Dancing in clubs

[iridium77]

I know that a lot of you go clubbing regularly.. I'll be visiting a club soon, but it'll be pretty new to me. Not sure what kind of music will be played.. top dance hits? hopefully some trance..

Anyway, does anyone have advice on how to blend in and have fun dancing? I've tried asking around and searching on the net, but haven't got a lot besides moving side to side, hip movement, and shrugging shoulders. (I'm a girl, if that matters.) Thanks.

If you are into trance I highly recommend you check out The Guvernment on Saturday nights! I assure you, you won't be disappointed!

Don't worry, in my experience most of the people in clubs can't really dance, and mostly just sway around to the music. People are usually so drunk and it's so dark that it doesn't really matter. The best bet is to have a few drinks yourself, relax, and just try to do what others are doing.

come out to afterlife on friday lol. free plug for me.

we are mixing up the crowd so its not jsut the asian scene anymore... third floor will be open for dance, trance, drum and base starting friday...

and if u cant blend with that crew go downstairs and move to the hiphop beats.

we got cheap drinks too so everyone gets drunk by 12 - 1... so no one will notice u. the only real moves ull need to know is how to approach women. once u get them ull be dancing behind them so they wont even know that u dont know how to dance, just dont knock em over from behind while you grinding em.... that'll get u killed lol

I feel the Guv and Viva are the best trance clubs in Toronto. No contest.
Mark Oliver residents Viva on Friday, Guv on Saturday. +1 Trance DJ in Canada, IMO.

[KevC]

If you're a girl, I'm sure it'll be easy for you. just sway your hips, close your eyes and feel the music. Girls naturally dance well hahhaa.

[canabiz]

Just take some Vitamin E and enjoy your time my friend!

[Nyte]

Look around and do what everyone else is doing. If you decide not to dance, don't stand in the middle of the dance floor looking unconfortable, that will make you stand out. Thats for a girl, for a guy, its a lot more common, so no one will really take notice.

are u referring to the fresh prince episode where Carlton took speed and thought it was actual vitamin e or are u refering to extacy

hahaha wtf?!!? carlton took speed? thats some pretty hard core drugs -_-

[FearSonic]

Yeah, Carlton took Speed because he mistook it for wake up pills, he was tired so he took them and BAM he went nuts. Something like that.

Too many asian people at Viva, and I'm asian. =P Lotsa my friends go there, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was mostly trance.

he took them cuz he thought they were Vitamin E for his acne...Will had them in his locker cuz speed helps you stay awake

[JoKeRr]

I always thought the iPod commercial dance moves were pretty cool.

[UrbanPoet]

hey gyal! come to Distrik on friday ill show u how to boogie. Lol ... then u can tell everyone on RFD how i acted a foo.

its all in good fun :lol:
Dont take clubbing to seriously.. its just a place for ppl to get drunk, have fun etc...

move side to side... and give ur hips a lil turn. A Females feminine body makes these movements alot smoother. Females are usually "conditions" from birth to move in 'girly' ways. This makes dancing for girls look really good.

[zalapski]

Just avoid doing the Elaine Benes "dance/kick spasm" and you will be fine.

Trance is weak.

People who tend to dance to Trance are weak due to vitamin deficancies from the X pills.

Clubbing is a waste of time and money. It is also bad for your health.

Its a fun thing to do once and a while.
For me.. I alway sget my friends to get me in for freee on the guest list. I have maybe 3 or 4 drinks. I could slam 10 drinks if i wanted too and be woobbly (no puke) but 3 or 4 gets me loose.

I get to the puking range when i take 15-20 drinks tho -_- ugh. Never again!

[lilnymphie]

Bend your knees, move your butt to the music.

Easiest way is to : bend your left knee, jut your hip to the right, bend your right knee, jut your hip to the left...to the beat of course, and sway your body a bit to those movements.

I suggest going there, downing a drink or two. While you're downing, it gives you a) a chance to relax and loosen up, b) a chance to observe people dancing to see how it's done and c) a chance for the club to fill up a bit. If it's dark and crowded, few will really see how you actually dance as long as you look somewhat like you're dancing.

