I want to stop being that person who sits around while everyone dances. At the moment, I have very little idea of what I'm doing. What should I know and what should I learn? Should I conform or try to be original?
Is learning to c-walk a bad idea?

>should i try to be original
no. dancing isn't like art. not in this sense. its just people wiggling around socially. i just kinda turn from one shoulder to the next and sway my hips. honestly unless you do outrageous stuff (especially with hands) no one will even notice you. people dont go to these things to look at people dance and make fun of em. im an extremely self conscious person but on the dance floor i feel fine (despite sucking) cuz theres no real good or bad to it. plus everyones drunk so its not like they'd notice if they did.
Do this and you will be the life of the party

Gangstas don't dance.

Don't try too hard, don't learn elaborate moves or anything. Just focus on the music, and you just kind of sway and step a bit to the music.
I used to be exactly like you, but it really isn't a big deal once you just force yourself to get out there and do it. Like anything else, the first few times will be awkward, but I actually think it's pretty fun now. There's not much too it. If you seem like you're comfortable and having fun, everyone says you're a "good dancer."

I have yet to try this at parties but I'd be curious to see how it goes

Sorry bro but crip walking is dead, try cutting shapes, or just pop a few gooks and let the M.D do its job. ;)
>Is learning to c-walk a bad idea?
learning is never a bad idea but i'd start with something subtle

yes it's ment to be funny but the moves are real, just highly exhagerated.
just pay attention to the kick and synchronise your movements with that, disregard all other instruments untill you've got that trough.
common white folks problem: trying to dance to all instruments at once!
also have fun and people will assume you either know what you're doing or are confident enough to just have fun without being bothered by what people think.

You get me. At the start, I instinctly tried to dance to all percussion hits (if it isn't just four evenly spaced kicks or a constant kick-snare beat, I look spastic) or even the melody.
