I have plans on taking a hip hop class. Anyone have any experience taking a few classes. are there any other forms of dance you would recommend and why
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
Good Dance to learn

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I'd personally recommend taking salsa classes. It's a lot of kino and goofing around with girls, and you learn a dance that let's you practice your leading / dominant skills and something simple enough to learn a girl in 5 minutes.
Anytime of ballroom dancing. In most of these the guy not only leads but has to control which direction both you and the girl are dancing WITHOUT talking and only body movement and arm placement. I recommend starting with waltz because it is easy to learn and easy to teach to girls.

Depends which Waltz you're referring to. If you're talking about an English Waltz, then I'd say: Basic steps are ok, but it requires a lot of training to make it look good. If you're referring to the classical Vienna Waltz, then no. That dance is permanently turning and switching direction, throwing most people off in extreme dizzyness really quick.ArcBound said:
I've danced ballroom / latin for 10 years now, with a 3 year break, and I've done some salsa. If you wanna show off some quick moves, salsa is the way to go. If you want to learn to do a bit more dancing that actually looks really good, go for ballroom / latin.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
I don't think you getting flaked on has anything to do with Salsa but more to do with your game than anything else.Huffman said:Salsa is good! But strangely the numbers I got from salsa class were all flakes. Dunno why, because everybody liked dancing with me
True, but you don't need to master it to have fun with it and teach other girls which I've actually done when girls learned I knew ballroom dancing. Vienna Waltz is hard, I tried a year of it but you can't just do a Vienna Waltz with anyone only other people trained in it.SandHawk said:
TBH I've tried a lot of ballroom dances but not really salsa, would you say its your favorite?

I was just so surprised because at the class they seemed super interested and dancing really close, and were eager to give their numbers... I also made sure none saw me taking the number of another... well nevermind hehe
