All My Party Peoples!!!

So, ya'll wanna learn how to dance? Then let's go! Let's learn how to dance!

As a gift for my 100th post :]
Last Updated: 5-12-02

First off, i know that most of us know how to freestyle dance. Meaning, just moving and shaking your body on beat to the music, and hopefully most of us know how to grind. But what would we do when the more serious dancers step up to the middle and start showing off some REAL dancing? Are we going to try to test our intermediate skill against theirs!? Hell no... We'd get our asses booed!

The Hype
Before u can even dance good in public...u need to have that sense of hype. You need to feel the adrenaline and the rush that comes along with the music. You need to visualize the crowd cheering you on while you perform your well practiced series of moves with confidence. You need to be excited! You need to dance as if nobody is watching, yet while you are impressing the world. You need to be the sh*t. You need to be all that. You need to have the feeling in which you are the Greatest Dancer Ever Lived. Well...you get my point right?

Achieving The Hype
Hopefully the party you step into ain't whack. There should be a few dancers willing to try to step up against you or atleast start to show off. If not, consider yourself exclusive, and wait until there are people worth showing (i've been to a few where only about 3 or 4 people step on the dance floor). Make sure you bring your friends (you need them to Hype you up.) Also, make sure that you're feelin' the music...cuz if not, you can't get Hype (make a request to the DJ if needed.) Once the music starts and people start jumpin' and booties start shakin' and it starts gettin' wild, you need to join them and your friends also. Dance with a few girls, grind with some, do your "freestyle" dancing but just minimally (if you need some help on "grinding" with girls, heres a nice post: ../../../ubb/Forum2/HTML/001237.html). If you try to dance too hard while there's not alot going on, you'll waste too much energy. Finally, after a few songs have finished playing, one of the "Hype" songs will start playing. You'll know its a hype song when everyone starts clapping (meaning its a popular song). Hopefully thats when a group decides to form a "circle" and start showin' off some skill, but if not, make a "circle" with your friends and start there. By now, you should be feelin' the music, you should be loose (from previous dancing), and you should be confident and full of energy... now it's time to dance ;].

** POPULAR TYPES OF DANCING **

- Popping/Locking
- Breakdancing
- Shaking
- House
- Raving

All of these are popular dances (House may be a little outdated though) that you can do during the middle of "The Circle." (My personal favorites are popping, breaking, and shaking.) First, if you weren't the starter of the circle, it's best that you go along with the first type of dancing that the first guy who went up did. It would be kind of weird if everyone was shaking and then u come out of nowhere and just start raving.

I usually put "The Circle" in two categories. The "Showoff" Circle, and the "Battle" Circle.

The Showoff Circle
This seems pretty self-explanatory. The Showoffs...where you show off (doh). Basically, anyone who feels like going up just goes up whenever they went (just dont be rude and try to kick someone off while they're doing something.). Some of the times, when there is alot of skill involved, the crowd gets very hyped and cheers for one person. Another person then comes in to show that he has more to show off than the other. Being successful...the crowd cheers again. The same person who went up before him, goes up again to overcome what the last guy did...and yada yada yada. This is when it turns into a battle. When two people do a dance against eachother to see who is better. This only happens sometimes when one person in the crowd feels he can do better than another person (not a bad thing! this is how YOU should feel!). But anyways...this is a show off circle. ;]. Now to the battles!

The Battle Circle
This is probably to the point where you have to be at your PEAK HYPE in order to be the best (plus a little practice before.) Some battles are pre-planned (for those who are in "clicks" and "crews"). But, lots of them are straight out of hype. This can be really fun, so get ready >;]. This is usually very different from Showoff because the moves should be slightly more enthusiastic and "violent" in a way. Most of the moves you do...you have to try to insult the person you are battling against. The point is to get the crowd to cheer for you and go "ooooh!" when you do a spectacular move against your opponent. Now THAT is HYPE! May the best dancer win (the most creative, the most realistic, and the most hype).

Now that you know how to get Hyped and how to start a circle...and a little bit about whut goes on inside these circles, its time to actually learn the dances ;]. I will only briefly explain each and maybe give a few tips but if you would like, its best you research the rest on your own, for there are websites and books on these dances themselves!

THE MOVES

Make sure you practice these well at home. It's best if you stand in front of the mirror so you know what you're doing. And make sure that you KNOW you look good ;].

