What kind of dances have your learned and what kind of dances you want to learn?

[NoClueFrau]

I love salsa and zumba in dancing. I have learnt a bit of gypsy dance, traditional Indian kathak and would wanted to learn Reggaeton and Bollywood free style just for fun.

I don't damn dance

Other's (specifiy)

[OpenWine]

I know a little popping and locking but normally I just dance the way it feels right (if it feels wrong I am like "damnit").

Well I want to learn finger Tutting but it requires broken fingers and turf is cool but requires broken or serpent bones to be good.
Lastly I know 1-2 stupid common german dances and wanna learn to dance like that black nonstop guy

[NoClueFrau]

I never heard about finger tutting until I youtubed it right now!!

What German dances do you know?

And come on man!! you dance. Those who love dance cannot smile less. :)

[OpenWine]

Gonna party today I am always excited about meeting people who are in a happy mood.

Walzer and Wiener walzer

I tried it out, my fingers just hurt

[NoClueFrau]

Even me xD but it would be a bit boring party.

I thought about learning Walzer.. slow steps ein, zwei, drei,... ein zwei drei. And it is not a stupid German dance. :D

You still continue doing it? Finger tutting?

[OpenWine]

If I break my fingers someday I will learn and do aswell.

Look up StratusSilver on youtube, they do such crazy stuff a lot

[NoClueFrau]

Save your fingers for better stuff xD dont break them.

The search "finger tutting" on youtube gives mostly Statussilver hits. :D its really cool even the music.

[genericname85]

i can´t dance and i´m not really into it. but if i could choose, i´d want to learn to dance like that:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGIs8JHXwI8

[NoClueFrau]

Not even the dancing in club?

Oolala thats dubstep. Planning to learn it or just want to learn it?

[genericname85]

My repertoire is restricted to bobbing and head banging xD no not gonna learn it but I think it would be cool.

[NoClueFrau]

I should say I'm expert in bobbing since I come from India. xD Even bobbing and head banging is cool.

Not even "if you find it adventurous"?

[genericname85]

i kind of don´t enjoy dancing at all. when i´m in the club i just do the bare minimum of what seems to be expected xD

[NoClueFrau]

As dancing is basic nature of us evoluted monkies (Humans). I suppose it is either of them for you.

1. Introvertedness
2. Clumsiness
3. Conscious to envionrment
4. Uncomfortable considering closeness with other humans in public
5. You dont like the music played these days
6. You don't like drinking alcohol (Which is the 0.0000000001% possibility)

Is this oma missing some points? ;)

I am sorry for your dissection but it is interesting because even I didn't enjoy dancing before a year and now I think I wasted 23 years of my life. :D

[genericname85]

1. check
2. not so much
3. check
4. check
5. most of the time
6. check... but i like being drunk xD i don´t like the taste of it.

[NoClueFrau]

You like being drunk because that removes the obstacle created by above 5 points ;) Isn't it?
Yuk yuk even I don't like the taste of it. Who cares about the taste after being drunk xD xD

[genericname85]

doesn´t need a phd in phychology to know that :P yeah... but it doesn´t work. i need to drink so much in order to forget my self consciousness that i can´t walk properly anymore.

[NoClueFrau]

I didn't know it. I tasted alcohol for the first time when I was 23. Shock shock for me.
If you drink "that much" obviously you cannot dance anymore!! I was wondering don't you want to free out the inner self via dancing, z. B. "I like to move it, move it"? xD xD

[genericname85]

unspokenpictures.com/.../...nt-like-to-move-it.jpg

i´m too affraid of putting myself out there. so much so, that i don´t even feel the urge. for example if people start raising their hands/fists in a song, i´m like "oh ok so i´ll do that too, i guess" ... but i´m not feeling it.

[NoClueFrau]

The thing in club is... if they do it, then you don't do it.
A year before, I was constantly made fun of by Indian community because I couldn't dance. (We all dance Bollywood like mad.) I didn't know how to dance until Jagermeister happened. xD xD Thanks to Germany <3
Okay I get it. you don't like to move it, move it.
I just feel there is something "stagnant" inside when you don't dance. Like something waiting to break out. I don't know. Don't want to push this topic more. :)

[genericname85]

you may push the topic as far as you want XD
the fear of ridiculing myself is too big and i had enough negative feedback in my life.

