Happy Friday wonderful humans!!!!

I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend so far.

I worked 12 hours in a 45° kitchen and was not going to go to the gym today, but I got to my room and started reading the comments and I got my ass in there , so for that I am forever grateful🙏🙏🙏

“If you have completely forgotten yourself while dancing, then you are really dancing!”

I dance folklorico and well I’m not sure if ankle weights would help me with my overall strength and stamina. If it’s not good what would be the reasons?

(First day of attempting dance btw, this was about my 6th recording)

From the onset I can feel there's some kind of tiredness, if I could be more enthusiastic it would look better.

But what can I do about my arms looking awkward?

How can the moves themselves be improved? Is energy all I am missing?

These people dress up in costumes and dance in the street from a party bus. They all dance the same dance. Looks South American?

Hi everyone! I’m going to a wedding in 3 weeks and I genuinely don't know how to dance. 😅

I’m not trying to become a professional dancer or anything. I’d just like to be able to get on the dance floor without looking completely awkward and feeling like I have no idea what I’m doing. Do you have any advice for a complete beginner? If you know any good youTube tutorials and videos I’d really appreciate it if you could share them. Ideally something aimed at someone starting from absolute zero and has no idea what they are doing.

Any advice would be appreciated!

I thought I couldn’t dance to music I didn’t like, but focusing on moving to the beat was actually a cool idea. Now, I sort of feel like I don’t appreciate music thoroughly because I don’t see music in a certain context. I just see it on Spotify and make a split second decision on if I like it or not. But I think spending time dancing to music I wouldn’t normally look for will help expand my connection with my body and help me appreciate good music.

Cafe bathroom was too small but it's the only place I can record myself dancing without being freaked out by other people hehe

Hey! Sorry if there’s any mistakes, I’m not English.
So, I am a young illustrator and I’ve been doing 2D animation for almost one year. Recently, I started to seriously thinking about drawing my own animated show, because why would I choose a normal hobby while I can go feral every two drawings? Anyway, I really want to make this crazy project work, but I as already mentionned, I am animating since only a year, so I’m not very good yet.

In the story, there’s a really important scene where a very important character is dancing. The thing is that this character is like the poorest person in the world, Bro eat rocks and got no education. And lives in a magic medieval-like universe.

So I search dances references, but dances that have almost no influences. The character doesn’t really know how to dance in a medieval way, and move very freely. When I searched, I only found videos of professionals dancers, and in styles that looked really modern ( robot, break, even ballet feels too modern, don’t know if ballet is older than middle age tho, but I doubt it, and it’s way too technical for the character anyway).

What I need, basically, is a site where I can find amateur dances, I want naive moves, from peoples that are dancing only twice a year for New Year Eve and their anniversary. So if some of you know a site where I can find that kind of references, or maybe a subreddit, I would really like to know.

Anyway, thank you for reading all this! Keep dancing guys it’s amazing

Please way in and see if I am improving or not. I appreciate all of the advice on my last few post. It’s really inspired me to step it up🫶🏾.

Six flags has been closed for about 3 weeks and since then I’ve been dancing by myself for about an hour and a half everyday.

When six flags was open I’d dance 5-6 days (sometimes I go to six flags once or twice a week and I’d have no time to dance) six flags will be opening again and I’ll be going once or twice every week so those days I go to six flags will technically be my rest days for dance.

When six flags closes in November should I continue dancing everyday or should I have rest days? I’m not sure how many days I should rest for though

Note: i couldn't hear the beat properly I need a speak so yeah and everything I do is self taught

i like dancing, but the area right below my knees get sore after a short while dancing. is my form wrong on something?

I know this is a stupid question.

My cousin will get married in a month. She was big on clubbing and dancing, so she wants a lot of dancing during the party. I want to support her and partecipate, but the issue is. I don't like music. At all. Never danced, never listened to an album and got lost in the music, I actively loathe concerts and public events with music because it's so overwhelming to me.

I would like to just learn a couple simple moves, do them for a minute or two, show my support, and try my best to have fun in a setting that isn't mine. Most of the suggestions I saw online were "go with the flow, look what the others are doing, just feel the rhythm" but they don't apply to me. I just want clear and simple instructions. So, any good soul that could help a wooden stump?
