Some of my staff at work have been trying to get me to go "clubbing" with them. These are mostly 22 and 23 yr old girls. But I am a 40 yr old very white guy!
I grew up listening to ZZ Top, AC/DC and Bryan Adams for Christ sakes!
While I do listen to and like their music, I have no idea how to dance now and am afraid of looking like some over-protective dad or perv in the club LOL. How can I learn quickly so I don't look like a fool?
(I already have the wardrobe figured out though, ie. no jeans with belt and shirt tucked in!)
Help me!

Straight white guys don't dance.

I guess Elvis Presley, Patrick Swayze, Justin Timberlake aren't white nor straight then.

I feel your pain stang. I know a co-worker asked me to go clubbing and I said no thanks. Not because I couldn't dance because at the "clubs" (where they play "house" music) all you do is bounce.....not really "dnace".
 
I with you there my brother... I'm also in my 40's and a "white" guy...

Although I don't go "clubbing" with the younger generation, I have been to clubs with Mrs. CG on many occasions where she wants to get her groove on. Being white, and unschooled in the art of dance... I am somewhat "dance move deficient" so I tend to kind of move or as tboy pointed out "bounce"! LOL! As long as you are doing so with the beat of the music, you won't look TOO much like an idiot! LOL :D

I also find that at our current "club" of choice, there is an older crowd and I am not the only 40's "ish" white guy bouncing to the beat of the music... so I feel less like an idiot. (Strength in numbers! LOL)

Of course there is something to be said when there also happens to be half naked chicks dancing with each other all the time too! I can pretty much guarantee you in such a situation... NOBODY is looking at guys like us! LOL!
 
Dancing is for bringing rain and good harvests.

We don't need more rain this year.
 
You need to see Denny Terrio! He taught John Travolta how to dance and he can teach YOU!
 
I'm a white guy and have seen it before.....Latino's ,blacks, tend to be hip swaying before they even get to the dance floor.Whites,asians,tend to get there and then"begin to dance".It's a bizarre ritual I had to "go with the groove" in my 20's for a chance at sex.....now...you couldn't drag me up there for a little "white man's overbite" attempt at dancing.

Subsequently guys tend to embarrass themselves even more if they can't when they try.I have a friend in his mid 30's that my wife and I went with(part of a group) about 2 year ago now.Athletic,good looking.......hit that dance floor and COMPLETELY killed any chance of meeting anyone that night...looked like a full body spasm.

OK, Stang, I can help you.

Go to the kitchen. Wear the shoes you plan to use in the club (you did say you have the wardrobe figured out and shoes are part of it).

Put on, say a Bryan Adams CD, and preferably a faster piece.

OK.

1. Now, just stand with your feet 8 - 10 inches apart.

2. Listen to the beat, however you wish to interpret it, but be consistent.

3. Now step ON THE SPOT with each beat (we'll work on the hands later), lifting only the heel off the floor and leaving the big toe and the inner upper part of the ball of the foot on the floor.

4. Once you have that going, just slowly rotate around either to the left or right.

5. Now the hands. Just raise up like holding a balloon with a circumference that matches your shoulder width. Got that?

That's a good start. Now practice twice a week for 10 minutes.

So PM me a week from now and let me know what you think.

Timberlake might be white but...

As for clubbing, depending on how you dress and what club, I'd suggest skipping it unless you are just out to just enjoy yourself. Find out what clientele the club caters to. If your goal is to get some...you might rethink. The term sugar daddy comes to mind (of course you might not mind that).

Of course the girls in question might enjoy your company and just want you to hang out with them and that's great - as long as you don't mind being looked at funny by the young punks there.



As for the dancing, just relax and do what feels right (actually it's sort of like sex, pay attention to the reactions of the people around you and don't worry about asking them for advice - having a hot 23 year old showing you how to move sounds like it could make a fun night).
 
White men don't dance. White men twitch in rhythm.
I'm in my mid 20's, and hate going to the clubs. Can't dance, the music sucks, the crowds suck, the drinks are overpriced, and the chances of getting laid are too good. Most of the girls their aren't wearing panties because the gonorrhea eats through them.
 
Have you mentioned to the girls that it's been years since you've been out dancing, and that you'll need their support to get you back into it - that it may take a few nights of their help.

Then, when you do go, sway back and forth between your left and right foot, trying to not move your arms or head too wildly. (No need to be a frozen statue) Bounce lightly (not much, just enough to put a very small spring in your step) on each foot a few times, then switch to the other foot. And so on.

After a while, as you feel comfortable, you can lightly clap a few times to the beat of the song (as much to give your hands something to do as anything), but not so long as to bore anyone.

And if it doesn't help, remember what you paid for the advice.

The time: Mid 1950's
The place: A night club in NYC
The players: A mob boss, his "doll" and 3 boxing champs; Carmen Basilio, Jake LaMotta and Rocky Graziano

The group is living it up, drinking and laughing, when the boss says, "Carmen, dance wit da doll"
Carmen and the doll hit the floor for a couple of songs and return to the table. More drinks. More laughs. The boss says "Jake, dance wit da doll".
LaMotta and the doll do a few turns on the dance floor and return to more drinks and revelry.
The boss says, "Rock, dance wit da doll". Rocky and doll dance, dance dance. Back to the table. By now everyone is well into the beverages and losing their inhibitions. One of the boxers says, "Boss, why don't you dance wit da doll?" The boss removes the cigar from his mouth and says, " Nah, tough guys don't dance."

You can't hang out with them. I am in the same boat (younger staff). It doesn't work and they will simply think you are a goof. Instead, meet them for drinks somewhere nice (and where there's no dancing) or go for dinner at a classy place their 20-something boyfriends don't normally take them. Then when its time for you to either go home or go to a pub, graciously bow out for the rest of the evening so they can go off "clubbing" with their own generation. They will think you are both fun and classy.
