why I love google-

because you can find anything. unless you really need it then you usually cannot.

example:
I googled- "how to dance at the club"
inspired by some of the awfully awkward moves i saw the other night (it wasn't really a club, mind you, but same idea)

found some hysterical you tube videos

and these stellar quotes:

Some styles of partner dancing can be sexually charged. Even if you're with a partner who is comfortable with this, don't confuse public and private behavior. It's dancing, not baby-making

Things to Avoid on the Dance Floor

  1. Don't clap, point, snap or start the disco train. The party has started. It doesn't need your help. In general, you're trying to blend in, not draw attention to yourself by shouting out the lyrics to songs or starting dance battles.
  2. Grope, bump, stare or invade anyone else's space in any way whatsoever. If you're a guy, this is especially true. Women don't like to be touched, grabbed or otherwise assaulted on the dance floor. You also shouldn't flail around. Bumping into people and spilling their drinks won't win you any friends. So, create a little space for yourself and stick to it.
  3. Don't drink too much. Having a drink or two to help you loosen up is fine. Downing half a bottle of liquid courage is a problem. If you're drunk, you're more likely to bump into people and execute some ill-advised moves.
  4. Don't jump up and down. Unless you're participating in some sort of crowd-pleasing rendition ofHouse of Pain's "Jump Around," save pogo-ing for the under 8 crowd.
  5. Don't stare at the floor. It makes you look stiff and overly-serious unless, of course, you're in a goth club. If you're in a goth club, stare away.
  6. Leave the DJ alone. If there's a song playing that you love and don't know what it is, by all means, ask the DJ. Don't, however, tell the DJ how to do his or her job by requesting songs or a new style of music. This may be acceptable at a wedding. In a nightclub, it's just annoying. The DJ isn't there to cater to your personal tastes. He or she is a professional trying to get the whole place moving.
  7. Avoid any situation where you're in the middle of the circle, in a soul train line or in any other way "on stage." You're not John Travolta. You're just a guy or gal enjoying the music
