Help me dance!

So, I'm in my thirties and I have a birthday coming up. My husband and I are planning on sending the kids to grandma's and spending all night at a club--our first time EVER.

We've been to clubs a few times...but only a few, and only for an hour or so, usually around 9pm, before anyone else is even there.

I can dance...sort of. But I want to dance all night! I'm in good enough shape to dance all night, but I've got zero skills.

I tried looking up club dancing "how to" videos on YouTube, and found that they're almost all for guys. Girls just shake their butts, apparently. I find that a little embarrassing...and besides, after the first song or two, don't girls want to mix it up a little?

Can anyone help me find a how-to or demonstration video on club dancing?

LOL! So does that mean that booty shaking is pretty much it?

But dancing is what we want to do.

We have a lot of single friends who go out dancing and have a blast. We've always wanted to go, too, and our friends have agreed to go out with us. Problem is, they're all male, and none of them can show me how to dance!

We'll probably also go out and eat. Then, we'll go home and have some alone time, which will be blissful in its own right, I'm sure.

But we really do want to go out and dance.

Oh, I am. But I already know how to do that!

Adarkfox...the Sprinkler? WTF? I'm seriously giggling reading your post. I'm sure you have something about being comfortable, though. I have a male friend who is totally hot and knows it, and I did get to spend a short time with him at a club at one point. It was one of those early-in-the-night things--there was practically no one there but him, his date, and me. He decided to dance, and I kid you not, he did the John Travolta point, amongst other ridiculous things, but he made them look damn good because he was so comfortable in his skin and having so much fun. I lack his confidence by a long shot. A very long shot!

Bettielee, you're officially a troublemaker.

Lacewing: LOL, I love it! I'm going to go post that to my facebook...

Cliff Face, it sounds like you and I dance about the same. I can swivel my hips in all sorts of directions, but some of them...well, most of them...don't exactly come off as lady-like. And I can't really figure out what to do with my arms.

Jimmy, if you saw the heels I'm going to wear to this, you'd understand why "drunk" is not an option!

Priene...I have no idea what the Indie-Pogo is. Makes as much sense to me as "The Sprinkler". Link?


Thank you, everyone, for taking the time to respond to this, and for making me laugh!

Go to a gig, get near the front and then hop up and down until you get RSI in one ankle.

Hey, I've done that! Minus the RSI, LOL!