Clubbing is actually quite enjoyable if you're female. You're getting into the club free, usually get free drinks, and you spend the whole night getting ego stroked by guys hitting on you :lol:

EDIT: NEVERMIND, I DIDN'T NOTICE YOU SAID YOU WERE A GIRL. the following is for the first-time-guy-clubbers out there :razz:

take several shots of a stiff drink (i recommend 151 :D )

once you feel a buzz, get out there and do whatever the hell you want. just look like you are having fun. jump on stage, work the crowd. go all over the dance floor dancing, jumping from one circle to the next.

just look like you have confidence, and you are having fun no matter what people think.

think about it:
1. almost everybody there is inebrieated, they won't care or even remember you the next day. they don't know who you are.
2. you likely won't remember all the stupid stuff you did the next morning anyways. you don't need to be drinking to the point of puking or passing out to forget.
3. in the club, all the girls look like they're ssssmokin hot. but really, they're pretty average (or sometimes just plain ugly) in daylight, and when not caked in layers of makeup, and without your beer goggles.

the first time i went clubbing was crazy. i was at the sweetspot, where i had little inhibition, but i could still stand, dance, and not feel sick. i went around with my pals, smiled, high-fived every person i saw (guys and girls), pulled the shy guys to the hot dancing girls, went on stage and did the 'raise the roof' thing to the crowd. later on, this SSSSMOKIN hot white chick comes up to me and screams in my ear 'YOU'RE HOT!!!' and starts grindin me right up there on stage. BOOYA.

also, for me, i don't go with the mindset of hooking up with a chick and getting laid. coz most girls go with friends already, and don't like having the groin of some strange scummy guy rubbing up against them. i go with the mindset of having fun with my pals, getting nicely buzzed, feelin the crowd and the music.

[IceMan77]

If you're a girl you won't have much trouble. Slam down a couple of drinks stand on the dance floor and within minutes they'll be guys rubbing up against you trying to teach you to dance. :D

[krash322]

I would recommend standin on the side, with a drink in hand, and feel out what everyone on the dance floor is doing. There's no need to hop right in. I remember gettin into Trance like 8 or 9 years ago at a club called Industry. I wonder how many of youz here remember that place still. There will never be another place like it. Anyways, there's absolutely no obligation to dance, but when the mood strikes, just get out there and boogie. The music will literally move your body.

Wear anti perspirant if you sweat, nothing looks more attractive than wet, soggy armpits when doing the macarena.

Who does the macarena now? ;)

[ill_mango]

there are no step-by-step instructions to dancing. Just feel the music and don't feel self-conscious.

[sandie]

Honey, you're a girl - that means you can do whatever you want. ;-) So long as you're comfortable with what you're doing, don't worry about any one else. Just be comfortable and then you'll have tons more fun - trust me. Been partying for 8 years now. haha
(when I started I was too self conscious - its better when you're confident in yourself. Dress like a hottie and you're golden!)

[chinaboy1021]

if you gonna hit viva or guv, go few hours after they open. it'll be pretty packed by then so you can just fit right in.

[jayslay]

if your into trance music go to the GUV on friday and sat. but if your into soca reggae like meee :) go to inside!!! on fridays its amazing!!

Really??

I've been on so many "guest lists +1" (plus one in case some ppl don't know)
and I've never had to pay to get in somewhere.

Maybe it's cuz I know alot fo the DJ's and promoters maybe?
but usually a guest list is for the promoters friends, also same for the VIP room.
-not too sure if TO has clubs with VIP rooms, that's usually alot of places in Montreal and big clubs in the US.

my clubbing advice is, if u r going to be dancing alot do not wear crazy high heels or your feet will kill you after 1 hour.
wear sort of lower shoes.

Also, don't bring a huge purse/bag as you'll be stuck carying it around all night. small purses u can put on your shoulder are the least annoying.

Also, you might want to bring some kleenex- alot of the clubs I've been to...if you're daring enough to use the washroom- nenevr have any toilet paper.

also, don't carry any "illegal substances" in your purse/bag. they are not good for you and if the club has security and searches people you might not get in.
alot of clubs do search women's bags for knives and stuff like that.

anyway, just chill and have fun.
I don't see how clubbing can be unhealthy.
sure if you drink like a fish every weekend.
but if u go just to hang out with friends, it's just fun!

First rule of dance club....don't talk about dancing.

[ckang008]

How do I get girls to danc with me? do I ask them if they are just sitting around drinking or just try to join into girls that aren't dancing with guys already.

make and hold eye contact while walking up to them, then dance.

If you got into dancing with a girl for a while, and she starts coming closer to ur body, do u return the offer by touching her while dancing? won't it be like harrassment?

lol no.

get as close as you want without taking off your pants.

there is a term called 'grinding' where you are basically dry-humping the girl, rubbing your groin against hers.
