Halloween is such a fun time of year. Here's choreo from my last heels class.
I (34 male) have a dancing problem. I feel anxious and uptight when trying to dance and can very rarely move in a natural feeling way to songs that are playing. I feel in my head as though i look like a stiff, awkward nerd. I am quite an attractive and intelligent man with a loving wife and relationship and most of the time I feel like I can function quite well socially.
However, I find normal things difficult like audible laughing and feeling relaxed in social situations with strangers or when in groups. The dancing problem comes around strongly during events like weddings where I am encouraged to dance or my wife is dancing (I dread these situations and usually end up drinking way too much to overcome my nerves). I feel like after bringing it up with her so much my wife is even more consicious of my awkward dancing and I see whilst I'm doing it she looks at me in an amused way and has even said in the past that I'm a bad dancer (in a nice, funny way (seriously she's a gem)). I feel ashamed that I can't at least dance with my wife and give her what she deserves, I even had to skip us doing a first dance at our wedding :(
Please tell me how I can improve this. I just want to be able to dance to an acceptable level (like most others can do naturally) so as to not stand out and feel embarrassed, I don't want to be good or flashy, just normal. I've often been told I need to relax more on the dance floor but no matter how hard I try I can't. Is there anything I can do about this?
I would like to share my latest album, which was inspired entirely by Belly Dancing. I crafted each track to provide a different flow and vibe that you can adapt to your routine. I'd love some feedback and if you can share it if you like it, I'd be greatly appreciative!

I'm learning to dance samba, but I don't have a teacher, I don't have any nearby in my country. I was doing the search on Google and YouTube and Instagram videos, but I had a lot of questions so I decided to ask here if you don't mind. What is the difference between samba no pé and samba enredo? Recommendations who to follow online to learn better? Advice and tips? Thank you very much, I love the culture of Brazil
I just started hip-hop dance classes in august and I've noticed that my shoes have too much grip. Whenever I try to do any footwork, my feet just won't move due to the shoes. So I was wondering how to make my shoes less grippy, but not too slippery without buying a whole new pair of shoes.

Not recent, but wanted to share! Also a little more space to move this time 🕺💃
let me say off the bat i don’t condone of kanye’s actions but i believe he has a good soul, i’ve struggled with mental illness too and i really relate to him as a person, he has a lot of ego issues and other shit he needs to work on and honestly when i become a serious well known artist my plan is to reach out to him and help him heal, my whole goal in life is to uplift humanity and spread positivity and light and it starts with helping the people in the darkest of situations find their way to serenity.

Recently went to Philly to compete in a west coast swing and hustle dance competition. It was a lot of fun jack n Jill dances :).
This was my best comp to date: 1st intermediate/adv hustle 1st sophisticated hustle 1st crossover ( hustle and west coast swing ) 1st intermediate west coast swing 1st professional invitational challenge ( more of a fun comp) 4th sophisticated west coast swing
I’m happy with the results . Especially pulling random partners :).
I did not finish my combo
Beginner dancer here, really working on improving my musicality. I can count 1-8 and usually find the '1' no problem. I also catch some vocal cues and certain instruments, but I want to get more precise with it over time. My another struggle right now is sometimes rushing through the counts while I'm dancing. Any online classes/rhythm games/etc that can help improve my musicality?
So when I was a child I was in color guard for about six years. Unfortunately, even though I always wanted to, I never was allowed to learn the saber. There was however one senior in high school who was magnificent dancing with a blade: he incorporated impressive ballet-like maneuvers it seemed while swinging the blade in a complimentary fashion.
I was looking through the web trying to find a saber routine that felt like it had love and soul behind it but all I found was stiff, emotionless movements. Like sure the blade spin is fluid but where is everything else I saw? I know someone out there has to have some heart behind it. I remember a key feature of the saber was to be very eccentric and fluid not strict and stiff like spinning a rifle.
This is a clip of dancing on video game music. What kind of dance is this classed as? Rhythm , Maestro, Drunk etc? Just so I can have a better understanding. Thanks
I've been ridiculed for having a disportionate body so I stopped learning how to dance for a long time. Years later I mustered up the courage and danced with these people who were hanging out dancing in public.
As I was dancing I got so emotional I started crying but I couldn't stop. It was like that lady in the folk story "Red shoes." Except I wasn't force to do anything. Now everytime I dance I tear up.
So that's why they call me Crying Luke.
Hello everyone,
