In this video, I’m going to ask you personality questions that’s going to help you figure
out what dance is perfectly suited for you.
On my side over here are the dance style options that you can choose from.
Obviously there are more dances than this, but I only bring you THE FRESHEST content
and THE FRESHEST dances.
All those other dances, ARE LAME!!!
(Comment below that my turtleneck looks lame if you see this hidden message)

Lets get on with the video.
Starting it off, every dancer’s journey begins by asking themselves the question “What
dance should I learn?”.
When you ask yourself this question, you then have to think, how much you like people and
how okay are you with strangers touching you.
You only have 3 options to choose from: Option 1: You hate people, or you don’t
like strangers touching you.
Option 2: You like people, and you’re okay with strangers touching you.
Or Option 3: You are undecided about how much you like people, and maybe you’re okay with
people touching you, it depends on the situation.
If you’re not a people person, or perhaps you’re undecided about whether you want
people to touch you or not, that means you should go into solo dancing.
The solo dance options are a part of a different video.
So if you want to watch that, click this link here to watch that now.
Otherwise I’ll assume you said, you like people or maybe you’re undecided about people
touching you.
Which means, you will end up in partner dancing.
Now that we know that partner dancing, aka the best kind of dancing, is the type of dance
for you, let’s get on with the real questions.
How much personal space do you prefer when you’re with other people?
Do you want no personal space, so you’re up front and personal?
Or, do you want lots of personal space, because you don’t want to be smelling each other’s
breath?
In other words, when you’re having a conversation with somebody, are you more likely to be nose
to nose?
Or do you want a good 2 or 3 feet (1 meter for metric people) separating you two.
If you’re okay with your conversations being devoid of personal space, then what you want
is a latin dance.
Next question.
When you’re dating somebody, do you prefer chill or calm relationships?
Or do you want dramatic, spicy, and exciting relationships?
If you’re a person that’s calm and boring, then what you need, is a cliche dance experience.
Luckily, I’ve got 2 options for you.
You’ll be amused at what they are.
Next question, when you go on dates with people, do you sit down across or in front of them?
As if you’re trying to low key interview them?
Or do you sit beside them?
So that you can use that as an excuse to feel them up?
If you prefer to interview your date, and go between touching their hand occasionally
to not touching them at all, then Salsa is the dance for you.
When I say Salsa is the dance for you, what I really mean is that it’s either the 1
or the 2 for you.
Are you using dance to find the “one”?
Or, are you disgusted by that person and you’re actually looking, for an on 2 experience?
Either way, when you’re divorced and you’re in your 30s or your 40s, then Salsa is the
perfect cliche dance to spice up your life.
You’ll totally convince yourself that you’re doing something new and cool, but like, that
was everyone else’s first choice.
On the other hand, if you like to sit beside your date and secretly feel them up, then
the dance you’re looking for, is Bachata.
Bachata is exactly what non-dancers think what partner dancing looks like, because all
they’ve ever experienced is the club, and they assume that partner dancing is basically
the same thing.
You’ll spend all night grinding on each other to sick latin beats, such as, Ed Sheeran’s
the Shape of You.
All the while doing body rolls that will never end, and hair flips that will dislocate your
neck from your head.
I hope you have the best health benefits, because you’ll need physiotherapy after
1 night of dancing.
Going back, if you prefer dramatic and spicy relationships, then you need dances that are
as bipolar as you are.
Now answer me this, when you check out men, or women, or anything in between, what body
parts are you more likely to look at?
Do your eyes gravitate towards their toned legs, and provocative butt?
Or are you more into chest, arms and curves?
If you like legs and butts, then Argentine Tango are the legs that you’re looking for.
Argentine Tango is the hottest and the coldest, cat and mouse partner dance, there ever was.
When you do this dance, there will never be an absence of drama and mystery.
It’s basically as exciting as the most dysfunctional relationship you can ever think of.
You’d never want to actually be in that relationship, but hey, it is such a fun experience
when you turn it, into a dance.
And when you’re not dancing, you’re going to be doing the weirdest eye contact and social
behaviour rituals there ever were and you need to be something like a master tango dancer
to understand if someone’s asking you for a dance or if they’re saying no.
And unlike normal people, your calves will be the sexiest about you.
Unless you’re a leader or a guy, then you’re going to look like an amorphous blob, because
all you’re wearing is a suit that basically distorts your whole body shape.
Which means the shape of you, is a human rectangle.
