danceinparis,
sure I love having friends in chat rooms! My nickname is fleur bacause if you know the Harry potter books and movies. the character Fleur always loses-and I always lose at stuff too, so that's why I'm her. and the 11 is my fav/ lucky #.

danceinparis,
no I am not french it's just that Fleur's my nickname. I defiantly think you should ask the boy to dance with you, don't wait for them! and it will show your confidence when you ask him to dance-some guys like confident girls. But this is a subject that is easier said then done- I have never asked a boy to dance but I have almost but I got to scared-but you don't be! Yes, I like drama. and I do like singing, but I'm not very good.

sidnee#8, or anyone else
sorry it took me so long to answer back but anyways-advice to dance with boys- we'll at my school when a boy asks you to dance(for a slow dance) you usually just rest your hands on his shoulders, or if you know him better (like he's your boyfriend)-try to put your arms closer to his neck, kinda around his neck almost. He will most likely put his hands on your waist. (oh la la!)- but don't let him put his hands to low, or to high! Then you usually just sway or slowly go around in a circle until the song is over. But while the dance is still on try and make convo-on whatever! sports, school, or if you can't think of anything at the moment, discuss the song that's on.-even if you don't know just be like "I love this song, it's so good." and from there hopefully you make a convo.
(hope I gave good advice.)-Fleur~11

born2dance, I am SO with you on that! My neighbor is really sporty, and whenever I mention I have dance that night, he always says it's so easy and anyone could do it. Plus he says it's not a real sport! It makes me SO mad!

I would love to take a dance class. I'm really into musicals with cool dancing, like the jazz dancing in "White Christmas", the 60's dancing in "Hairspray", the hip hop dancing in "The Cheetah Girls", etc.

born2dance,
I totally agree all the guys I know wouldn't stand a minute in any of my dance classes. Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Pointe, Lyrical you name it and they couldn't do it! LOL!
Love, BooButterfly
P.S. I just had the funniest idea. Try picturing a guy you know doing a Fouetté .........Hahahahahah isn't that hillarous?

OMG I LOVE TO DANCE. I have been dancing for seven years and I have taken ballet, tap, and jazz. Most people think that dance is easy but it takes a lot of strength balence and coordination. I love dance and I am never going to stop. lol smilies/wink.gif

born2dance writes:

Ballet, all the way. . . . well, I do ballet.
I think we should all promise that no matter the guy- if you like him, or not- stand up for dancing! Boys are always thinking that hockey or foot ball is harder than lyrical, or ballet, or jazz, tap, modern, cheerleading. . . . All the things that STRONG girls do! I KNOW that I could play hockey . . . but the guys I know would never survive in ballet class.

Arabesque, or Touchdown?!?!?!?!
You decide. . . . smilies/kiss.gif

I take a really fun hip hop/ cheerleading dance class with one of my friends and some other people. Right now we are working on this dance routine where we dance to the song "There Aint No Easy Way." We dance with pom-poms and cowboy hats for this routine. For the next routine we are going to dance to the song "Please Dont Stop the Music". I love that song!!!

You should keep working on it. Stretch some every day. Are you taking beginners lessons? If so, then I'll bet there are a lot of girls who haven't developed flexibility skills yet. KEEP PRACTICING! You'll get the hang of it!

Today there was a dance at school! There was this band, they were really bad at singing Soulja Boy! It's was kind of boring at first, but then by the end of the dance I was having a great time dancing with the only one of my friends that will let me dance my way if i let him dance his way.I also love Ballet! that's why none of my friends will let me dance, is because i'm no good at hip hop and stuff so all of a sudden I bust out in ballet.