* * * * * *

- POPPING -

Four of the main things that you will do during popping (plus many more) are the Moonwalk, Armwave, Bodywave, and Twist-O-Flex. This is my favorite to do and probably the most practical. If you can pop, you can dance!

1. THE MOONWALK
Alright, as you stand on your left foot TOES, and slide the Right foot the the right, you will raise yourself up on your RIGHT foot TOES...
Now, putting your left foot FLAT on the ground, PIVOT (in a counter-clockwise direction) on your right toes while dragging your flat left foot towards your right...that move is a cross between a backslide and a sideglide...
What I personally do is, as you are pivoting on your RIGHT toes...slide your left flat foot 'in' towards your right, then push it 'out' away from your right...if you were standing still in one place, it would look like you slid your left foot towards your right, then back out, but what you are REALLY doing is pivoting around, so it gives a way-cooler illusion of movement...
anyhow, after you have slid your left flat foot away, (you should be facing a different direction...how much different it up to you...) raise yourself up on your left toes, and slide your now FLAT right foot towards your left raised foot...again, you are PIVOTING on your left toes, doing the same movements as before...
After this, it's just repetition as long as you want...don't forget to do someting (anything!) with your arms, because if they just stay stationary it looks kinda dorky...
Now maybe you see why you are 'spinning in a circle while spinning in a circle'...I'm not even sure if this is the move everyone is talking about...I was just backsliding one day, and I tried to linke into a slideglide, and then I couldn't stop spinning! :-)
You don't make ALL your turns at 180 degrees, so you face the exact opposite direction...if you did that, then ya, you would just be sliding back and forth along the same damn line...heh, I still think it looks cool though! ANYHOW, after you start the slide, and as you begin to pivot just as you said you do, and you slide the left foot in towards your right which is doing the pivoting and supporting your weight, you only want to pivot ~90 degrees at first...you can vary the degree that you turn later on after you work out the kinks...what you don't want to end up doing is revolving the exact same amount every turn...it loses a lot of it's "fluidity" after a while...
Now, don't forget, as you are pivoting, you are sliding the foot that ISN'T supporting your weight at all times...that is what makes the whole illusion work...
Plus, a BIG-FAT-MOTHERLOAD part of this glide are the arms...while arms are always (IMHO) really really important, for some reason the are ignored during glides...it really doesn't matter what you do with them so long as you are swinging them around, or just passing waves through them, or whatever...I look at is as making them see the "whole" picture of you WHOLE body moving around as if it is floating across the dance-floor instead of the crowd focusing in on your only your feet...

2. THE ARMWAVE
put your arm (right) out to the side
now, bend your fingers down, but not into a fist...point them to the ground
now, bend your wrist down to the ground...
next, pop your elbow up, and at the same time, smooth out your wrist and fingers
now, pop your shoulder up, while pretty much straightening the whole arm...this should have made a "wave" travel from the tips of your fingers to your shoulder...i cant stress how important it is to make sure that u start at your fingers...it is these little technicalities that really make it look good
the wave is in your shoulder, so now that u have popped up the right shoulder, bring both shoulders back, which will pop out your chest...make sure u pop out your chest as far as possible
now, pop the left shoulder up,...both arms should be at your side at this point, with only your left shoulder up...
now, put your left shoulder back down, and kick your left elbow out...technically "up" i guess, because it should be at your side at first...
then, raise up your forearm, keeping your wrist bent down

3. THE BODYWAVE
*first, i think it is easiest to try doing this move in segments, step by step...then make it 'flow' later
stand up straight, lookin at the crowd (or mirror)
next, lift your shoulders, while the rest of you remains pretty straight
now, throw your shoulders back, which will also pop out your chest
now, throw your shoulders forward, which will cave in your chest (hollowing it out)... at the same time, throw your hips/pelvis forwards
now, bring your hips back in, and bend your knees... it should kinda look like you are about to sit on an invisible chair... while bending the knees, you should also raise yourself on your toes
at this point, you should be standing on your toes, with your knees bent, sitting on a chair that isn't there
now, for the way back up...
put your toes flat on the ground, while simultaneously straightening your knees...
after that, jut your hips out again...
then, bring hips back in, and then pop chest out / bring shoulders back
then, just move the shoulders up, while the rest of you is straight
and thats it!
when you are doing it, try and get it so that when you are moving the wave from your head to toes, you are "shrinking"...you should appear shorter than you are... and on coming back up, you should straighten to your full height...it makes it look better with that in mind
push your chest out and hips in as far as possible for maximum phatness