If however chest and curves are more your thing, then Zouk is your flavour.
Have you ever looked at a GQ, or a Victoria Secret magazine, and wondered what it'd look
like, if dancers wore all of those clothes?
Then look no further, because Zouk is that aesthetic.
Followers, when you do Zouk, be prepared to invest into a personal make up artist and
a wardrobe consultant, because that’s what you’ll need to get the best dances with
all the greatest leaders.
If you don’t do that, well then followers, be prepared to wait in a long line up for
probably an hour so that you can have a 3 to 9 minute dance experience.
Leaders though, be prepared to get good, or die trying.
At the very least, you don’t have to look as pretty.
Now that we’ve gone through all the sexy latin dances, let’s go back in time, all
the way back to the partner dance section.
If instead of no personal space, you need lots of personal space.
Then dances that you’re looking for are eurocentric or north american in origin.
Let me ask you, how do you make your vacation plans?
Are you more likely to plan most of the details of your vacation beforehand?
Or will you book a flight to Vegas, plan some details, and improvise the rest?
If you like to plan out your vacation and have no surprises, then you’re looking for
dances that are like a theme park.
There’s no unexpected adventures, and somebody else has choreographed your day.
Next question, when you were younger, did you dream of being a Disney prince, or princess?
Or did you want to bebecome a cowboy, cowgirl, or cowperson since it’s 2020 y’know.
Lets say disney was your bae, then I’ve got a disney+ subscription where you can pretend
to be an aristocraft, with your ball gowns and your tail suits.
And that subscription is called, Ballroom.
If the rat race was made into a movie, which it was, and then turned into a dance, Ballroom
would be that dance.
Ballroom is the equivalent of climbing the corporate ladder.
You’ll spend your whole career trying to reach the top, only to be overshadowed by
the son or the daughter of the ceo.
Or in this case, the devil offspring of some dance champion who gave their child, the best
gift there is, the gift of privilege.
Also known as *cough* good politics with the judges *cough*.
But if your heart is a lot more rustic and you’re gonna take your horse down to the
old town road, then Country is where you’ll be.
Be prepared to take a multitude of dances and make them more southern and Country.
Whatever that means?
You will own so many cowboy hats and rhinestone dance boots that it’ll take up your entire
closest.
All the while every other dance will wonder how you can appropriate their dance and turn
it southern.
At the very least, you’re not like Ballroom where you’re putting on so much fake tan,
and literally brown facing yourself as you appropriate their dance and their culture.
Jumping back, instead of planning your vacations and having no surprises, you’re more likely
to go to Vegas and Improvise.
Also known as, saying screw it to having a plan.
Then I’ve got good news for you, you’re a party animal.
Which means you need dances as exciting, as awesome, as spontaneous as you are.
Now I need to ask you, what sort of party experience do you think you would enjoy more?
Do you think you would enjoy vintage clubbing, where everyone’s wearing suits and flapper
dresses, and cosplaying a scene from The Great Gatsby if it came to life and it was simultaneously
a dance and a party?
Or would you be more into exciting hotel parties where music’s blaring, alcohol’s flowing
and you’re hopping from hotel room to hotel room, partying all night, before security
shuts down your party, as if you were 18 all over again.
If you want to imitate the 20’s to the 50’s, then guess what?
Lindy Hop is what you’ll swing for.
Every Lindy Hopper takes complete pride in being vintage.
Your clothes are vintage, your dance is vintage and your wine?
It’s vintage too, circa 2010.
You’ll ignore grace and subtlety, in pursuit of more American attributes like athleticism
and speed!
Lindy dancers are secretly NASCAR drivers because they’re ready to go fast at any
time.
180 bpm?
Easy.
230 bpm?
Barely breaking a sweat.
280 bpm?
Houston, we have lift off.
However, if you prefer to party like whatever decade you’re in, and hotel parties are
the dopamine hits that you’re looking for, then be prepared to enter the cult of dancing,
also known as WEST COAST SWING.
You can create a west coast swing or westie community, by taking the nerdiest, most late
blooming men or women, and teaching them how to dance.
Westies have 2 modes: Party like your life depends on it, or be
a connection junkie looking to become 1 with your partner.
Naturally this will lead to you sleeping through the 2 or 3 workshops that you said you’d
go to, or perhaps, somebody else said you would go to.
But because of that, I promise you will make friendships that span Cities, Countries and
Continents.
