Dancing queen - well not quite.

Well, what I do is watch the girls on the dance floor, decide which moves I like the look of (and can actually do without hurting myself) and jump onto the dance floor when a tune excites me.

Best thing to do is just smile and move with the music, feeling the moves, and feeling femme.

Your s/o is right about the dad dance thing - don't do that - but don't worry about it either. Dancing is fun, and even more so when you're dancing with someone.

One word of warning, I have found that dancing en femme can attract a number of female admirers - women just appear next to you and you're suddenly dancing with them, sometimes in a big group - it's lovely, and it's happened to me every time I've been out dancing.

It gives the best opportunities to admire their dance moves (and outfits) and decide what would work for you.

Main thing, relax, have a couple of drinks, enjoy the music, feel the beat, SMILE, and have fun.

No-one is judging.

Love Laura

I'd like to challenge you for the title " worlds worst dancer"...i make dad dancing look cool...

Anyone who knows me, will not let me near a dance floor...all arms and legs...in fact i remember the last time i danced, someone rushed out of the room and came back with a defibrillator...!!!!...

So imagine that...but en femme????

Hi Didi

I love 4music channel in the mornings, music videos galore to watch and learn, dance R&B, current pop, relaxed and fluid. Calvin Harris, Sigala, clean bandit, Dua Lipa, Mabel, Taylor Swift, Pink, Ella Henderson, Beyoncé... lOST in music🤣

Let go of the stressed stifled ‘I don’t really want to be dancing’ dad dancing!

Let the dad go... be Didi💃

❤️Bianca

Hi Didi nice meeting you and as Stephanie i cant go out and so envious of you girls that can .. So my advice is to go enjoy yourself and dont worry about anybody else just be Didi the pretty woman you are and have fun ..

Stephanie Bass

Hello Didi first of all I have looked at your profile picture you look really good, I don't think you have any worries there. So your SO could be right have some dance practice at home, if your dancing is ok nobody will suspect anything. Try not to dance like Tina Turner.

Best Wishes

Sarah

My advice would be to keep it simple, not every girl can dance either. Study some on line videos and pick out some simple dance move that you like with basic moves that you can remember easily. It's going to be fine, you don't have to be centre stage,or  spot light disco diva. Melt into background and enjoy. 

I've never been dancing as Bettylou, and probably won't. But if I were to try, I would focus first on the waltz: But backwards, in heels. From there, you could probably advance to a Fox Trot. Beyond that, I have no idea.

Hugs,
Bettylou

Well at the end of the day Grace, it comes down to who had the worst shock, them or you sweetie? 😂😂

I can't offer any advice, I can't dance either . And this comes from someone who was a DJ for 20 years ! I can do all the line dances but that came with watching videos and PRACTICE ! Freestyle is beyond me, I look like a petrified log. All I can say is watch and copy something you like. Just go out and have fun.

Do remember that if you dance a slow couples dance or an older style dance you will be dancing backwards and in heels!

You go girl!

Love,

Beth

Didi,

One very important thing to remember, you aren't on Dancing With The Stars.   There aren't any judges on the sidelines.

Relax first and foremost.  Drop the 'Dad Dances'.  If where you are going dancing is mostly structured like Samba's, or waltzes or such, then a few lessons from a dance instructor are in order.  They will teach you the ladies side of the dance if you just ask them, you are paying them to teach you.  Low heels or flats to start.  If you have never fallen in a dress or skirt, I would suggest a nice wide legged pants suit, at first anyway.

If it dancing at a club, just look around and watch at first, see how goofy some people look, then realize you will never dance that bad.  Have at least one drink, listen to the music, stand at side at first, don't jump into the middle of the dance floor.

Start with just moving your hands and let the moves and feelings just kind of take over.  The only thing you need to pay attention to is who is close to you, don't step on them.   DO NOT worry what your dancing looks like, just enjoy yourself and move to the music.  You are doing this to make yourself happy and enjoy a night out.  Heaven knows we all need it after the last year.

This Old Broad survived the disco years without much public embarrassment, you can have a good time with your SO too, and the sun will still rise in the morning.

Gotta keep "rollin, rollin, rollin on the river" 💃 💃

always do the slow songs never fail.

Dance with your SO in the kitchen, have her teach you. Make it a girls sing in. Get silly and have fun. I’m sure it’s how she learned with her girlfriends in her teens.

Hi Didi,

I think I said this in a previous post but when I dance its like I have to pee really really bad and I'm standing in line waiting to get into the restroom which is 12 deep. So I don't dance. If that's something you want then I'm sure you can take lessons, heck you accomplished so much in this life whats one more thing, take a lesson. Hugs-Katey
