choose your clothes carefully. When deciding on an outfit for the night, remember that disco fever is dead. Dress nicely, as you would to go to a club with fiends but not flamboyantly.

2. Beware of the heat. You will sweat on the dance floor. Wear light clothes. If you're a woman, avoid heavy makeup, as it might melt away.

3. Drink plenty of water, and limit your alcohol consumption. You will most likely sweat and become dehydrated when you dance. You don't want to look bad on the dance floor, and you don't want a hangover the next morning.

4. Relax and remember why you are there in the first place. You're there to enjoy yourself. Even if you've never attended a dancing class, just move to the music.

Tips & Warnings

• Nobody said that dancing is only for couples. Dancing alone can look very cool and confident.

• If you do have a partner, concentrate less on the dancing technique and more on conversing with your companion.

• Don't look at your feet or stand near a wall, which can convey a message that you are insecure.

• Even if you are not an expert dancer, practice a few tricks at home that will help you look cool.

• Watch and learn movements from other people on the dance floor.
