Most people know how to dance, or at least improvise at school parties. But being a dancer and making your own moves is truly a skill. Follow these simple tips to learn how to improvise your dance.

Steps

1. 1 Create a comfortable home environment. Stand in front of a full-length mirror. It is important that you fully see your body. Then put on your most comfortable clothes (don't worry about what people will think if they see you) and just play the music. Select a song:
   • which you like
   • easy to dance to
   • just a popular song
2. 2 This is, believe it or not, the hardest part of dancing. Just move to the music and don't worry about how funny it will look, because you are still learning. Make any movements with your body, as long as they are not coordinated. Just dance.
3. 3 Listen to the song you are going to dance to. Try to understand it and remember when the tempo gets faster and slower, and when the song ends. Listen to the song a few more times and go dance.
4. 4 Connect several movements together. You can come up with three, four, or even one movement that will only be yours. You should dance them to the music and still feel natural. For beginners: there should be claps in your movements, this will help you feel the rhythm.
5. 5 Make large transitions from one movement to the next as you dance, because this is a free style. It will be cool if you do cool things with your hands over your head, while doing the movements with your hips. Use different dance levels and make your dance interesting.
6. 6 Look for inspiration. Watch different dance shows or just how the professionals dance. Don't copy their dance moves, but you can use them for your ideas, which should please you and others anyway.
7. 7 Enjoy! Wherever you are, if you are going to dance, go back to step 2 and remember: you must look natural and move in time with the music. Feel the music. Connect with your audience. Be sure that you succeed and just move.

Tips

• Don't start right away with kicks or flips. First, do a few general movements, and then move on to more complex ones.
• Freestyle dancing with a partner is sometimes easier.

Warnings

• Don't completely copy other people's movements, but just take note of the way they dance.
• Don't make yourself a rival, it's just freestyle.
• Stretch to avoid injury before making any serious movement or going to break dance.
• If you are a beginner, you shouldn't do too extreme movements.
