DONT DANCE LIKE A SPAZZ

Don't be a spaz and try to pull off some crazy moves unless you 100% know you'll look good doing them. It's better to reel yourself in. Over reaching and being 'that guy' is worse than blending in and being a bit boring and unoriginal. Don't feel you have to pull off tons of new moves every second and put on a show for everyone. It's okay to dance in a simple, repetitive way and just enjoy your friends' company.
If you're not comfortable dancing, do not take the route of dancing extra badly on purpose 'as a joke'. Everyone sees through this and it's not even that funny, just kind of embarrassing.

Basics:

• Move to the beat. Don't know what I mean? Go get some music and listen for the underlying, repeating thump-thump-thump pattern. Every style of music has different speeds.
• Bend your knees to bounce up and down to the beat.
• Kind of move your arms around as you bounce.
• That's about as basic as it gets.
