Today's video tutorials are a little unusual because they are aimed exclusively at guys. Although girls will find in them useful information for thought.
Instructor Alex Kornilov will teach you club dance lessons for guys, so watch and listen carefully. Most men believe that they know how to dance at a disco and behave very relaxed, sometimes even too much. Others, on the contrary, are shy and are always concerned about not seeming funny. Both models of behavior are unnecessary extremes. In fact, it is quite possible to belong in any company, to feel confident at a disco, while causing admiration and not irritation among girls. And only three aspects will help you with this: technique, sense of rhythm and energy. The first aspect is developed by methodically repeating movements. Spend at least half an hour dancing every day. Soon angular and unusual movements will look harmonious and natural. It is also very important to feel the rhythm. Listen to music and let it pass through you. Let it sound in you as often as possible. Move and live to the rhythm of the music. And most importantly, put energy into your dance. Technically refined, but “dead” movements will not please either you or those around you. Basically, watch club dance lessons for guys and learn how to dance at a disco to become the king of the dance floor.
This video is about dancing in pairs. Here you will find not only tips on dance technique, but also recommendations on how to meet the girl you like at a disco, how to behave when a girl has shown interest in you or, conversely, remains indifferent.
For some reason there is no second lesson on the Internet. If you suddenly discover it, write to us about it in the comments.

Almost every company considers it obligatory to hold several corporate events a year for its employees - on the occasion of the approaching New Year, as well as on the birthday of the company itself.
Such parties promote team unity in an informal atmosphere, filled with fun and the atmosphere of a real holiday.
Often, a corporate party is not limited to just a feast, but also includes a rich entertainment program with a host, competitions and, of course, a disco.
Any girl has a lot of worries about such an event - what to wear, what hairstyle to do, and also how to behave in such an environment with colleagues and superiors.
It seems that such fun parties are more suitable for young people, so a woman of forty may experience ambivalent feelings at the holiday.
On the one hand, you want to relax and support everyone’s fun, but on the other hand, there is a fear of losing face on the dance floor, surrounded by graceful young girls.
Any corporate party is organized by management precisely with the aim of encouraging their employees, in the desire to arrange a real holiday for them.
And at such events, people usually do not hesitate to have fun and relax with all their hearts, regardless of their position in the company.
Well, it’s really possible and even necessary to enjoy the holiday, but still, a woman at such an advanced age needs to “keep up her brand” and make sure that her reputation does not suffer during the fun.
In this article, we will tell you about several rules of behavior for women at a corporate party and how to present themselves with dignity on the dance floor.
There are different companies - some companies are Friendly team of 20-30 people, where everyone has known each other for more than one year, and some organizations, for example, large factories, have hundreds of employees on their staff, who often do not even know each other personally.
In any case, when planning to attend a corporate event, you should adhere to these not very strict, but still rules.
- Punctuality and dress code. The event, although festive, is still official. Most likely, before the fun begins, the management will decide to give a speech of gratitude, and maybe even award particularly distinguished employees with certificates of honor. Therefore, it would be very impolite to be late for the start of a corporate event. The dress code is also important, because the party can take place either in a restaurant, where it is appropriate to wear evening attire, or in a country club, which requires a more informal setting and comfortable clothing. Choose a sophisticated, elegant, festive, but at the same time modest outfit, no longer than knee length, without a deep neckline, while at the same time emphasizing the dignity of your figure.
- Dating, communication, conversations. If the team is unfamiliar to you, then a corporate event can be a great opportunity to make friends with colleagues. However, you should not cross the boundaries of what is permitted in communication; perhaps the interlocutor will not want to be frank even in such a fun environment. It’s also not worth talking only about work, because many people came to the party with the goal of relaxing and getting away from everyday work.
- Plan entertainment program. Any event has its own logical sequence of events - at the beginning of the evening there is usually a formal part, speeches and congratulations, followed by a buffet with snacks, drinks and communication at the table, and only when everyone has completely relaxed does the entertainment and dance program take over. Wait until most people hit the dance floor, don’t try to stand out with such an initiative as wanting to start dancing faster, because you are already a respectable lady, and not a young girl who can afford such carelessness.
How to behave on the dance floor as a woman over 40
Dancing itself seems like a very harmless form of entertainment, but in a corporate setting it can be interpreted ambiguously.
Let's think about the hidden dangers for a woman who dances at a festive event.
- A slow dance. Even if you - family woman with children, one way or another you may be invited to a romantic couples dance. Whether to accept such an invitation or not is a purely personal matter and depends on your attitude towards the very possibility of dancing with another man. However, what if the director of the company invited you? Most likely, it will be simply unacceptable to refuse him, because for someone a slow dance- this is just harmless entertainment, and your prejudices may be interpreted differently and not in your favor. Even if you accepted the invitation, try to keep the tactile contact between you and your partner as innocent as possible, and keep the distance between the bodies, which is called “pioneer”.
- Dance competitions. Although such entertainment is very fun for observers, it usually always puts the hero of the action in an awkward position. So that the next morning you don’t feel ashamed and bitter about your clumsy “steps” in the image of some character, you should politely refuse to participate in such competitions where you need to dance.
