Okay, so there's this Winter Dance coming up at my school, and I got a date with the guy i've liked all year. That's mostly beside the point. So, I've been really happy about that, but now i've been thinking. It's a dance. I don't know how to slow dance!!! What do you recomend I do?

Rikotsu-chan Okay, so there's this Winter Dance coming up at my school, and I got a date with the guy i've liked all year. That's mostly beside the point. So, I've been really happy about that, but now i've been thinking. It's a dance. I don't know how to slow dance!!! What do you recomend I do? You're the female, just let him lead. (And yes, I'm reinforcing gender roles.) On completely the same subject: Dancing isn't that hard, everyone is too busy worried about looking stupid to be looking at anyone else. Worse comes to worst, you guys just kinda hold onto each other making small circles to the beat of the music.

Slow dancing is more about connecting with the person than showing fancy dance steps. Just take it slow, and you'll be fine. In basic terms, put your arms around his neck and just go in circles.

Slow dancing isn't bad. Just put your hands on his shoulders and let him lead. You'll mostly just sway to the music and move in slow circles but shuffling your feet. Just let him choose which direction you are turning to.
Besides during slow dances no one pays any attetnion to how other people are dancing.

Well.. typical slow dancing now adays, you just put your hands on his sholders and follow him. Mostly it's just sorta swaying back and forth to the beat. lol. You dont' really have to worry about slow dancing. It's not that hard. And even if you can't dance, you should still try. It really bugs me when those who can't dance go to dances but then don't even try dancing. So just try it. you might be good at it. ^_^

Slow dancing is exaxctly what everyone else said it is: arms around each other (or atleast on each other with or without the "respectable" distance between the dance partners) and swaying to the beat while shuffling your feet to turn in a slow circle in one direction or the other. It is not a ballroom dance or a waltz. You don't need to know any "fancy" steps or dips or twirls and so on. You can do a simple twirl or two if you want, but you don't have to.
If you focus too much on how you look, you will miss the point of the dance completely. You will be too nervous to just enjoy being close or to focus on him. If you are nervous and not sure what to do, let him know. He is most likely in the same boat! If all else fails, just hold on and sway even if you don't move your feet. Who leads is up to you two in the moment. It really doesn't matter since most people can't really tell who is leading and who is following anyways.
You could always practice with someone or even your date if you want. It may feel silly at first to do, but if it helps you overcome worries and fears then do it. You will see that it is not hard, complicated, or anything like that and you will be fine.

You: put your arms around his neck
Him: put his hands on your waist or around you
Him: decide where to move.
It's pretty easy.
