I have been dancing since the turn of the century and have become very good at it. i am also good at teaching others my dance on the dance floor, i have found, as my dance is easy to do as you do what you want to do instead of what you think you must do. i have taught a few people on the dance floor how to dance and they learn quickly with my cheap approach to this art of beauty and body language.
You will find that the more you dance, the more comfortable you will be with what you look like, even radiating confidence with your body language at times. the firs thing i will tell you now is that you need to push when you walk and dance - a light push, not like pushing a rugby player in a scrum, but rather a little hint of salt on your meaty meal. this would be like just a gentle will of yours, complimenting how you use your body, if you are shy, you will become less shy once you find your way on a dance floor.
This is because dancing is usually about mating or celebrations, if history has anything to do with it. this means, naturally we 'dance' when we are socializing, of course. so, socializing is about body language often, among other things. if you know what your bodies impression is in the mirror, this is easily judged by yourself to mean this or that. lying to yourself could lead to naivety though, where you just hammer it into yourself that you have better body language than others, and get stressed when this is tested. of course, knowing what you do look like, this would make you more aware of your stance in the circle or wherever.
If you were to want to start with your body forming patterns, as that is what dancing is about, making something to look at for others, and this often makes you do things you are familiar with or find yourself good at delivering, the patterns will sort themselves out. it is better to just go with the way you are feeling than to force a move, unless you really want to do that move, as this leads to a better message through less stress. that is why some people look so stiff when they dance, they are forcing something - doing something you want to reach for is much more pleasing to you, yes?
So, why not give it a go? you could just mess around in the mirror and see what you look like when you do these things, of course. this will make you realize you are good at some things, and bad at others, or good at many things and so forth, yes? of course, forcing yourself into doing something will make your muscles learn that movement, and it might come naturally after a while, but there will still be stress if it is not what you want to do.
The comfort of your own company and opinion is refreshing with something like this. this means you can show people once you are ready, and feel the comfort in your body language, in the ways you feel comfortable, of course.