[NoClueFrau]

Negative feedback (like a brick thrown towards you) can either build you or make you negative. Why let people get over your head? They ridicule? Who cares? (Or you care?)

[genericname85]

yeah, i care, because i try to love people around me. if they try to hurt me, it´s easy for them. if i go outside of my shell, i get hurt and go back in. at some point, you stop bothering to go out again.

[NoClueFrau]

Hey I think I got you. I am scared to speak in German with some of my friends because I know they'll make fun of my mistake and I'll lose face. I keep on using English with them out of fear.
I exactly got it what you mean by going back into the shell again. I feel stupid now. xD xD sorry.

[genericname85]

why do you feel stupid? :D you just opened yourself up to me just like i opened up to you :) that´s good and i appreciate it. i think in your case your friends love you and if they laugh about a mistake then they don´t laugh about you are ridicule you, they just find you adorable. mistakes are adorable :D

[genericname85]

it´s a problem though, when strangers laugh at you and do actually ridicule you.

[NoClueFrau]

Stupid like optimistically stupid. What I myself didn't follow, I was pushing the same thing on you. That was wrong of me.
Yea for my whole life my friends would tease me for speaking "Ich möchte mein Deutsch VERGESSEN" instead of "Ich möchte mein Deutsch VERBESSERN." ;D
And if the discussion does not involve opening up, it is fruitless. It is appreciated by oma too xD

[genericname85]

lol why do you call yourself oma by the way? ^^

[NoClueFrau]

Wherever I find Oma's around me, I converse with them and guess what?
I get free hugs from them, enough to melt. <3 So my friends call me Oma (Because I prefer "Older" people over "younger" ones)

[genericname85]

that´s so freaking adorable :D

[NoClueFrau]

Some oma's initially think I'm freaking xD (No adorable)
Thank you. :)
It was interesting discussion. ;D I'd bid the farewell now. Good night.

[genericname85]

my pleasure :D good night.

[OpenWine]

Nonstop dubstep.
Heheh I am practising this one but I can't beat that black guy, still trying to dance to the music and doing fine actually

[NoClueFrau]

@OpenWine you learned dubstep by yourself?

[OpenWine]

Yeah why not, there's nobody who could tell me better to raise up one leg and then slide that shit

[genericname85]

good thing is: nowadays you can learn any dance via youtube and maybe a big mirror XD

[NoClueFrau]

One positive use of internet revolution!!

[PiuBelloAmante]

i want to learn Bollywood freestyle as well!!!

https://youtu.be/uz7YK7tx-D8

[NoClueFrau]

Hritik Roshan <3 I love this guy. He moves to kill :D

[PiuBelloAmante]

He has fire on his feet and passion in his heart 😍😍😍

[NoClueFrau]

Woah are you from India?

[PiuBelloAmante]

No.. i am american-Italian-mexican :)
Live in the USA :)
but i love hindi films and music, but my favorite is the dance :)

[NoClueFrau]

Have you learned Bollywood dancing or you like to just move to the sound?
I am from India and I so feel good :D :)
You also know this one right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqAK8jKKI5A

[PiuBelloAmante]

Of course dhoom 2 is one of my favorites! <3
haha i like all the dances/songs in it!

I haven't learned how to dance bollywood :( but want to, there is an indian dance group at my uni, and the girls are just awesome <3 haha!

[NoClueFrau]

I love all the songs and dances of dhoom 2 too. :D Too much of music and hotness. xD xD
Even Dhoom 3 has good dances.

You should join the Bollywood dance <3 it releases so much of stress. =D There are so many girls in bollywood classes but not guys xD You would definitely be the lucky minority there.

[PiuBelloAmante]

At my uni I don't know if they classes 😕
They just have a dance group and the guys in it are like a bunch of young Shahrukh Khans 😭

I need to see if there are classes near me 😂

I need to see dhoom3!!!

[NoClueFrau]

Hey!! Shahrukh khan look alikes are no reason to keep you away from bollywood girls :D

And if you really want to try I think it's fascinating to see others than brown guys dance to the Bollywood. I would totally ignore shahrukh khans in this video and only look for whites and blacks xD xD
Nothing racist its just amusing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjNExFo7xyY

Don't be hesitant.. go for it.