4. THE TWIST-O-FLEX
Isolation is very important in this move! (as in all popping) Keep all parts of the body that aren't moving VERY STILL.
Step 1- Stand up straight, looking forward. Turn your head to one side, and stop.
Step 2- Turn your shoulders and arms to the same side, and stop.
Step 3 (Optional)- Turn your hips, and stop.
Step 4- turn the rest of your body (legs and feet). You should now be facing 90 degrees from where you started.
Make your own variations and be creative. =)

* * * * * *

- BREAKING -

This is the hardest type of dance you will ever do. It is also the most amazing type of dancing, most eye catching, and most breathtaking. You can't even imagine how many props you will get for nice breakdancing...it is better than any of the other dances, and takes the most skill. It's so good, it's even dangerous sometimes!! There are hundreds of different breakdancing moves...but since I can't tell you everything...i'll teach you the basics.

1. TOPROCK
It's a 4-step 4-beat dance. You start out standing with feet together. Then you skip forward with your right leg in front of your left, on it's toe. (beat one, which should be the hard beat) Then you skip backwards on the left foot. (beat two) This is why you went on your toe, because that right foot is gonna be going backwards as soon as it hits, When you skip backwards on the left foot you then go back to the starting position. Then you skip forward with your left foot in front of your right, on it's toe. (beat three, which shuld be the hard beat) Now skip backwards on your right foot back to the starting position. (beat four)
Thats it!! What should your hands be doing? Well the wrists should always be kept loose and dangling. On every hard beat they should go behind your back toward each other. On any other beat after that they can do anything you want, just be sure to keep with the hip-hop attitude. What do I mean by hard beat? Well most hip-hop has a 4 beat basis to it. It has a beat thats low on bass..one that's more treble or percusion than anything else. This low on Bass beat is the hard beat. Then it has another two beats that are low, heavy on the bass beats, followed by another hard beat. What I describe here is basci toprock, remember to make your own style and to travel a lot. Traveling is taking up a lot of room as you dance, this clears room for your sixsteps. Think of creative ways to get from top-rock to six-steps and back.

2. SIXSTEP
For counter-clockwise six-steps, start from a push-up position with your legs spread (this seems kinda silly, but it's the easiest way to explain it, you can start from any position).
1) Lift your RIGHT arm, and move your LEFT leg through so it's in front of your RIGHT leg.
2) Move your RIGHT leg so that your RIGHT foot is BEHIND the LEFT foot (your legs will be crossed LEFT over RIGHT).
3) Move your LEFT foot in a small arc so your legs are uncrossed. At the same time switch your hands (pick the LEFT one up, and put the RIGHT one down.
4) Extend your RIGHT leg and sweep it around (wide) in a counter-clockwise arc so that your LEFT foot ends up covered by your RIGHT knee joint and your RIGHT foot is almost touching your butt (NOTE: Steps 3 and 4 should be done in quick succession).
5) Put your LEFT hand back down on the ground, and move your LEFT leg back to where it was in the push-up position.
6) Move your RIGHT leg back to where it was in the push-up position, and you find yourself back at the beginning. Now, go back to step one, and repeat.
That's it. If you want go clockwise, just reverse all the LEFT/RIGHTs. One more thing, don't try to do this fast at first. Go VERY slow to get the technique down, and then increase your speed gradually. No matter how fast you go, if your footwork is sloppy, it's noticable.

3. BABYFREEZE
It's easy, but it looks damn good!
1) get down into squatting position
2) put your left elbow into your left side
3) put your right elbow on your left knee
4) get on your hands, lift your feet and put your head on the floor
Thatz it!

