Sneaky Ways to Teach Your Man How to Dance

This could be where your guy is going wrong, so give him a hand. Once you're on the floor, place your hands on his waist (or wrap your arms around him and dip them in his back pockets), and guide him from side to side in time to the beat. Once he's got the rhythm, he'll feel way more comfortable adding some moves.

Dating a dude who stares at the floor when he dances? Not only does it make him look insecure, it'll make him feel insecure. Lock eyes with him and smile. It'll give him the boost of confidence he needs.

If he's less than confident about his dance floor moves, he'll probably mimic what you do. Subtly "teach" him a move that he'll feel comfortable doing again and again. Maybe it's shifting his weight from side to side and throwing his hands in the air at the same time, or holding your hand while you bust out your best stuff. Whatever it is, do it with him a few timeshe'll pick it up and make it his own.

You know what we meansome dudes can't get enough of the Sprinkler or Running Man. And while it was kinda funny, oh, the first 10 times you saw it, it gets pretty old fast. Next time your guy tries it, roll your eyes and give a half-grin, or ease off the floor. He should get the message.

If he makes a move that's great (or even semi-decent), tell him. Lean in and say something like, "that was hot." Dancing is all about confidencethe more he has, the better he'll be.

If you've been at it on the floor for a bit, take a breather. It'll give him a chance to process all the great (subtle) pointers you threw his way and also let him cool down. If he's not used to tearing it up like you do, he'll need it.

Sure, you can guide him, but once he has the basics down, let him just be himself when he's breaking it down. He'll end up having more funand you will too.