[PiuBelloAmante]

lol! thank you for the mho!!
i will definitely try and find classes! then i will try out :/
wish me luck :)

[NoClueFrau]

Good luck :D Live the bollywood dances. Go "PiuBelloAmante" ... go and live your life xD xD So cheesy and Bollywood dialogue.
Welcome :)

[PiuBelloAmante]

Haha I will certainly try 😝😝😝
There aren't many Bollywood classes in my area though 😔

Might have to ask one of those girls to teach me 😰

[NoClueFrau]

Yes I support you in that.
I think a person into Bollywood would respond nicely. :)
I hope and wish you get a "YES" in response ;)

[PiuBelloAmante]

saw them today, was too chicken to ask lol!
:(

[NoClueFrau]

Approach slowly and skillfully :D

[fondue]

https://youtu.be/eBqkBBfmcfU

I can kinda bob my head to the left and right, and I'm pretty good at the 'hands on the steering wheel' move. And lean back. Got that shit too.

[fondue]

Not even gonna lie - that was me throwin down at a house party a few months ago. #noshameinmygame

[NoClueFrau]

What seriously this is you? This is cool :D

[ElissaDido]

Mostly Belly-dancing because that's the dance we use the most in events back home...

[NoClueFrau]

wow wow wow !!! I want to learn it too. You trained yourself?

[ElissaDido]

I never took classes, we just dance it from the age of 4 here haha and it's female relatives who taught me, mostly my grandmother :)

[NoClueFrau]

Amazing!! I really love belly dancing. It's so attractive. I want to learn it too and I'm surely going to take classes next semester but I know it cannot be compared to the traditional teaching you got.

[ElissaDido]

You just need to feel the music, no need to be dancing it for years to master it ^^ Good luck <3

[NoClueFrau]

Im gonna try it :D No matter what.

[ElissaDido]

Thanks for MHO :D <3

[NoClueFrau]

Welcome :)

[springocelot]

i tried salsa and argentine tango before
it's been a damn long time since i've done either since life got in the way
would love to take either up again

[NoClueFrau]

I hope you get back to salsa again or the salsa takes over you :)

[Anonymous]

I've thought of learning to dance, taking a class at college, or something, and I even tried taking one at my college but, there was someone in the class I knew, but didn't like, and dropped the class immediately. I may try again. I know that woman like a man who can dance but, I don't think they expect him to, they just want him to "have fun", after all, girls just want to have fun, right?

[NoClueFrau]

Oh why would you drop the class because of someone?

O my god! When I see my salsa instructor "Carlos" dance! I am like... did I lose my capacity to think rationally. xD

Dancing is a benefit for guys but girls love the stiff ones too xD At least I do. If you cannot dance with them, dance around them.

[Opinion Owner]

That's silly. If you can't dance, why dance at all

[NoClueFrau]

Whats silly?

[Opinion Owner]

To "dance around them"

[NoClueFrau]

Whats the problem with them? Around does not mean mocking them!

[Opinion Owner]

Just sayin'

[CHARismatic110]

I looooove Zumba. I do hip hop dances and love dancing to reggaeton. I'd like to take a belly dancing class. I can do it a little, but I'd like to learn more.

[NoClueFrau]

Wo wo wo we are in the same boat :D I love Zumba. Like shaking that booty xD It feels amazing. I want to learn Reggaeton.. I bet you'd be master in it? You also do belly dance :D high five.

[NoClueFrau]

Can you give me good zumba tracks like in playlist?
I love this one a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7m56MTUx3c

[CHARismatic110]

Lol love the booty shakin! And I know most of the songs from my Zumba dvd.

[NoClueFrau]

Can you message me some? even screenshot of your playlist would be great...

[PropaneAccessories]

I can do the sprinkler, lawnmower, and sustained hip thrusts but that's about it.
I would like to learn proper dancing though because I look like a stupid, uncoordinated giant

[NoClueFrau]

lawnmower has cool moves. So to not look like a stupid, uncoordinated giant which dancing form would you like to learn? :)

[PropaneAccessories]

I am clueless when it comes to proper dancing. I don't even know the names of the forms. Except tango. Tango is the only one I remember.

