I would like to learn to dance. I basically just want to be able to look somewhat good dancing at a club. I’m not talking about simply grinding or doing some simple step touch - I want to learn some basic moves, develop my rhythm, learn to tie moves together, and become more fluid.
What’s the best way to go about this?
Just go out dancing?
Take lessons?
Learn online ?
Anybody here a former none-dancer and convert themselves into a competent dancer ?
Thanks
hip hop abs
My boy did. Did those vids a few times and took the moves to a club and killed it haha
He’s the stiffest dude ever too so do that
Seriously though, I don’t care how old this shit is now. If you could dance like this in the club OP, even you might get laid.

Basic moves is what english music (club music) is all about. There is no need and I doubt you will find classes teaching you how to dance at a club, if you really need help look on youtube. If you want to learn to dance to Latin music that is a different story.
Unless you are a Latin American, at a wedding, drunk doing any of the Line Dances at a family gathering or Slow Dancing with your wife stick to a 2 step beat or stay off the dance floor.
Edit: The above is only a suggestion to males over 30. If you are under knock yourself out. If over 35 get out of the club it’s Sad to watch.
Oh and to the OP find a woman who can dance Really Dance Best teachers on Earth.

I remember that scene even though I saw it 20 years ago, because the commentary ended with:

Which he did, and if you can make a coathanger look good…

Not Latin American, but I have had Salsa lessons and even did an exhibition. The key is getting a great teacher (learned from my mistakes with that one) and then being committed to it for a while. It does carry over to dancing in clubs and gets your timing just right. Only wish I had learned these moves earlier.

Dancing does not do anything for me and this quote makes me lol and kind of sums up how I feel about dancing:
"I hate doing it myself
I hate dancing more than I can possibly explain. I hate doing it myself, which I can?t anyway, but I loathe and resent the necessity to try. I hate watching other people do it. I hate the way it breaks up conversation. I hate the slovenly mixture of sexual exhibitionism, strutting contempt and repellent narcissism that it involves. I hate it when it is formless, meaningless bopping and I hate it (if anything even more) when it is formal and choreographed into genres like ballroom or schooled disco. Those cavortings are so embarrassing and dreadful as to force my hand to my mouth.
If I listen to music, I like either to do it completely alone, so that if I am taken by the desire to move my feet and body (which is inevitable with so much music) I can do it unwitnessed, or I like to LISTEN to it, to hear the line of it, to follow the lyrics and to allow it work inside me. I do not want to use it as an exercise track for a farcical, meaningless, disgusting, brainless physical public exhibition of windmilling, gyrating and thrashing in a hot, loud room or hall. I do not want to use music as the medium for a mating or courting ritual. No one would ever select me as a sexual partner on the basis of my ability to froth, frolic and gibber in time to music anyway, and nor would I ever choose a partner by such desperate and useless criteria.
I can?t dance. It may well be true that guilty feet have no rhythm, but it is also true that perfectly innocent feet can also be unable to move persuasively or happily to the beat. I can?t dance and I SO do not want to. Or is it that I don?t want to because I can?t? No, I don?t think so. I can?t play football, golf, cricket to anything like a human standard and I want to desperately. Desperately. It really isn?t a question of being truculent and captious about it. I really, really, really hate dancing and have not the slightest milligram of envy for those who can do it. If there is such a thing as ?being able to do? the kind of dancing people routinely engage in. Not so much an accomplishment as an affliction."
