What kinds of dances are good to know for a high school homecoming dance?

Colin: What kinds of dances are good to know for a high school homecoming dance?
Hi, I am a 16 year old guy who plans to attend my first high school dance this year, just so happens to be the homecoming dance. That being said, I am very much a novice at dancing, having a handful of youth rallies and concerts as my only experience (these mainly consisting of mosh pit type “dancing” and messing around). In my arsenal I have a basic understanding of slow dancing, two step, and grinding, but like I said not much experience actually using any of these. I will be attending the homecoming dance with a girl, so I will have a partner. Basically what I am asking is, what types of dances are suitable and good to know for such an occasion and accessible to someone of my experience? What dances are good for rock music, hip hop, etc; freestyle, with partner? Any explanations, tips, and pointers you can offer are very much appreciated.Thank you!

Usually they do line dances and such like the Cha Cha Slide, Booty Call, Electric Slide, Macarena, Cotton Eyed Joe, YMCA, and others of that caliber. These are usually easy to pick up at the dance and move in a circle. Most of them consist of a combination of steps, hops, and claps moving from one direction to another. But if you need help, ask a friend, sibling (especially a sister), or even your mom-like figure (chances are she’s been to a wedding or two in which these dances were performed.) Usually at a school dance nobody really dances like in the movies. They just bob up and down in time with the music. Slow dancing is simply stepping back and forth with a partner in your arms. Put hold her right hand with your left hand and place your right hand on her back (too high and you’re saying “You remind me of my little sister” and too low: you’re saying you’d rather be in her pants than in her arms and even if that’s where you’d rather be you shouldn’t let her know that!) If she puts both arms around your neck, then put your arms around her waist. I really hope this helps! If you need anymore help, just ask. Good Luck!