4. BACKSPIN
They can be done many ways, but this how I do em (counter clockwise). Start sitting on your ass with your legs straight in front of you. Now spread them out a bit and turn your upper body to your left. Take that right leg and rotate and bend it a bit so that your lower leg is off to your right side with the knee is pointing straight ahead. Your sole of your right foot should point exactly to your right. This position is similar to the one you go into to stretch your thigh.
What you do next is lower your upper body down to the ground so that your left shoulder is touching and resting on the floor. Do not do anything with your legs yet. Next, extend that bent right leg and swing it left over your left leg. As it passes over the left leg, bring it up and back around to the right so it makes a big circular arc. As you kick it to the right, kick your left leg to the left in a small clockwise circle and then tuck them both in as the force of your legs rolls you back onto your upper back.
You should roll as high as possible on your back. If you find yourself spinning off onto your right side or your left side after a rotation or two, try altering the amount you have your legs on that side tucked in. Eg. If you are spinning onto your right side, try not to tuck the right leg so much and tuck the left one a bit more. You can work this into your sixstep at step one. Extend your left leg like normal, but then let yourself fall on it and then kick the right leg over and around like described above.
IF YOU CAN DO 3 ROUNDS A BACKSPIN YOU HAVN'T MASTERED IT!!! YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO 8 AND MANY MORE!

- SHAKING -

Oh yes, one of my favorites. Especially the harlem shake. Lots of people don't like to do this because it is more for the ghetto people, but i love this sh*t. God damnit, so many props...

Here is a sent tutorial on an Anon. Shakers Version of the G Dep Shake

1. (start with any arm) place your elbow behind your back so that your forearm is sticking out your palm away from ure body and ure shoulder should be slightly drawn back.
2. now shake ure arms out of that position so that when ure one with that ure arms end up at ure side and then u do the same with ure other arm.hint:when ure moving ure arm make sure your hip is sticking in the direction of the arm u use first.when u shake ure arms it will kinda of look like ure doing the funky chicken. but be very loose with the shake and in about 2 seconds ure when ure arm is coming down it should come out then as it comes down it will look like u have a chill and u shiverin' kinda like the shimmy but in ure arms well peace!

Here's something that my friend wrote on a website...he has good info (i've copied and pasted it directly and changed nothing!).

"You don't know me ,but I am a shaker myself and i've came to give you advice
no I'm not a puff daddy impersonator,nor anything else, I just wan't you
to add a few things to your page which you didn't,1) if it hurts your doing it
wrong,... 2)the harlem shake has litteraly nothing to do with your shoulders
it's all in your hips and I repeat IT'S ALL IN YOUR HIPS,,..3)The key word is
to "slow" your never going to get the rythme by doing it like some crackhead,
4)heres how to do it first move your relax your arms INCLUDING YOUR SHOULDERS because dance about 90% hips, 10% shoulders trust me
move your hips back and forth,
start off slow then to fast,
IF YOUR DOING IT RIGHT YOU WOULD LOOK LIKE YOUR DOING IT WITHOUT
MOVING YOUR SHOULDERS,
look at yourself in the mirror and do it,
rember to keep yourself loose,
now move your hips faster, this time put your shoulders into it,
remember the key word is "EFFORT" if you don't put any effor into it
your not going to anything out of it,..
it should not hurt little to nothing if you do it this way,
once you get it then practice, (meaning your own style)
Yeah just add this little message to your page, thatz the way I teach people,.. "

** Techs
These are just variations on the two basic shakes. I'll try to describe the ones i've seen to the best of my ability. They are listed in order of difficulty from easiest to hardest.

Inverted Hands - When you shake instead of having your fingers/hands pointing away from you like most people do, point your hands/fingers towards your body and keep elbows pointing out. This is just a simple variation of the Eve shake that i've seen a couple people do B'more.
Stiff Arm - Do either of the basic shakes except keep your elbows locked out. From here you have a few choices, you can make your movements come more from your elbows, or come more from your wrists, etc... This can look good with some freezes if you move to a completely abstract freeze. (EX. Freezing into a pose in which your elbows are really bent.
Hip Shimmy (Female) - Every female shaker that i've had the pleasure of battling has done this move. It's kind of like wobblin' except you shake it, i can't really explain it, it's kind of like doing a shake except most of the movements attract most watchers to the hips. Watch the very end of Turk's "Freak dem Girls" video and try doing that SLOWER, then shaking it...
G. Dep/Eve Hybrid - In my opinion the hardest shake, after you master this then you have most likely mastered all of the above and have some real nice techs/freezes/specialties. You are definitely "club-worthy." Anyway, if you want to see it done to a T, watch "Put Your Hands Up". Watch the kid that waves at the camera at the end of the last verse. He is doing it except that he adds a little by picking his feet up to the beat. All you have to do is mix the shoulder motion from the eve shake with the elbow motion from the G Dep shake and Coordinate it. So that both movements are going 4x the beat at the same time. Any faster than this and you better be going into a freeze or something soon. The hardest part is getting to do both of them insync with each other, like when one shoulder is up, that arms elbow should be pointing out and that other shoulder, which should be down, should have that arms elbow pointing in and closest to the body. If you get the upper body movement into this, then you can add your hips into it. Your hips can be going side to side 1x, 2x, or 4x if your good/female =). In Put Your Hands Up, i'm pretty sure the kid is going 1x with his hips, but you can't notice it easily because he keeps picking his feet up. The first time i did this (correctly) my ribs started to hurt for a little bit, but that should pass once you do it multiple times.
**

