How to Dance at a Club _ Hip-Hop How-to

What's up ?

My name is Matt Stina .

And today I'm gonna teach you how to dance at a club , the beginner dance moves .

These are things that you can go into a club tonight and start doing right away and get your groove in and have a good time .

The first thing we need to work on is our basic groove .

We have two choices with this groove .

You can either rock back on the beat or you can rock forward on the beach .

It doesn't matter which one you do , but you have to pick one .

And the most important thing when you're doing any step in a club is staying on the beat .

Once we get this groove , we can add any step in .

We want for our purposes .

Today , we're gonna start with a simple step touch and I'm gonna use the groove that goes back .

So when I say the groove that goes back , I mean , if the beat is going boom , 234 , each time that base hits , I'm leaning back on the beat .

It's also important to note that it's not just my torso going back , but it's also my chin and my head pulling back this way and my knees are bouncing so that I'm going lower as I bounce back .

Let's take that simple groove and put it with a step touch .

So we have our groove here .

234 .

We're just going step , touch , step , touch , step , touch , step , touch .

The key to making these simple moves look good is being relaxed and being confident .

You can do anything with your arms as long as they follow the same rhythm that your feet are doing .

What I mean by that is if your body is going back in a rock , you want your arms to groove on that same beat , they can swing front to back , they can open and close , they can push down , they can go up , but you don't wanna have them spazzing out in different directions .

You wanna keep them smooth .

If the beat speeds up , your arms can speed up lastly with your feet , we aren't limited to just a step touch .

We can step over and over with the same foot .

For instance , turning ourselves around in a circle , we can add a slide step , touch slide , we can bounce on the beat and go back to our basic groove .

If you take these three things , your step , touch your bounce and your slides , you can have limitless combinations that you can use out of the club .

Just remember to smile .

Have a good time .

Don't be shy and keep that groove on beat no matter what .