- Uninhibited dancing. It happens that the company is very cheerful and friendly, but you have “a little” too much alcohol... You want the climax of the holiday, everyone’s attention, and just prove to yourself that “there is still gunpowder in the flasks.” In this state, many ladies decide to do the unthinkable - dancing on the table and even a light striptease. Need I say how incompatible this behavior is with the image of a beautiful forty-year-old woman?
If you are not confident in your dancing skills, then it may well turn out that the only the right decision will even give up dancing altogether.
It is unlikely that anyone will be able to force you onto the dance floor if you do not want to, and the boss, on the contrary, may appreciate your restraint and seriousness.
Let's imagine that You go to night club, bar, disco, party with friends, etc.. Maybe you think that your dancing skills will be impossible to use? Of course, in such an environment, most often you cannot dance exactly the way you did in dance classes, and this is not just a matter of dance style.
BUT: Even a seemingly inappropriate dance style for the situation can be adapted
How to adapt learned movements and combinations for the dance floor?
Firstly, During the lesson you perform movements with maximum amplitude. The teacher also tries to ensure that you receive physical activity. Movements have scenic view. For a party, the dance steps need to be tidied up a little. Move with less amplitude - you don’t want to hit your neighbor’s nose with your hand. Place your feet not so wide. If there were bends in the dances, do them only symbolically. Instead of jumping, do only a subtle push of your feet. And, of course, eliminate movement on the floor. In Divadance classes, I sometimes practice performing the learned combinations in a “everyday version” in order to give people the key to using skills in life situations. Try this at home too. Then at the party you will show yourself in all your glory. Dance studio in Vyborg region
Secondly, in the classroom, teachers try to fit more movements into a unit of time. The result is compact, concentrated and short compositions. There are few of them, they often tire you quickly, etc. They are good for classes, but not always for the club. You dance for a long time - often several hours. You can’t endlessly repeat the same combinations and quickly get tired of it. One of the options is to mix fragments of such combinations with multiple repetitions of simple movements. For example, to the main part of the music you do various movements in the order they come to mind, several times. And when you hear the chorus (or simply the most expressive theme of the music), you perform a spectacular fragment of a composition known to you. And so on throughout the entire song. You can repeat the same fragment for each verse, so you make it the chorus of your dance song. Periodic repetition of any movement or connection within one song looks very harmonious. When the music changes, change your “chorus”.
Play with movements familiar to you - combine them in one or another order. It's very interesting - believe me. In addition, it creates the impression of diversity. And the repetition of movements within the dance will again strengthen your image. The music changes - remember a few other movements that are suitable for such music and have fun combining them with each other. The atmosphere of a disco or party is conducive to this, since on the one hand you are not on stage and therefore do not experience attention concentrated on you. On the other hand, you have an incentive to show yourself as more attractive.
Develop several connecting movements- those simple movements that you can repeat monotonously until you choose a further combination in your mind. This way you won’t have to stop and thereby break up your dance. Linking movements should be suitable for execution several times in a row; choose something that you can do almost without thinking.
Listen to music. Try to ensure that not only the rhythm of movements, but also the nature of the performance corresponded to the music. Sometimes move around, you can change places with other dancers.
Practice at parties, clubs - one of the best and fun ways to develop your ability to improvise. Then how are houses like this good intentions do not survive in front of TV or household chores.
Please note that there is also themed parties: R"n"B, bellydance, latino, flamenco... There you can show movements more characteristic of these styles, although the dances learned in classes still require some adaptation.
And you can also hold your own themed party(also described in a separate Divadance article), gathering a pleasant company for you.
But no matter what you do, the main thing is the facial expression. It will reveal your tortured attempts to boast about your achievements in learning dance, or it will radiate pleasure from creativity and desired leisure in good company, as well as self-satisfaction. Moreover, it is this part of the body that is closest to the eyes of your neighbors on the dance floor - your potential spectators. Dance with it!
Using dance skills in different ways
As a result of learning to dance, beautiful movement allows you to look different in the eyes of others and present yourself in a more favorable light. We have already considered one version of such a dance in article " Home striptease"- how to think and organize dance show for your loved one. Gift for loved one It can be not only striptease, but also belly dancing, and any other dance performed with feeling.
You can become a dancer and perform on stage. If something doesn’t allow you or it’s not part of your plans, you can realize yourself in amateur projects. At the Divadance dance school, similar goals are set, and everyone who wants to “reach” the stage. Physical and emotional preparation for going on stage was written in the article Divadance

Club dances are amazing in variety. They help girls establish contact with guys, which often leads to the start of romantic relationships. Some fashionistas use dancing to try to stand out from the crowd, moving attractively and gracefully.
Let's imagine that you find yourself in a beautiful nightclub. You are sitting at a table, drinking tequila, and your favorite musical composition starts playing. Under the influence of unknown forces, you slowly rise and move towards the dance floor. What's next?
- Listen carefully to the rhythm. If you manage to penetrate them, the dance will turn out elegant and graceful. A person who is out of rhythm brings disharmony to the court.
- Get rid of your insecurities and relax. Uninhibited movements look beautiful. While dancing, have fun without filling your head with thoughts.
- The first movements are always slow. During the first beat, do not swing your arms, such movements are very tiring. By the middle of the dance program you will be tired.
