To be a real T-MAN or T-Vixen one should know how to dance, right?! Right! But I’m real shy about getting up in front of people to dance. And, I can’t dance, I think. At least not that good. I want to be able to dance to all the club stuff & top 40 songs. HOW DO I LEARN? My girlfriend is a great dancer & is going to show me some moves. BUT, I don’t want to dance like a girl, I want to dance like a man. You know where I’m coming from? Does it matter? SO, I JUST WANT TO LEARN HOW TO BE A COOL DANCER. HELP ME! What do I do. This is very important to me! Are their any good videos I can rent, steal or buy?
Uh, take dancing lessons, maybe???
I think a common misconception is that most girls know how to dance. Quite frankly, they don’t. Take a hot girl with assets, have her move her hips and jump up and down, and she’s going to look good regardless of her technique. Now, when a girl is just so bad and uncordinated, then it’s a turn-off. But dancing for guys is different. Most look stiff because, well, we don’t have a clue (well, the straight ones anyway). First thing you have to do is throw your inhibitions in the garbage. You’ll get nowhere fast if you’re self conscious. And otherwise, just go with the flow, feel the music, and do what makes you feel happy. “Dance like no one’s watching,” I live by that. But most important, be confident! Alcohol helps a great deal in these situations, and I justify adding the extra cals sometimes because of all the moving I’m doing out on the dance floor. Just go for it!
i want to dance like that kid in the alien ant farm video. Were the hell did that kid learn to dance like that.
you have a girlfriend who is a great dancer. Right there, you have an instructor who will teach you for free (maybe). Look, whatever you do for the first time, whether it’s dancing, training, or learning to drive, you’re gonna fluff up. It’s natural to be clumsy and feel awkward. But with enough practice, you’ll get better. Ok, enough with the pep talk. A few websites you can check out are “mambosf” and “bustamove”. Bustamove has some cool animations that show you the basic moves. In fact, I think that’s T-Man in those video clips (you have to see for yourself)! Mambosf is great if you want to learn the salsa/mambo. As far as videos, I cant’t think of any off the top of my head, but I’ll ask my buddy. Hope you impress your girlfried really well.
I would like to Nominate Mike the Libertarian as Cultural Csar of the United States of America! (smile! :)—!!! (Sorry, Mike…I know you would much rather be the Drug Csar…but that job is already taken…! (LOL!!)
listen to R&B music and go to R&B clubs, after a couple of months you’ll notice you will start to move a little to the music, then get WASTED one night and go out on the dance floor!! just don’t worry about what people think and you will be fine, as long as you have SOME rythem. nothing looks worse than when you see someone dancing and they look like they are worried how they look, let go and have fun and NOBODY WILL CARE. peace
T-MEN DON’T DANCE
Just like everything else in life that you want to get good at, it’s PRACTICE. Ya gotta bite the bullet and jump in and just do your thing. You’ll find that each time you go out to a club dancing, you get a little looser and a little better. Have a drink or two to loosen up at first if you need to, but you shouldn’t have to depend on it. You watch people around you, pick up some moves, and just do your thing. No matter how bad you might think you are, if you are having a good time, everyone around you thinks you are doing great.
Another big tip - learn to dance with the music that really moves you, the stuff you like. For you, it might be hip-hop. Or techno. Or deep house. Or top 40. Whatever it is, it HAS to make you want to move, or else you’ll just look (and feel) like a robot out there. Once you get some self confidence and learn how to loosen up and get a groove on with the music you love, THEN you can try to cross it over into something you might not like as much.
I suggest you move to England where only faygs dance.That way you have an excuse.
Mufasa, if I became Csar of anything, I’m afraid my intense hatred of political authorities combined with my belief in self-ownership would quickly lead to self-annihilation. Now I’m sure that would make Avoid Roids happy (among others), but who would be left to flame all the stupid fucks of this forum??? Would you carry on the good fight???
mE TOO JOEL! That kid is awesome! I would give my right nut to dance like that, well, maybe not my nut. Ha!
To those with the “fag” comments, a real T-man is confident enough in himself that he doesen’t attempt to disgrace that which he cannot do. Think about it, if you posess the balls to do so. As far as dancing, dude, let the music get in your head, get the rhythm down, and then try to send a “vibration feedback”, let your emotions come through in your movements. Get into it. Lata.

james mooney was only partly right…T-men don’t dance to the likes of the Village People… that would be gay.
hey benny hill i am glad you feel the same way. I thought this was going to turn into a post about how great that kid was.lol
I don’t really wanna take this seriously since
I was joking, but I was merely observing the way guy dancers are considered faygs in England.
I wish I could dance like a fag. Brahaahha. 
I’ve never taken dancing lessons, and don’t think I can dance, but many women have commented that I’m a great dancer. It’s all about having fun, doing something different and going with the beat. Sometimes it helps to check out other people for some tips. And women always look great when they dance, even if they don’t move much. It’s just something about a woman’s body.
As for the guys who don’t dance, that sucks for you! I’m the one who dances with your wife or girlfriend at the club or wedding you went to. Then she gets drunk and a bit flirty. And I’m the one she’s all over while you sit on the sidelines. It’s happened quite a few times. I’m game! 
Hmmm… Been a long time since I’ve been dancing. What type of dancing are you referring to? Line dancing? Definitely take lessons, or watch for a LONG time before trying to jump in. Ballroom type? Again, lessons. Salsa? Lessons, but with the partner you’re going to be dancing with. If you’re just talking freeform discotech type dancing, really no one cares too much what you’re doing as long as you’re not giving other people black eyes. Just throw your inhibitions to the wind and have a good time. You’l get better over time. Usually the ladies will be impressed enough with a guy who just WILL dance, not necessarily good. But if you’re good, that helps.
First of all, anyone who says a guy who dances is not a T-Man is full of shit. I know plenty of guys who are T-Men…to the ‘T’, so-to-speak, who dance all the time. But those who don’t have a good dance scene in their city, or who have just never gotten into it, well, don’t waste your time worrying about what they think…Plus, you can meet a ridiculous amount of women on the dance floor. As for learning how to be a ‘cool’ dancer…it takes time. The most important thing is rhythm. Find the beat and move to it, even if you start by just tapping a foot a little bit. If you don’t have rhythm, it doesn’t matter what kind of ‘moves’ you learn, you’ll never look good. As far as learning moves, you have to just watch other people on the dance floor. Start going to places with good music and a good vibe, where you can kind of blend into a crowd of dancers. Eventually, you’ll pick up some moves, and as long as you have rhythm, you’re good to go. And don’t worry about what anyone thinks…or drink until you stop worrying-whatever works for you.
