Few (Quick) dancing tips
- Try to hold a glass full of water in one of the hands and dance without allowing the water to spill, real fun, I am just trying it.
- Always dance in front of the mirror (I used to follow this while practicing drums)–yes please, get a big mirror for the room
- Dance as if nobody is watching you, then dance as if lots of people are watching you, both are equally important.
- Try cross-overs: try Salsa on straight songs, try straight on Latin rhythms—this is easy to understand if you play an instrument
- Imagine you have a partner, if you don’t have one. It is less difficult than it seems to be at first thought.
- Wear very very comfi underwear, it helps, not joking, don’t believe me, try it, you will know why I say it.
- Dance continuously, even if you think you are sucking at it, just tire yourself out, you automatically will feel the high–just like you feel after kissing, drinking or something similar.
- Beginners: Dance barefooted
- Smile, laugh at yourself by looking in the mirror (again, please get a mirror). I sometimes end up laughing for 15 minutes watching myself do something crazy (like doing salsa and pelvic thrusts on Kannada/Telugu songs)
- Dance, sweat it out, take a bath, then dance again, take a bath again (that’s one of my psychotic pleasures, do you think so?)
- Just dance, Always dance, don’t think what people will think.
- As I always say, think that you are not dancing so that you can say to others “I can dance”, do it because you think it is a good time-pass, do it because it is a good exercise, don’t do it to prove a point–it won’t help much (well, depends).