Here are some music videos that have shaking in them:

Eve-Who's that Girl (the original... i think? these guyz go off and personally my favourite thing they have is the attitude, THEY smile DA WHOLE TIME!!! and I like the choreographed shaking lol)
G Dep Featuring P.Diddy (NOT PUFF DADDY ANYMORE!!!) and Black Rob- Let's Get It-This is probably the most popular shaking song, and by this I mean this is the song out of all of these that gets the most club play.
Lil Bow Wow-Ghetto Girl (make SURE you SMILE if you are a guy and you shake to this song, I gotta say this song goes off almost as bad So Fresh, So Clean so you BETTER treat Bow Wow w/respect. The "Ghetto Girl" at the end of the video is just so, so, so... let's just say she goes off! You can learn just the fundamental movements from her because her moves are very cleaned (she's probably been doing this all 8 years of her life =)))<--- sorry about those i just had to close parentheses, ya know =)
Jadakiss- Put Your Hands Up This (in my opinion) is the best shaking video and has the most "advanced" shaking moves or "techs" for you BBoys/BGirls (Next in line would probably be Let's Get it). They have some choreographed Shakin as well as Great moves. Another thing to notice is what they wear.... (play on that in your own way...) <---you can probably tell also that i like the ... thing... a lot... maybe too much infact... ... ... ... ... =)
Destiny's Child Featuring Missy Elliot- Bootylicious (Remix)- This song has a couple good scenes of shakin, and overall I just love Beyonce,.... I mean this video! BEYONCE SHAKES!!!!! I repeat BEYONCE SHAKES!!!! If for nothing else you gotta see this. It's for like 2 seconds but it looks so tight! She does here little shoulder-to-freeze and it just makes me say damn every time I see it.
Foxy Brown feat. Spragga Benz- Oh Yeah- This song is new, hot, and REGGAE!! Foxy Brown lookin fine as usual, there isn't much shaking in this video, except for at the very end this guy starts to TICK SHAKE!!! (Ticking is like the new version of the robot). It looks awesome, it looked like he was in a continuous state of freezes. But that isn't the most important "lesson" from this video. The most important thing is to watch the ATTITUDE he has on his face!!! This video shows the attitude factor I keep talking about very clearly.
Jadakiss- Knock Yourself Out-Damn! Again? I was just chillin watching BET videos and this popped up, I had no idea it had shaking and still I decided to record it right? So i'm typing on the computer and I look at the TV screen to see if the videos over yet and BOOM POP POP! This guy AND this girl are shakin! Once again there is shaking in this video w/some pretty cool freezes (no names for them yet) and I'm gonna try to pull one of them (freezes) next time I'm in the club.
Jagged Edge- Where the party at (remix)- This video has some shaking in it, but it's not very good and it's only at one part. Don't bother w/this video unless you like Bow wow's walk (it's NICE).
Drunken Master - 50 Playaz Deep- Theres one guy during Drunken Masters part doing the basic shake, but the way it skips scenes it looks kinda tight. Only about a 3-4 second shake.
Lil Troy (feat Lil Flip) - We gonna Lean- I gotta represent fo my SCREWSTON N****'s! Lil Flip (I CAN DO THAT) goes hard as usual. And at the end of the video, there's a guy shakin in overalls. Don't laugh at him when you see it, it's Texas, not New York! That's all we got since i'm not in TX at the moment...
G Dep - Special Delivery- OMG OMG OMG, if you think this video was made for ANYTHING else besides shaking, you are a moron. They "tried" to put a plot in this video, but everyone knows that whole point of the video was the same three kids from the "Let's Get It" video. Check it out NOW!
Fabulous - Young'n (Holla Back)- This video is nice, it's good to see more artists putting shaking in their videos, they should know that if you make a video with shaking in it, it's gonna be a club hit, because everytime they play that, everyone will start shaking, catch my logic? OK lets get to the shaking, A lot of the video is breaking in the subway, so all you breakers should check that out. But in the last verse. There are two featured shakers. One is this YOUNG'N (she must be 6 tops) but she shakes real nice and even dusts off her shoulders a couple times ( It's so cute, i'm a guy and i'm saying it's cute). Then there is this guy that also shakes and he pouts his lips while shaking his shoulders ( He doesn't have all the space that the girl has so i guess he couldn't really show off), then they mix into "Right Now and Later On" and the White guy goes OFF! Damn, he does some robot/shake hybrid. It's funny as hell, he even does the "double-take" move that on of the shakers in the "Bootylicious Remix" video does! Over all this video is tight and i'm watching it as much as possible. From a learning aspect, most advanced shakers won't really get much from this, except for the attitude of the lil girl. But beginners will see both the eve and gdep shakes done by the little girl. For space reasons the other guy only does a short eve shake mixed into a shoulder nod.
Jay - Z - Izzo- Not much, just a little shaking with a lil kid, it's just good to say "Awww, how cute." Nothing more.
JD - Ballin' out of Control - This video is real nice, and JD is quite good at shaking, it' looks especially funny because of his lazy eyes and his height (or lack of.)
Lil J - It's the Weekend- This is an alright video, Lil J does almost the exact same shake that JD does in "Ballin Out of Control" (Coincidence?) He's pretty good at it, and it's another video to catch if you wanna see the shake that most people people do in clubs/parties and what not.
Nsync - Girlfriend- During the second verse, Justin and Joey shake for like one second. But I just had to add it.
Bow Wow - Take You Home- The video and Bow Wow are mediocre at best, shake wise that is. He's a decent ticker and an excelent walker, but still has a lot more to learn about shakin. I wouldn't look to this video to learn any new moves from him or his females shakers in the video (except for the attitude from that older lady with the real long chain). For all your avid Bow Wow fans, most of yall that shake are better than him probably :-), just don't say that to his face when you get your chance to meet him. And Bow Wow, if you need a Shake Tutor, u know who to call...
Clipse - Grindin-This beat is real nice, gotta give the Neptunes Props again... So in the first chorus, there is a little scene of a line of girls shakin, and they all have a great basic G-Dep Shake, except for one, and the girl in black, does a shake-to-slowgrind tech which looks great. I would recommend this scene to anyone having trouble with the G.Dep shake.
P. Diddy feat the Neptunes- Diddy - Scantily Clad models in High Heels shaking, 'nuff said.