[NoClueFrau]

Just free your body first with random dancing even if it's dancing in club or get togethers or just with friends.
When your body is familiar with moves go for proper dancing. :) There are countless dance forms.
This is zumba: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK6zwDOo-f4 (Men find zumba funny but it is good on them too)

[PropaneAccessories]

I'm easily embarrassed so I'd probably have to have a few drinks and do it alone XD

You're right. Zumba is funny. It just looks ridiculous to me but people find enjoyment from it so there's no hate. Proooobably not my thing though :D

[NoClueFrau]

Jup... So drink and dance. Once the dancer "avatar" comes out it makes things easy to express. :)

:O Zumba is awesome and enjoyable. I just need the song to begin and I would start tapping my feet on the cold expressionless streets of Germany. :D You can try Salsa too.

[PropaneAccessories]

The dancer in me is only a few away from sober to be released. XD

Sie stammen aus Deutschland?
I'm sorry if I butchered that. Being from Australia I don't have much choice in anyone who can correct my mistakes. :P

[NoClueFrau]

Then be it :D Leave sobriety for some occasions and go for the madness.

You meant I come from Germany? Then no. I live here but I'm not from Germany.

[PropaneAccessories]

Madness? This is Sparta!

Oh that's cool :D
I don't remember where I was going with that but I like Germany c:

[NoClueFrau]

Sparta xD xD

I kinda like Germany too xD Hope I like it further.

[PropaneAccessories]

Autobahn, cars, beer, cars, more beer, the language, nice people, cars and of course beer!
Every reason to like it in my opinion XD

[NoClueFrau]

I agree to every point mentioned :D

[PropaneAccessories]

I'm glad you do! Germany does those things well :D

[Hollywood-Glam]

I would love to learn ballet dancing, it's so me ^_^
media.giphy.com/media/cZ73o4CaVWxPy/giphy.gif

[NoClueFrau]

You mean cute and lady like. <3 Go for it.

[Whoooooooooo]

As someone with the flexibility and grace of an old oak tree I have to chose option A

[NoClueFrau]

Noooooo xD xD Not even with few shots of tequila?

[Whoooooooooo]

With alcohol involved I have the moves like Jagger hahah

[NoClueFrau]

I knew it xD xD We all love booze because of one same reason. Makes you free.

[sketchy]

I've just about mastered big fish / little fish, but that's my limit.

[NoClueFrau]

Its good sometimes to g dance on big fish / little fish. Relieves tension. xD

[ConsultantIsBack]

Lots of hiphop believe it or not from a white guy, I want to learn more Latin. And I taught some ballroom in college. I love dancing.

[NoClueFrau]

I have seen a lot of whites dance good hip hop but in general NO. Please specify what "Latin" includes (salsa, mambo, merengue, tumba, bachata, bomba)?
I have never had any ballroom dancing ever! I would like to experience it too.

[ConsultantIsBack]

Salsa

[NoClueFrau]

Salsa is amazing <3 and you'd play a really important part in it because you lead.

[ConsultantIsBack]

Ya! And I've always been drawn to Latinas, so I need to learn that

[NoClueFrau]

Oh yes one of the first things to learn in your case of interest.

[Filipe97]

I've learned the basics of Breakdancing (the Top rock and 6-step)

[NoClueFrau]

You'd want to continue it?

[Filipe97]

I'd like to but since it's not important to me I'd rather use my remaining free time to workout

[NoClueFrau]

hahahahaha :D I understand you in tht ;)

[Filipe97]

Yeah... :)

[Anonymous]

I don't really dance, I mean, I will if like, my friend starts it but, generally, I don't. I don't learn "organized" dance like you do

[NoClueFrau]

Do you mean club dancing here?

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah?

[NoClueFrau]

Even thats dancing and requires skills. :)

[Opinion Owner]

No, twerking, is not a skill. Sigh

[NoClueFrau]

There are things other than twerking :/

[Opinion Owner]

You said clubbing, dances in clubs are not real dances

[NoClueFrau]

Still dancing in clubs gives immense confidence.

[mskay]

Contemporary.. and well, ballet.

[NoClueFrau]

ballet requires so much of efforts <3 I would not be able to do ballet ever. You must be very patient person.

[mskay]

Nah, I'm quite the opposite actually lol! I learned it since I was young, then quit that to learn rhythmic gymnastics..

[NoClueFrau]

Thats more adventurous than ballet. :)

[mskay]

ahah it is indeed. Thank you (:

[NoClueFrau]

Welcome :)

[lifes_curve_ball]

My dancing skills are nonexistent

[NoClueFrau]

How about just moving legs and hands like no one's watching you? ;)

[jakeofalltrades]

I don't dance

[NoClueFrau]

Thats a bit sad :/
