Learn to Dance Blog

I came here from Ireland and get treated badly by black girls.

I want to go out and have fun but black girls always try to yell at me and fight. Why? I never say a word to them or fight with them. I do not understand this.

How am I supposed to act around black people that will keep them from starting fights?

Thank you for your grace.

I know this sounds weird, but this is just typical. They always act this way to anyone who is better looking then themselves. Your only problem is that you are pretty and white. they can not handle this and will either use the race card or act out as you have said.

Sorry but even America has it’s mistake, and they are them.

LOL, email me for my number… LOL!

Think about it, Look at the poster "BABY MOMMA", she looks like a Zulu warrior and went striaght to the race card. "Wite Girl", she can not even spell. Do not worry about people like this, they only try to keep you down.

Go out and have fun, God bless sister.
LOL!

My dance teacher at school showed us a routine for our semester recital. Unfortunately, there is a toe rise, or exorcist, move that I simply CANNOT get down. I know what position your body is supposed to execute, but I can’t push hard enough to get off of the ground and thrust my hips out.
HELP, the recital’s this coming Tuesday.

I have installed the Seasons and Business expansion pack,but I do not have nightlife. A want that keeps coming up is "Slow dance with another Sim" but I heard that you need the Nightlife expansion pack for slow dancing. Can somebody please help!?

"It does require that you have Nightlife installed. If you don’t have Nightlife, but have a pack that’s newer than it, your Sims may get the want to slow dance, but it’s impossible to fulfill it. This is yet another bug that no patch has fixed."

I want it it be easy yet fun and calorie burning.

Ballroom, latin and swing dancing.

Salsa and cha cha are excellent excercise. (for latin)

Swing hustle and single swing are excellent, especially as you go more advanced in single swing. (lots of drops and flips and turns. not as hard as it looks either )

It’s very fun right from the start and you don’t have to be competitive, it’s very very social. You can dance cha cha, salsa and swing hustle (as well as some slower dances such as bolero and rumba) in clubs and things as well to popular dance music, plus you look more impressive than all the drunk slutty people. (lol)

It’s usually cheaper to take than things like ballet. There’s no easy easy dance to learn, it always takes work and a partner that you connect well with. The fastest way to learn is to dance with the old folks who know what they’re doing. especially being a lady. they have to lead not you, and if you have a strong leader you will learn much much faster.

soo this fall im planning to go back to ballet like i used and i want to try modern. I have tried lyrical too. but i want to know how flexible i should be for MODERN DANCE. any tips? advice? any help will be fine :]

You need just as much flexibility for modern as you need for ballet. The ballet classes will help with that. If you know how to stretch correctly then begin doing that at home. Don’t forget to warm up first. You should never stretch cold. You can even stretch after a warm bath.

I struggle to pick up Dance routines Is there any ways i can get better at this?

Besides trying to pick up where in the song a move fits it which I find a little difficult sometimes unless the teacher points out something like…when they say "ladies" pick up your head. I found that if you add sound effects to the moves you are learning or come up with other names for the move…lets say you are twisting your ankle you could say "put out the cigarette" to help remember to twist your ankle. We have one part in my hip hop class where we say "zoom drop boom" to help us remember what we were doing. Besides working on the routine everyday at least once, this is my best suggestion.

During dance classs what would be a way to soak up whatthey are telling you better? (that sounds stupid…) haha, for exaple like in leaps and turn when they are showing you some footwork for the leap what wpuld be a way to udnerstand and do it better while doing it yourself? thanks for the help!! =D

two words: muscle memory. when you do something enough times your muscles remember what the move is supposed to be. just pay close attention in class and when a teacher makes a correction or demonstrates something do it too even if the correction doesnt apply to you make sure youre not going to get corrected for the same mistake. take what you do in class and practice at home too and you could even ask your teacher for a private lesson that way they can focus only on you and not everyone else in the class

I am a senior this year at my school with only a year and a half of experience of dancing. I am now in advanced dance. The girls in my class all have tons of experience and I sadly don’t. At the end of the year for our recital, usually 4-5 seniors get to choreograph a solo and perform it. It is a tryout. I would like to know what moves I could put into a lyrical dance that would assure me a spot in the recital. I know how to do a lot of advanced moves, although I am not excellent at them.
Stags
Seconds
Axels
Pitch
triple pirouettes
Those are some things that I know how to do, but am not incredible at them. How could I make a dance using those, and make it look good? Are there any other moves that are simple that I could make look decent? Thanks!!

First off, practice the moves you can do to be sure that you are good at them… once you can feel comfortable in them, you can do all of them in your dance, but seperate them out with movements in between.. (its important, especially when doing lyrical, to do movements from your core, and make sure that you stretch every part of you, toes, fingers, neck, all of it.) Try focusing though on kicks and leaps, and if you can, then bat ma (spelling) turns. (We call them leg spins, I’m not sure what you call it.)

Remember that Lyrical is a passionate dance. You dont have to have impressive tricks to make an awesome lyrical dance, as long as you feel it. Try looking up different dances on youtube or something just to get a feel. I dont know what your competition is, but if you have made it to an advanced class in just a year and half, then i’d say thats pretty impressive. Check out videos, but good luck in your audition!