I'll have ALOT more on shaking later...but my fingers are getting tired from typing. On to the next dance!

* * * * * *

- HOUSE -

House is more of a freestyle type dance...and is very rare (my least favorite). It includes alot of jumping, floating, running around and all that sh*t. Sorry to say that i can't say alot about this topic, so i'll have to give you all a website to go to: http://www.shaddapanddance.com <-- A crew of good house dancers. Go there if you're interested!!

I'll have more on this later when i Update.

* * * * * *

- RAVING -

Now I'm just not the type of person to be raving, but raving is damned popular. I'll ask my friend to type up a piece that teaches a few moves or whatever, but as for me trying to teach you guys...nooo thanks. (you can look it up and give me some info to add here if you wish ^_^).

* * * * * *

Well yeah...there ya go. *whew*

I know it's not alot, but like i said, Dancing is such a broad subject, that you'll have to do most of the research individually. I'll be sure (no doubt) to update this again sometime, so keep it on the lookout. But other than that...

Good luck dancing and have fun!!

Nice post man except for one thing...GLOWSTICK DANCING IS NOT CALLED RAVING..sorry about the caps its just that to the ravers out there, it doesn't make sense to call it raving. Think of it this way. When your DJing at a rave, its called DJing right? When your dancing at a rave its called dancing right? When ur glowSTRINGING at a rave you are glowstringing? So that would mean if you are glowstick dancing you are glowstick dancing. Don't take offense man i was just correctin ya. By the way glowstick dancing rules i've been doin it for a couple months it gets attention if ur good at it

obviously if u look at that section of the post...u can see that theres nothing written there...becuz i kno not alot about it. maybe ur right...but then...thats just the term i use for now becuz some ppl dont understand it when i say something like "glowsticking dancing" so i just use the word "rave"
