Learn How to Dance Via the Internet

Learn how to dance with the aid of Internet videos. Hip hop, Moonwalk, breakdance, etc.

I have recently undertaken the task of learning how to dance. If you are like me (I know that we at least have this website in common), your manual dexterity is limited to timing mouse clicks in order to bring down orcs and trolls, but not so graceful when coordinating multiple body parts. I am writing this article to give you the head start that I wish I had gotten.

What you will need:
1. A high-speed Internet connection
2. A full length mirror, preferably a wide one
3. A door with a lock
4. (Optional) A few adult beverages to loosen you up

Step 1: Setting the Goal

My goal is to learn how to Moonwalk, and be able to perform a few generic moves that won’t cause people to laugh at me. You may wish to learn how to breakdance, how to hip hop dance, or even how to booty dance; it doesn’t matter the Internet won’t judge you, but your friends might if you don’t remember to clear your recent Google searches.

Step 2: Find a Good How-to Video Source

I recommend an aggregate video site, this will put several quality (hopefully) dance instructors at your whim.

Step 3: Choose the Music

Get comfortable with the music that you will be dancing to. If you are going to a specific show in a month or to, practice to the music that you know will be playing at the club.

Step 4: Practice

Don’t get angry, if it doesn’t come easy, think of it as leveling-up; you will be able to Moonwalk or breakdance or whatever you choose soon enough. This is a process, it’s not automatic. This is going to be a time commitment, don’t forget that.

Step 5: Practice Some More

Step 6: Show Off your New Dance Moves

For me, this took a few months, so don’t worry if it takes a while. Just remember, keep repeating Step 5, if you want to get better.

I hope that this article helps; at least it’s a start.
