Dance at a Middle School Dance Party when You Are Really Self Conscious

Ahh, the question that plagues many, many teens. Today, discos and music are becoming more popular, and there are always those who just aren't sure. Well, this guide aims to help that!

Steps

  1. Try to dance with friends. If you've got some friends who are a little self-conscious too, all dance together. If you've got some friends that are a little more outgoing, great! Dance with them too!
  2. Check out some music videos, make up your own, or when you get to the party, watch others! There's usually the first awkward ten minutes when no-one is dancing, but if you just copy what everyone else is doing when it starts. As you go on, you can make your own style up a bit more.
  3. Try and forget being self-conscious. Who cares if you're not a perfect-model? Dances are for fun!
  4. Ask yourself why you're self-conscious about dancing? Is it because you don't know the moves, or because your worried some "it" girl will come up to you and say something? Figure out what it is, and remedy it. If you enjoy yourself, then your happiness will be contagious.

Tips

  • Finally: Don't get a reputation for not dancing. Take the plunge, grit your teeth, and do it! People are more likely to notice if you're not dancing than if you are. If you do have a rep for not dance it, break it, and quickly! Otherwise, they'll be people saying: "Oh, look, [insert name]is going to dance!"
  • Practice and practice until you know what you are doing! As well as helping yourself get the moves, it's good exercise, and fun!
  • Work on your self-confidence! If you become more confident, it'll show that you improved! Or, if you think you can't, don't fake it. Just keep practicing. Always be confident.
  • Don't get involved in too many "dance-offs" unless you know what you're doing...
  • Dance with friends, it's more fun that way!

Warnings

  • Don't cry in the corner! The other kids may pity you and it will ruin your time. If someone hurt your feelings, don't let it show and forget about it! Dance and have fun!
