Okay, ladies, good work. I see you’ve heeded my advice: I’ve seen more girls rocking better party attire, for sure. But I still think some people need to read my last blog about what to wear out (hyper-link). I’m specifically calling out some girls at Call on Me last weekend. Remember ladies, if the theme is 80’s work out, dress for 80’s work out.

Enough about the last blog though. This week we have a delightful topic to discuss — dancing. All girls should be able to dance at a party; if not then what’s the point of going out? Some of you claim to “not be dancers”, and, hey, I understand that some people are born without rhythm. I am not asking for perfect pirouettes here…just simple hip movement. And try to remember that shoulders can become dangerous weapons while dancing. Use them sparingly, and focus on moving, how shall we say this? More enticing body parts…

Being an avid fan of grinding, I feel like I can pass some critique here. There are wrong and right ways to grind. I know a girl that simply can. not. grind. It isn’t pretty. She barely moves!

Please don’t be this girl. Even if you aren’t born with the gift of dancing like a Latino goddess (if only…), you should still try to move with the music. And USE YOUR HIPS!

Bottom line? If it is uncomfortable for you, it will most likely be for him, too. So dance with confidence! Be carefree!

And also try to avoid the awkward noodle impression.

Keep it classy, Wake girls,
Her Guy Friend
